First, a guy. Now, 100 more attention whores.

May I ask why you guys are still doing this other than to attract attention?

In case you don't understand the attention whore I'm speaking of, here's an example.

The most extreme example I've seen (not counting the one who specifically requested people to do it)

Sorry that I didn't explain clearly what I meant by "attention whores".

The attention whores I'm speaking of are those that hijacks first/second comments.

Yeah, I was a a little confused myself about what you meant with "attention whore." I thought you meant these people who create seemlesly pointless threads. Anyways, the attention whores you are now speaking of (these comment hi-jackers) are just that, attention whores. They want to make sure people see they have commented, so they would seem like active people here. I don't understand the point of it either. It just annoys people when someone hi-jacks a top comment just for attention.

Well that would just be lazy. Scrolling down the page to reach the comment box takes one second, nobody can be so lazy they don't want to do that. No, I think it's about craving for attention, not that sort of laziness.

With what purpose are you doing the list?

I mean, are you blacklisting them or something? Just curious.

And yeah, unless you have something to say that is VERY important, there's no point in hijacking the first comment.

(I rewordered it)

No, I'm just tagging them, I didn't create a blacklist solely on that purpose.

And why do I have to say something that's very important to create a thread?

Good thing i'm not lazy then to purchase a game, write a meaningful description, set the starting and ending time and finally click on Create Your Giveaway. Honestly, i would prefer if people would avoid writing anything in my giveaway then if they feel that half a second of scrolling is going to take their precious time

Only reason I can see for doing such a thing is if you want to ask a question (e.g. can I enter for the dlc only) about the giveaway. Might not get noticed if your question is on the 7th page. Wouldn't do it just to say thanks

The OP is just making a point here. I personally have absolutely nothing against bronies, but it just seems many of these attention whoring comment hi-jackers have a bronyish avatar. It might be a coincident, but I see his point. It's often bronies that are doing this annoying stuff.

that's like saying just because there is a larger proportion of blonde hair colored people and the rest have black hair, doesn't mean i can't make a blonde joke, or say anything bad about a blonde... you are getting too defensive as he is just pointing out that many of them have it, not all do... nor is every brony bad like he directly posted above at you... i am technically part-brony but yet i didnt take offense to it...

Hmm, you got a very good point there. I personally am not using the SG add-on, so I didn't remember people might have endless scrolling. Hmm, that might be it. I would say that is not laziness, that is just convenience.

First of all, my username is simonli2575, not BimonLi69 silomon69 or whatever. If you're just doing so to make fun of me, you're only making yourself look worse.

Second, nice excuse, you're "too lazy to scroll down". Ever heard of the "End" button? All it takes to scroll to the bottom of the screen is one single button, and it's "End".

Third, I'm not raging about the "problem". It's just that I want to understand what you all people ultimately want, or achieve, by the of hijacking first comment, other than to want people to notice you.

Fourth, please tell me more about why I am an attention whore without an explanation at all.

People hijack first comment in giveaways they think are fake so the creator (might) see it and anyone entering later may take heed.

In my mind though, that is borderline calling out. Hijacking for thanks though is stupid attention whoring.
