So far we have:

Steve would never allow this!
It is not iPhone 5, it is iPhone X ( or something along those lines, at least while the rumours are going on )
Slow news today
Shut up and take my money
Double down on secrecy

You can add "first world problems" as far as I'm concerned as that's just a really annoying cliche that adds nothing to any debate.

You could probably add "MacRumors stole my news article" to the list :P

Shut up and take my +1.
The mods would never allow this!

/waits for an infraction....

On topic: all of the above have gotten old fast.

I'm not the reporter type, but saw recently a lot of posts in the rMBP section I find quite bothering and pointless:

OP says: "I dropped x, what can I do?"
And then there comes a plethora of smart posters telling him/her to be more careful the next time or that s/he shouldn't have dropped the item in the first place. And just this one-liner, nothing else. I think that's an even greater nuisance than all these 'Steve would have....' comments, as the OP has already enough personal trouble and doesn't need some smarta$$ to tell her/him what s/he knows already.

What do you think?

If it's only a one-liner with no real help offered, you can report them. Frivolous posts are something we weed out.

MR forums has gone to hell since I joined in 2009. In the beginning, everyone was nice, cordial, and helpful. Now you mostly get rudeness. I never surf MR that much anymore. I jump in, look for an answer to my question/problem, then leave.

Proof of this will be the obligatory PM or post here telling me to leave if I don't like it.

Don't forget these:

"How is this news?" - in response to something someone might deem non-newsworthy.

"This is front page worthy?"

or like you said:

"I submited this article to MacRumors. Where's my gold star and credit? Waaahhhhhhh"

"How much did they pay to get MacRumors to write this?"

It was stupid then and is even dumber now. I dislike that post more than any other on the site.
