Can we have a PARP button, please?

So if that if you PARP a thread and then try and go back and post on it, a box pops up saying "Uh uh, you have parped, go and post somewhere else". And then if you try and namechange to post, another box comes up saying "Do you think we're idiots, we know it's you"... I would find that useful

LL - i think i know a thread that needs an extra huge parp right about now

It's when you find yourself stabbing the keyboards really hard while muttering to yourself, and end up posting inadvisably.

Really, you shoudl have a little alarm that sounds 'Parp!', as a warning to yourself that you will not be reasonable on this subject, will lose your temper, get sucked in, and be sat up at 1.30 am with a cold cup of tea, obsessively clicking 'refresh'.

If you write PARP, it means "that's it, I have said my piece, I'm off" and then you're supposed to leave the thread but I never quite manage it .

I always hear it as a farting noise in my head!
