Mac users are lazy and there's no free rides!
OK, on Neopets, there's a special toolbar you can download that'll tell you, among other things, when a special prize is being given out. People in Neopian_Adults who have the toolbar often give an alert to the people who don't have it, followed by the link to the giveaway page, since you can't access it from the main site.
Box_of_sorrows, however, posted an alert without a link, and people explode. Mostly Box_of_sorrows him/herself.
The original post is gone, but here's what BoS posted by way of a reply (emphasis theirs):
"Sorry for not including a link, all you had to do was click the "alert" button on your toolbar, is it that complicated? I made the post in a hurry for YOUR benefit as I had seen the alert and was heading out somewhere but wanted to do my part here....
Whoever deleted the post, mods? thanks, it saved more whiney LJ emails arriving...
*edit*
Just as a quick footnote to the people who moaned, the rules here that apply are:
5) Please be kind and respect your fellow members. After all, we are all adults here, let's try to act it. So we'll lay down the golden rule: 'If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all'.
6) No begging posts, asking for donations. We all started off with nothing, and do the hard work to earn the points ourselves. No free rides in this community."
When people point out that not everyone wants the toolbar, BoS replies with Seems a bit suck not to want (okay or be able) to install the toolbar, but still want the rewards from it. Bit like saying there's nothing in your bank account but you'd still like to earn some interest ;-)
And when a Mac user pips up saying that he can't install the toolbar, Seems a bit of a cheap excuse to want the link when you've not installed the software.
And of course there's eventual macros.
