Mark VS Forum Smartarses

This is just a general shout out to those of you who have an account with any forum. As a regular over at www.rpgrevolution.com (well, when I say regular I mean I visit it quite a lot, i'm not generally a large poster on the forums), i've encountered what I like to call 'Forum Smartarses'.

I'm sure you've all seen it before, the 'confused noob' looking for some guidance, until, unfortunately stumbling into one of these evil-doers known as 'Forum Smartarses.'

A 'Forum Smartarse', or 'FS' for short is my universal description of someone who responds to a kindly request with useless jargon, insults, or any kind of 'smartarse behaviour'. An example of this would be -

Chewbacca66 says: Hello, i'm generally new to this forum, but, whilst making my new RPG with RPG Maker VX I have encountered a problem [...] I would greatly appreciate any help. The scripts and add-ons i'm using are [...] If these are in any way causing the problem, it would be helpful if someone could mention this. Thank you.

FSKING says: You're an utter and total noob, anyone could get this, you just need to move the scripts around, loser. Maybe you should read the post guidlines before posting, noob.

This is just a simple idea, 'FSKING' here could be using a whole range of insults. This is a complete and utterly stupid way to respond to any request. For one, it doesn't help at all, and it seriously just pisses me off when I see it.

However, there's also this problem, when attacked by an FS, the attack-ee will respond with similar FS behaviour.

JUST LEAVE IT. TELL A MODERATOR, FOR GODS SAKE.

It just annoys me!
