To think 'place marking' is pretty vulgar

[Bearbehind]

Why do people think it is acceptable to shamelessly post on a thread to say nothing more than they are marking their place?

If they are that interested in the topic, surely they can make a comment that is relevant and still marks their place.

What about on a fast moving thread like the yoni one where the are pages to go through every time you refresh?

Easier said than done if on a mobile or app.

I know what vulgar means thanks though

I think you need to get a grip because you are ascribing stringent moral values to the Internet.

You are also doing this entirely on your own terms. You have decided that place marking is vulgar. Why do you get to police other users manners?

That is why you got a spluttering response from me OP.

Marks place.

I only ever see people mark places on humorous, non-serious threads, or controversial threads that are about an issue (rather than a person iyswim). The ones with serious, personal questions or problems don't get this -most people do have some tact. So I think yabu :)

Just to annoy you

sanity how do you bookmark a thread on the mobile site?

It's leftover from those of us who have been here since before bookmarking and watching and it was all fields around here.

You don't own MN. You don't get to dictate what we can and can't post.

::hands OP a grip::

Tiggy

Down with this sort of thing!

hully I didn't say it was 'discusting' or 'disgusting' for that matter or 'sick' just vulgar and pointless.

How do you bookmark?

Yes barebehind but I think it is discusting myself

it's something that really really gets my goat and on my wick

Everyone rubbernecks on the internet.

liitlebearpad your bookmark is fine- at least it doesn't need reading and I am jealous as I don't know how to do that.

TBH full stops or [biscuits] don't bother me as much as words which need reading before you move on!

Vulgar vulgar vulgar. Can't remember who said that. It might have been something to do with Sarah Feguson.

Is a bear bum a bit like a cats bum?

Do completely irrelevant comments wind you up too, or is it just place marking? (Genuine question btw)

Nothing wrong if people "lurk" on a thread without posting - that's par for the course on the internet.

It's a bit of an annoying waste of time to read "marking my place" posts though. They don't add anything.

Bugger, it appears I can't even book mark properly! I meant

Gets your goat Hully?

You want to take better care of that goat, stop it running off like.

Nothing like a cats bum 'frustrated' but genuinely- irrelevant comments due to posters not reading anything other than the OP do wind me up though.

I think I maybe need to take a chill pill or spend less time on the Internet

So the real problem is that it takes you too long to read:

marking place

?

Loads of threads about place marking.

Can't get my head around why it annoys people so much.

But, Vulgar?

Could one say a whole thread about place marking is therefore....

obscene?

Kind of tee if people didn't fill threads with bookmarks then there would be less posts so it would be easier to find your place- no?
