tl;dr

[Gilly]

Following a spate of this I'm now issuing a statement.

I'm going to start banning folk for posting nothing more than this in threads

That is all.

 

[Gilly]

I agree with this. If you can't be bothered why have any form of input.

Exactly.

 

[Gilly]

Stop it. This is a serious thread.

 

[Gilly]

Is this as serious as the Killa_Ken thread....?

I know not of which thread you speak.

No, it's nothing like that. I will actually ban people for this

 

[Gilly]

then that's fine, its up to the poster to still carry on with longs posts, but it still would be useful to know the amount of people who had not read a post because they thought it was too long.

what if 9 out of 10 people who posted in a thread alerted the poster that it was too long to read, would it be wise to still continue the same way? the same for a journalist working for a newspaper, would it be wise for him to still carry on writing his articles the way he sees fit, regardless of nationwide criticism.?

I can't work out whether you're being facetious or not, but my response would be to use the back button and ignore the thread completely if you can't be bothered reading the OP. That way, if everyone does this, the thread will fall off the first page and the OP will realise this the more threads they create that people aren't interested in or don't reply to.

Posting tl;dr has no benefit whatsoever.

:/

 

[Gilly]

Nope, just gonna ban people.

 

[Gilly]

Freedom of speech well type.

Eh?

 

[Gilly]

Neither of which are applicable here

 

[Gilly]

What do you mean with ''nothing more'' ? I mean I often don't read the whole thread but post because I want to reply to a single post of one person.

I mean simply responding with:

tl;dr

 

[Gilly]

There is no free speech here.
