A novelty account? On Hubski? Uh oh.

Is it a bad idea? I created it. Wasn't trying to be anonymous or clever, just doing some ad hoc tagging of comments.

I was trying to be amusing more than anything. The fact that there is one novelty account on hubski doesn't necessarily mean we will descend to the depths that reddit has. I personally don't mind novelty accounts for the most part but not having to see "awildsketchappears" and "checksforgwposts" has grown on me.

I think the level of grammar on hubski is such that the grammar_nazi isn't necessary. It also seems like a way that might lead to a reddit-like experience, which I for one, am not looking for out of this community.

Can you fill in the blanks between:

   1. Create themed account
   2. ...
   3. Reddit!

?

Reddit-like experience. Not reddit. Reddit is full of novelty accounts and grammar nazis. The point is, why bother pointing out grammar mistakes? "Here, here" instead of "hear, hear" can be annoying, but why not just point out the mistake if it bothers you?
