"Posting Mannerisms"

[Toffee.]

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mannerism

So... Out of curiosity, does anyone else do things that are oddly specific when they post?
I sometimes post with large purple text, use "n' junk" as a description for a large quantity, and use "meme arrows", among other things.

Obviously mannerisms only really apply to speech/etc, but you get the idea.

[Alice Moonflowyr]

I don't really do anything in forum posts.

 

But in Skype, I tend to break up my messages.

 

like

I will send them

like this

 

And I also use a lot of ^-^, :3, =o, >:, ^0^, and xD.

[Maeriberii Haan]

I usually use "meow" lately to indicate joke response or sarcasm, spam tildes for whenever I liked using them, and I guess that's it.

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

There was that time i said a certain repetitive adverb ultra-often. As a matter of fact, I have picked up the habit of doing it in real life, and have to work ultra-hard to not do it while posting at this point.

[Brinolovania]

I use "=D" quite a bit, and I also have to resist the urge to use too many ...'s all the time.

[Lunar Origins]

There are three modes for me.

 

this is the mode i use the most often in personal communication, as it's easy and quick.  no capitalization, but correct punctuation is a necessity.  my chat logs are usually riddled with smiley faces ^ -^

 

When talking officially, or posting on the forum outside of misc., I tend to use this style.  I feel like I come off as a bit too serious, but, well, I'm okay with that.

 

aND THIS IS THE STYLE I USE WHEN I FIND OUT THAT A NEW POKEMON GAME IS RELEASED OMG

 

So, yeah, I do have different posting mannerisms, depending on the place and what's appropriate.  It's an interesting thing seeing how other people handle it.

[Forest Fire]

Kinda like Adora, only I have this and lazy. In both, I try to use correct punctuation, but if i get lazy, i stop capitalizing stuff. like this. 

[Makο]

Recently I've begun to not caps things at all. It depends on the post and context, though.

[LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow]

I like...kinda talk really...idk, basically like I do in real life. Lots of pauses and crap.

 

And yes that was an example.

Also I say also a lot.

Oh and I do this, the enter key, use it a lot.

[Fusion X. Denver]

I USED TO TALK LIKE THIS LIKE A LOT. 

Don't forget the occasional Wiseman quips that would never be acknowledged outside of green text.

I also used the word "like" a lot in forum posts within the past couple years which boggles me since how could that not be completely obnoxious.

But most importantly, I tend to start a new line for every sentence or two that I type. I dunno why, it's just something I've always done and will probably continue doing, to be honest.

[evilfusion]

I'm not entirely sure if my posting mannerisms differ much from my speaking mannerisms. My word choice is often a crucial element in my...no seriously, I actually talk like this!

 

Granted, it's without the fumbling that my mouth is prone to doing when I try to articulate...

 

Okay, being AWARE of how bizarre my word choice is can be really distracting.

 

I do tend to start a lot of statements with some useless word or preface, such as "Okay", "Granted", "Typically". In a sense, I think I do that to prevent stating an opinion as a fact, or to otherwise eliminate emotional bias from coming into play.

 

I am now bolding my "useless word/preface" in the above post. Just as an idea of how often and subconsciously I do this.

[Goose]

i tend to avoid capital letters since they add no value to a sentence.  

[The Warden]

I tend to type like how I speak really, so I tend to repeat words a lot and sometimes add in certain lingos that you say but don't type, like s'alright.

[Night]

I post differently depending on the section, I've found.

 

In Showcase I just say whatever the fuck I want, fuck grammar, fuck people's feelings, fuck convention. It's my section, with my kido's, all about shit that I like to produce. So there's a sense of belonging I suppose and with that there's freedom that comes with it because I know those guys wouldn't judge me for the shit that I say or do. 

 

With General I tend to be more understanding of the people around me, out of respect more than anything. I'm also far more distant I guess, I try not to be too personal.

 

With Literature it's kinda odd actually because, I'm joking no one fucking goes there. 

[Tormented]

I literally don't give a fuck in every section so I just do what I want within the rules and when I break the rules I do it in a manner that doesn't get it warned.

 

I'll be doing lessons on the latter every Sunday at 69pm

[Shradow]

I often have posts with an action but no subject.

 

With multiline posts like this, I have a tendency to start the latter ones with "Also".

[Madsen]

I'm not a hypocritical cunt like amir so i cba to care very much

[Simping For Hina]

In Other TCG Decks, I post full on reviews to decks that peak my interest for the particular reason that people need to get on my level. I want to help people get better so that Modern is more of a format that people know how to play and can strive in. 

 

Showcase is shit. Everyone in there is shit. Especially Mademir. Only 3 members post art, and I will never be one of them. But I love everyone there <3, so I am shit, too. 

[Madsen]

>Everyone in there is shit. Especially Mademir

 

bet yo fuckin ass, i swear im like the least liked person outside of showcase haha

[Maeriberii Haan]

>Everyone in there is shit. Especially Mademir

Please don't spam.

 

Even if you're just replying to Dae.

[Madsen]

'Oh gentle fellow I was only making an ever so futile attempt to creatively showcase a kind of posting mannerism that you would encounter in a conversation with me.' Also fuck off

[Juuzou]

Nothing really related to typing habit, but a lot of the emoticons I use are specifically used to avoid skype emoticons replacing them, like :b using a b instead of a p and x: and o: being backwards from how their usually typed.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Really depends on section.

 

Introductions, I usually go a semi-formal route; make sure newbies know to read the rules, open the door to my message box if they need help and other stuff.

 

Custom Cards, essentially enforcer when I do my mod duties (tell people to obey AC if they're breaking it, lock necrobumped threads and some things); properly review crap in CC and compare them to whatever card I can recall from Konami.

 

TCG, basically try to post like I have an idea of what the hell goes on; and not look like an idiot.

 

Polls (especially with the GPT), basically write definitions and I suppose, debate my stance over what I vote for, and why the other ones weren't getting.

A lot of times, cold descriptions come out.

 

---

But I tend to use the word "stuff" often; as well as use "[x], so...."

 

 

 

Yeah, I have a few quirks.
