Jeska recently ended a thread with the following phrase:

From: someone
"This thread has spiraled into personal attacks and as such is being closed."


I wonder... does she lie awake at night and think, "Hm... This thread has slid... no... This thread has been flushed... hmm, not right either... Spiraled? Yeah, spiraled. I'll say that."

Let's help her out, everyone!

Game I
Find previous closing remarks, provide the quote and link, and give her a 10 point rating for style plus any constructive criticism or stylistic pointers you'd like to add.

10 for best, 5 for neutral, 1 for terrible, you get the idea.

:D
Game II
Post closing remarks you'd like to see Jeska use instead of the one quoted (or post brand new ones).

"Yatta!"

;)

I'll give her a 6.

The spiral makes it not so clinical, but there really isn't a lot of innovation with that finishing move. Now if she'd said something like, "This thread has spiraled into a vortex of crap slinging appropriate only for toilet bowls," she could have earned some major style points.

"You're out of order! The courtroom is out of order!"

Extra points if she adds the MST3k addition of "...The candy machine by the men's room is out of order!"

I'd actually like to see her call out the name of her special attack, like anime characters and kung-fu movie characters.

"Spirit Dragon Thread Killer Strike! Hyaaaaaahhh!"

I'm hoping to see:

"This thread is boring. I'm closing this in the hopes that you stop trolling the damn forum and go out into the sunlight for a few minutes today."

or

"NO! Your argument is all WRONG! You're a complete idiot! Closing this crap!"

or, in an Arnold Schwartzenegger voice:

"SHAAAAADDDDDDDUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPPP!!!!"

"This thread has been closed. I have cross-posted it to the Something Awful forums for you to continue the drama, personal attacks, and liberal use of 'Leet Speak' and 'Pwned' on your own time.

Thank you. Please drive through."



As for real edits in the past, the forums could certainly use more "donky."

Was "Jeksa" used in the thread title deliberately to avoid naming names?

Personally I think she should just have a giant :rolleyes: icon to end each thread with.

Excellent. :)

I think she should use hidden text that's small and/or the same color as the background alla Ulrika, and add in closing comments such as, "Seriously, WTF are you thinking? ARE you thinking?", ect.
