Chain Letters (And why they're completely pointless) - General Discussion

C:\WINDOWS>

Hello, everyone.

If you don't know, chain mail is a load of crap that most 7 year old children fall for on the internet, and end up re-posting on 20 other videos.

You probably do know, if you clicked here.

Mainly, this thread is where you can express your annoyances and grief about chain mail. Share a screenshot or two.

I'll get this one started.

This is pretty stupid:

I really wish chain-mail would stop. How about you?

Although this may not technically be 'Chain Mail' the idea is still as stupid and annoying when using Facebook...

YES I DO, and yes, it is stupid! If anyone posts one of those on any of my videos, I just delete it on sight.

I was looking on my old PC, and I found this pile of garbage:

Subject: Death By Bloody Mary

THIS EMAIL HAS BEEN CURSED ONCE OPENED YOU MUST SEND IT.

You are now cursed. You must send this on or you will be killed. Tonight at 12:00am, by Bloody Mary. This is no joke. So don't think you can quickly get out of it and delete it now because Bloody Mary will come to you if you do not send this on. She will slit your throat and your wrists and pull your eyeballs out with a fork. And then hang your dead corpse in your bedroom cupboard or put you under your bed. What's your parents going to do when they find you dead? Won't be funny then, will it? Don't think this is a fake and it's all put on to scare you because your wrong, so very wrong. Want to hear of some of the sad, sad people who lost their lives or have been seriously hurt by this email?

CASE ONE -
Annalise [Surname Removed] :She got this email. Rubbish she thought. She deleted it. And now, Annalise dead.

CASE TWO -
Louise [Surname Removed]: She sent this to only 4 people and when she woke up in the morning her wrists had deep lacerations on each. Luckily there was no pain felt, though she is scarred for life.

CASE THREE -
Thomas [Surname Removed]: He sent this to 5 people. Big mistake. The night Thomas was lying in his bed watching T.V. The clock shows '12:01am'. The T.V misteriously flickered off and Thomas's bedroom lamp flashed on and off several times. It went pitch black, Thomas looked to the left of him and there she was, Bloody Mary standing in white rags. Blood everywhere with a knife in her hand then disappeared. The biggest fright of Thomas's life.

Warning... NEVER look in a mirror and repeat -'Bloody Mary.Bloody Mary.' Bloody Mary... I KILLED YOUR SON' Is it the end for you tonight! YOU ARE NOW CURSED

We strongly advise you to send this email on. It is seriously NO JOKE. We don't want to see another life wasted. ITS YOUR CHOICE... WANNA DIE TONIGHT? If you send this email to...

NO PEOPLE - You're going to die.

1-5 PEOPLE - You're going to either get hurt or get the biggest fright of your life.

5-15 PEOPLE - You will bring your family bad luck and someone close to you will die.

15 -25 OR MORE PEOPLE - You are safe from Bloody Mary

** DO NOT FORWARD COPY AND PASTE. RENAME THE SUBJECT

People really put all the effort into typing this garbage? They're either fucking loony, or they're two kids sitting on their mom's bed, sharing a twinkie, typing this bullshit in, giggling.

Hell, I'll run downstairs to my basement, look at the mirror, and repeat bloody mary. Nothing will happen.

However, if something does, tell my non-existant children I ate their halloween candy.

I thought this was gonna be a thread about the impracticalities of medieval armor.

I'm sort of disappointed.

Chain letters are so fake, I read one like a week ago that said if I didn't post it in 10 other videos I was gonna die in a week, and look I'm still h

shirt status: not on

It never goes away, ever. I swear, I used to get like 30 chain letters a week when I created my first e-mail account, and that was like 5-6 years ago. Now, you can't read YouTube or Facebook comments without coming across them.

Also, I found this to be funny:

Why does it say 15-25+ people? Wouldn't it suffice to just say 15+ people? Furthermore, what about the person that gets exactly 15 people? Are they safe or do they get familial bad luck?

I don't know why, but it's fun to see just how little logic goes into these chain letters, because clearly anyone with even just a tiny bit of common sense wouldn't send/post these.

Man, back when Myspace was a thing I used to get 20 of these a day. Being nine years old, I actually thought they were real and kept passing them on (this one stands out in my mind for some reason). I honestly haven't seen one of these in years, but maybe that's because I don't give my e-mail address to idiots.

You've been visited by the Spooky Skeleton! Repost this in 10 seconds or you will be visited by a Spooky Skeleton tonight! 95% of people will not post this..... and they will become skeleton....

I too was expecting this, lol.

Anyway, I've seen examples of this on YouTube before (not as much now), and I do agree that it's quite annoying. It's just...they actually expect people to really re-post it and keep the chain going? Seriously?

And I do agree, it's a bit of a cruel trick, especially since younger kids are more likely to fall for it just by way of fear and not knowing any better...

I'm probably retired tbh

I've seen a lot of chain comments on YT, and I totally died when I didn't share it.

Wow. Havn't seen chain mail in a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time. Brings back the memories of them stupid people.

I have nothing of interest to put here.

Back in the late 90s during the heyday of AOL, I used to get quite a few chain letter emails. I remember two specifically. One was something from a supposed bank expressing their desire to give kids something fun to do over the summer, so they said if I sent the letter to X amount of people, I'd receive a few hundred dollars. Another letter was something along the lines "if you send this to X amount of people, someone will fall in love with you." Of course, naive lil' Golden Yoshi forwarded the emails. Needless to say, I never got any money nor a lover.

These are so fake it would take several persons to make the source. I've seen them almost everywhere and did not care to them, because nothing will happen to me anyway.

Chain mail is stupid. I "smash" chain letters over at my blog and each chain mail has a dumb part like the one MoosieGames showed, which is about some person that doesn't exist that wants to kill everyone.

I used to forward some of them, but once I realized how dumb it was to forward them, I stopped and started smashing them, pointing out how dumb each is. It"s cool to see how many people here hate them as well.

EDIT: And, since I didn't answer your question, yes, I wish all chain mail would end. $#ab{>_<}$

It's barely finished, but check out my game, Magical Mary!

You can change the thread title yourself, since you created it.

When I was a kid I got kinda fear of one for six days.

Nah, I don't get annoyed, I just ignore them/laugh at how stupid people are for sharing them.
