Can we get a "didn't read the thread" square?

Oh! Oh!

We need a "misleading title/headline" square for all of the clickbait outrage.

"Mantic; Almost"

Maybe a seasonal update

Well, there is the occasional spam, but I don't see kitchen supplies, mostly drugs. Glorious drugs.

Maybe we can remove "Blame The Victim"?

There are several squares I just can't see ever being removed, so close are they Dakka's history. BTV! Is one of them, as is CRASSUS ARMOURED ATTACK TRANSPORT; Litko Industrial Towers & Space Corridors; Fascist Mods; Baned; and quite possibly our One True Lord and Savior, Mat Ward.

The shackles of history cannot be cast off so easily, and the scars they cut as we raged against them must remain to show future generations, so that they might learn and grow and never again BLAMETHEVICTIMBLAMETHEVICTIMBLAMETHEVICTIMBLAMETHEVICTIMBLAMETHEVICTIMBLAMETHEVICTIMBLAMETHEVICTIMBLAMETHEVICTIMBLAMETHEVICTIMBLAMETHEVICTIMBLAMETHEVICTIM!!!!!!!

Definitely a classic that cannot go. Still a hoot to revisit that old post, the sheer absurdity of that poster was amazing to behold.

I can think of quite a few things that come up a lot:

"Infinity evangelism"
"How do I yellow?"
"Stolen Valor"
"Who would win?"
"Corbyn" (this one really needs a commie flag, or a mushroom cloud)

3D Printing

I think 3d printing is going to become more popular as the prices drop into the range where everyone will have them.

"Guns" should go, it is too generic, it's pretty much a free space. Maybe just exchange it for "it's to protect me from my government" or "more guns makes of safer"

Or maybe "common sense gun reform" as well as "have a national conversation".

Ehh... I think it should stay, but perhaps a "rule" added to the dakka bingo.... By this, I mean of course that in a thread such as "Show your gunz" or "I'm looking to buy a new gun" the bingo "gun" square cannot be used, as it is the actual topic. However in a topic such as "are kittens the best form of household pet?" that square would be fair game.

Can probably replace it with "Indian Spam Bots" because we still get spam bots, just not the kitchen one anymore.

Should we put "Tactical_Spam" up there too? I've heard its quite the issue

I'll throw a vote for "Tau Thread becomes quote-fest"

Silly infidel spanker, duh. Trump with a hitler stash would be pretty keen right about now.

Weird, spanker is replaced with spanker by the dakka imperium

Edit: that only makes sense if the s on spanker is replaced with a w. Is that some sort of horrendous slur in some part of the the world?

No, but it's generally considered to be rather less than polite and perhaps a little beyond the realms of acceptable, considering that many innocent and as yet untainted youngsters frolic through the forum on a daily basis.

Also bear in mind your edit could be construed as trying to dodge the language filter. I think most of us know what you meant anyway, and those who don't probably aren't clued up on what the word it replaced means, either.

Correct.

Or we could go with the classic GJW, though it may be a bit niche.

"Nuke the Middle-East" pops up with alarming frequency.

Try pretty much every thread about the Middle-East.

This is like saying we should remove one of the wheels on this train. It still needs it because it looks more complete with it. It's not going to help or hinder the resulting derailment and train wreck we'll get anyway.

GWJW? (Games Workshop Justice Warrior) For the threads that pop up about how tired they are about the complaining so have to complain about it too.

That's "Glass-em-all"

Not "Exterminatus" ? You disappoint me.

If you don't think Zimmerman comes up enough, you could pair his square up with Martin Skrelli and call it the Villain square.

There are a lot of different squares, and each card is created randomly when you click the link. So there are some squares that don't happen all that often, but in the end it still works out because the rare square may not show up on a card for quite a while. Bingo is a fun game, but it's not an auto-win.

Should we add a painting challenge square?

I think a "these blurry/out of focus leaked pics of GW kits look crap the sky is falling!" box, followed by a "Actually seeing the official pictures of the GW website makes them much better".

I'm sure somebody can make it more concise.
