Can you help us find the bunfights?

[AllMimsyWereTheBorogoves]

You could put a great big red arrow on the active convos list against the likely contenders. It's not always easy to tell a bunfight from a long-running chatty thread, so number of posts isn't an infallible way to find them.

Failing that, can we have a bun emoticon? The cake and biscuits just aren't precise enough.

I think we also need a tongue-in-cheek emoticon, while I'm on the subject.

Seconded.

Ooh maybe a GF flag too. And a picture of a train on its side for threads that have gone way off topic.

GF? (Probably being thick here.) Love the derailed train idea!

Great idea. I never did click on the thread about finding out which school so done went to, and I sooooo regret it.

I am still awaiting the irony emoticon.

Someone. Sigh.

GF := goady fuckers

I'd also like a banging-my-head-on-the-table emoticon for this point in a long thread:

Poster A has said something idiotic

Posters B-Y have explained why it's idiotic in great detail

Poster A is ignoring everything they've said except to nitpick about a minor detail in Y's post

Poster Z comes along and agrees with A and also ignores B-Y

A and Z link arms and keep telling each other how great they are and how everybody else is smug, snobbish, bigoted etc etc

All of this is repeated six times over and in 2 hours there have been 600 posts.

No.

Sorry, Rowan, I didn't quite catch that. Was that a yes?

Ha ha ha ha

Did you keep that from last Friday Rowan?

What happened last Friday? I can't remember that far back.

Referendum?

Oh, and thanks, Mrs Hathaway! I was being thick. I thought as much.

Oh! Right. I was paying attention at the time, honest.
