Seriously, I'll be posting tomorrow and you'll have no real way to pin that flag to me (since my ID will be different). How in the hell is that supposed to be "attention-seeking"?
A poster makes a joke which featured, as its premise, the implication that he is, for the purposes of that joke, a Klingon. It is therefore only appropriate, for that post, that he use a Klingon flag, as part of the joke. Just let people enjoy things, for crying out loud.
Or don't. Continue being the biggest spergs on the sperg board, and we'll all be able to personally identify you by your consistent bitching about people using something the way it was designed to be used, and you'll have no idea which of the many people you're bitching at will be the ones you've accused of trying to identify themselves, thereby creating an identify of sorts for yourself and rendering your self-righteous indignation transparently hypocritical.
TL;DR - Just pull the stick out of your ass and have fun, and let other people do the same. This is a board where people discuss shows about spaceships and aliens. If they want to put on a digital alien mask for a few minutes to crack a joke, just enjoy it.
