You may play however you like, but the fact is that twinks in the battlegrounds often "greet" each other with insulting gestures. It's just like the trash talk that takes place in all professional sports. I created this addon because I wanted to give it back whenever I got it, but I wasn't fast enough typing to get the emote off in time. I also discovered in testing this addon that you can use it strategically to encourage certain players to focus on you instead of your team. If you're a twink this is good for you and your team. The addon is neither "unsportsman-like" or "adolescent". I would contend that your condescension in your post is "unsportsman-like" and "adolescent" -- as in the sport of addon construction I have as much right to create as anyone, and it is quite childish to be berated because you don't like the concept. Tell me about the functionality of the addon or browse on somewhere else. Thanks.

P.S. - I offered several names to those who tested my addon, and they all insisted I go with ShitList. Really there is no better name for such an addon. And since we're apparently concerned with being too much like an adolescent, I vote we stick to the grown-up words...;-P

Fair enough, Rigorous. You're certainly entitled to your opinion. I still disagree with the implication that such an addon is immature. I am not an immature person and have not been 14 for a very long time, and I enjoy using this addon. However, I do use it in moderation, as I don't want to come off as a complete jerk auto-emoting every other person I kill. For example, I only use it on players that are about my skill level so they kill me about as much as I kill them. That way I'm sure we both get a kick out of the emotes (as they emote me, too) and I'm not just angering the other player. But anyway...

Thanks for your comments.

My apologies. I rewrote the description with the unintended assumption that people had read the previous description I replaced with it. I will correct this after I respond here.

The short version of what this addon does is that it automatically issues a negative emote when you kill a target. So if you kill person "x" in "asshole mode" or when "x" is on the list it will do something like /laugh, /spit, /gloat, etc.--all depending on how you have it set up. Also, "asshole mode" emotes everything you kill, man or beast.

Thank you for your comment!

Your post is a bit confusing. I'm not sure if you object to the auto-emote concept or the name of the addon. I'll respond to both...

First, the name is not a basic swear word. It is a common term. It is even in the dictionary--at least the dictionary.com one. Furthermore, I challenge you to come up with a synonym for it--any at all. Hit list? No. The fact is that my name, "ShitList", is very apt for my addon--as much as "Auctioneer" is for that addon. I'm keeping a list of people to be ridiculed and insulted upon death.

Second, if you object to the concept of auto-emoting as some people are, then I say simply that you shouldn't use my addon. But I know a lot of people use it and enjoy it very much--myself included. Furthermore, I'm using emotes that are built into the game. Blizzard put them there for a reason, and I don't think it was to simply take up extra space on your hard disk and RAM. Against whom is it more appropriate to /gloat, for instance, than the opposing faction in the battlegrounds? If ever there is a use Blizzard intended for that emote, it is there.

And I guarantee I spend at least as much time as you in BGs. Perhaps it is just my server, but emotes are extremely common. I see everything from /kiss to /fart. But, if you are right and they're not wanted in BG, then I suppose my addon won't reach a very wide audience. And perhaps it won't. That remains to be seen.

Finally, thank you for your comment, and I will modify the description. I replaced the other one with it and unintentionally left out some information I intended to keep.

I apologize if I acted inappropriately. I'm quite new to wowinterface.com and am unfamiliar with the proper channels. Hopefully I won't have too many addons that upset people so! But, if I do have another, I'll keep in mind what you said.

Thank you.
