Okay, so why would someone wear an eyepatch without needing one?

As someone who has grown up in a historical port town, with several famous sailing ships having called it home, the answer is both preventative and protective.

If you're on a sailing ship for weeks or months at a time, with no easy access to medical care, accidents could happen. And if you're on a sailing ship, one of the biggest dangers would have been splintering wood (accidents or explosions, which happened more often than you might think on a sailing ship - think grain silo explosions). So what a lot of sailors used to do was protect their dominant eye by wearing a eyepatch. Why? Well if a sailor is unfortunate to get blinded while out at sea, he'd be useless to work and a drain on the crew. So most of them wore a patch to give themselves some measure of protection.
It was also used as a form of night vision believe it or not, the eye under the patch being in darkness all day meant that if they wanted to see something at night they would just flip the patch up and et voila, little to no adjustment time.

One of my favorite NPC's in my D&D games is a Halfling called "Lana", suffice to say seeing that name brought a smile to my face... learning this game's Lana also was a raving alcoholic who lives solely to confuse and bedazzle the player was thoroughly amusing XD

please stop spamming
The hell are you talking about?

I read comments, I reply.

Simple!

Unless there's a hidden rule that one should should only make one post and then wait 24 hours to make another.

My man is farming posts to grind that sweet, sweet F95 reputation and level up.

Ha, couldn't give more of a shit about that.

I could delete my account, make another one and still do the same thing I'm doing BECAUSE I like being social, I like talking to others, make them laugh, etc.

But it seems being social is a BIG nono for some of you peeps out there, which is a real shame.

No, but you can multi quote posts and keep them in one post. Even a copy and paste works.
I kinda forgot I could do that.
But then, unlike what you did (which was helpful btw), there's someone saying I'm farming posts for reputation (as if that matters to me).

I just like being social.

The problem is not about having a lot to say, or about being social.
It's about making multiple posts in a row, or "spamming" the thread.

It's not hidden. Check out forum rules. This is a breach of No. 4: No spamming.
There's an edit function, so you can edit your 1st post and add the 2nd & 3rd to it, condensing 3 posts into 1. (y)

You did what the forum rules call an spam and he called it what it is.
Maybe stop being a drama queen and accept your mistakes.

I whish everybody was helpful as you and Evil13 were instead of just being hostile.
I made an oopsie, am I going to hell for that?

Well sorry my liege, for i have sinned against god or something.
sheesh.

I make a mistake and people rain down on me (not all) for being a rep farmer and drama queen.
How would you feel about being accused of something you're not guilty of?
Should I just sit down take it like a man and shut up, is that it?

My pleasure mate.
"Give a man a fish/teach a man to fish..." & all that. (y)

Mistake made. Lesson learned.
I think the accusations and justifications can end now.
Just leave it be, it's all good.

But you ARE guilty as what you did IS considered spam as per the site's rules. But then you blast at the dude telling you.
Its okay to do mistakes but shouldn't act like the dude was smearing you and then throwing a fit.
We should stop before mods delete our posts for being off topic.
