List of how Not to start a thread on CPF

Candle Power Flashlight Forum

Help Support CPF:

"I need information on _______" but I'm going to disagree with all the answers because they do not conform to my reality Some folks will ask for information or opinions and then disagree about the responses they get. I think some folks could ask about water and then argue that rain isn't wet. Maybe they think that it will change the laws of physics if they can keep it up until they get the response they want. Kind of like how my then 7 year old stepson used to argue that the math book had to be wrong because it didn't match his answer.

"I know this is a forum with family values..." but I'm going to show you (and everyone else on the web) what my family thinks is OK... I am not a prude and will defend everyone's free speech just as much as my own but if you wouldn't want it in front of your kids or your Granny, leave it out of here, please.

My two personal favorites:

- "How does (Fill in the blank) compare to Surefire?"
Sometimes a question posted out of genuine curiosity by someone who recently signed up to CPF, and has noticed the generally high regard that Surefire lights enjoy on CPF... And other times it's just a trolling topic. The result is usually the same. Thread degenerates into yet another Surefire vs. (Fill in the blank) topic.

Whenever these threads appear, the topic always goes from good to bad, from handshakes to food fights...often regarding whats between US and China. Even if its just seawater 😗

it often reminds me of something like this

"Where can I get a pack of AAs?"

"How many drops from 50 ft does it take to destroy a [Brand Name] flashlight?"

"My friend took my flashlight and won't give it back, what should I do?"

"How many flashlights do you have that can fall from a plane, hit the ground, and still work?"

"My first account got banned, how do I get it back?"

Why do LED lights suck? Maybe you should try buying them from places other than your local dollar store.

Why do incan lights suck? Same answer as above.

How many volts does an LED need? They're current based devices, not voltage-based, and this question must have been asked about 1000 times already.

I'll give you a ring and let you know when I get my super duper cell phone from Japan that turns into a robot that cooks my food and wipes my arse. All for 100 yen.. of course 😛

:help: I need a fauxton light, 20 for $5.00 is too expensive, any cheaper alternative? Must be reliable though, I'm relying my life on it.

😱 Oh no, I loose my favorite fauxton, and now I only have 19 left
 
"I loose my flashlight, I want a REFUND!"



Btw that Indiana Jones Flashlight thread is probably the funniest one I've

seen on CPF. :thumbsup:

Anyways, back to the topic:

"Where's the loose and found section on CPF"
 
I would like justification that my overpriced 3xAAA direct drive light with a runtime that rewrites the laws of the universe is indeed the BEST FLASHLIGHT EVER!!
 
Posted as new thread in LED Flashlights Forum:

"Has anyone had experience with this light, and is it any good? ADVERTISING LINK"

Some Chinese manufacturer will read this thread and make a 2.9" long 6" diameter showerhead light with 60 AAAs (3s40p) DDing 300 LEDs and sell it for $29.87.

Then someone will buy it and post a thread about it!

dude it'll be 120 aaa's...
 
"OK, why doesn't this "bleeping" flashlight work properly?"

"Why can't all flashlight be Titanium?"

"What's the best LED?"

"Knock Knock"

"If you could only have 1 light under $10, what would it be?"

"Why is this forum called CandlePower, if we all use flashlights?"
 
In all honesty, is there any difference between Possible Jeers, Reluctant Jeers and Jeers when it's actually posted in the Jeers section? :shrug:
 
Why did the batteries leak in the flashlight that I left in the car since purchased when the car was new (-- and it's an Edsel -- the actual car that is, not talking about the light)? I thought they were guaranteed. Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! :banghead:

Why can't I find a 100+ lumen Solitaire? My cousin said he saw one somewhere. Didn't I just see one at Home Depot? Oh, yeah. Right next to the "My Little Princess" 6D Rebel Mag LED's.

I need more run time for my Wee Ti. Where can I find pocket sized SLA batteries? In the same aisle as the 100+ lumen Solitaire

I tried this before but I can't remember what happened. Can I carry spare .22 rounds in the same pocket as my spare batteries? No. You also don't remember why they used to say "Kids, DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!!," do ya? And I bet you are going to try it anyway, no matter what anyone tries to tell you, aren't you? BANG! POP! Yep, thought so.

Whear kint I by a laser to burn the papers ont he teachers desk? I think skool are stoopid.

OMGZ CPF IS LK 2COOL GONNA TELL ALL MY BFF'S 2 LK HNG OUT HR LK 4EVR OK? OMG Why me, why? What have I done??
