I, personally, have found it easy to ignore the annoying little gushy asides, but I agree about the pointless posting to get up status as being annoying.
What actually started getting to me a while back was that people set up their own threads each time they were a newbie saying "HIIIII! I'm new!" I didn't do that when I was new because I was, to tell the truth, so afraid of getting in trouble. I mean: it's okay to introduce yourself in your first post ever, but to create a separate thread for it? The forum's busy enough...we've already had to limit in the Freestyle RPG room because of all the RPG's that were started...
But: I think that the new rules enacted in here are doing a good job so far!
