The only problem I have with the TP system, are all the posts that involve quoting a post and then mentioning that you're going to TP it. Then the person comes right back "Hey TP right back at you" then some other guy comes and says "Hey, I want to get into the TP bandwagon, I'll TP you also"... then when it's all said and done, you have like 5 posts in a row with simply saying "Here's a TP" types of posts. I don't know, it feels distracting and it kinda derails some of the discussions.

I'm guilty of it myself sometimes, but it simply seems inappropite to me. I like the idea of some anonymity for these types of things, but since the system doesn't allow to figure out what posts you're getting TP'ed for, then I guess it's somewhat understandable. But in the end, you see the same circle of people thread after thread just quoting each other just to TP each other. It annoys the heck out of me some times.
