does it mean they are spammers?

no you get labeled a dumbfuck if you are a dumbfuckSarvis said:You get labled a dumbfuck if your opinions don't march in lockstep with the rest of the Codex.
well you are a dumbfuck if you piss of the site designer(am i the only one who realizes that without sol we wouldnt be posting here?)Quigs said:I got mine for pissing off rex.
That, and being a dumbfuck.

According to the words down at the bottom, we'd still post here, but it wouldn't look as nice. It'd probably look quite awful. But we would probably have gotten used to it.MINIGUNWIELDER said:well you are a dumbfuck if you piss of the site designer(am i the only one who realizes that without sol we wouldnt be posting here?)
I suspect there may be a little bit more to it than that. :wink:Sarvis said:You get labled a dumbfuck if your opinions don't march in lockstep with the rest of the Codex.
I can't think of any off-hand.Are there any dumbfucks around who can show that they received their badge despite being popular with the other posters?

I can't think of any off-hand.
But this thing about dumbfuckery is interesting. I can honestly say that, for me, none of the most infuriatingly thick and annoying people on this board have the dumbfuck title. Some people who exist on this board purely to act thoroughly dumb and annoying , who surely deserve the title in spades, just do not, for some very odd reason, get stuck with the label.
So I'm not entirely certain it is about being dumb, but more about having an unpopular take on certain subject matter and sticking to it against all "reason" (those quote marks are quite purposeful).
Or just being argumentative for the sake of it. But then people claim that is one of the good things about this forum, that you can do so (i.e. be argumentative) without being censured.
*Ahem*
So...like I say, it is a very interesting thing...
[Then again, it took ages for Volly to get his, and that was merely for being a dick and after years of being pointlessly argumentative too. So I don't think there is much consistency in the way they are handed out...]

That's what I said.
That is correct.There's a difference between being argumentative and being pointlessly argumentative.

Sometimes it gets hard to tell the difference though. You do have a habit of continuing on until no-one knows what theyre arguing about anymore

No, my arguing has a point.
