Posters Who Don't Read Thread First!

Why don't some posters read the thread before posting? I have just scrolled through pages of repetitive posts suggesting a course of action which the Op had already tried. At least read the last page before posting and don't just jump in with a gut reaction to the original post. I am sure some Ops must lose the will to live!

I honestly think you should have gone for the green one!

TheLovelinessOfDemons · 20/04/2020 19:25

I might have been guilty of this. Blush

I do read the thread. But sometimes if it goes on for pages I can't remember the details by the time I get to the bottom and I can't be bothered to go back and look.

I've accidentally done this thanks to the app as it doesn't always load all the posts. I do always try to read at least all the updates from the OP but it's also easy to miss a post if they've namechanged.

Other than that, no excuses. Grin

same can be said for posters who don't proof read the title of their thread before posting .......

If a thread is too long, no. I will scroll and look for green posts but the rest? No. It's ridiculous to expect that. 🙄

If a thread is already too long/not sufficiently interesting to RTFT when I first see it, then usually I won't bother with it.

STAYTHEFUCKHOME · 20/04/2020 19:43

Use the poo knife.

Alleycat1 · 20/04/2020 19:46

penisbeakers, ErrolTheDragon Ok, but the very least posters could do is to read the Ops posts then it will be obvious what has/hasn't already been suggested.

OP posts:
YeahWhatevver · 20/04/2020 19:46

Is there a way, to, just show the OPs posts.

That would be great.

YeahWhatevver · 20/04/2020 19:47

👆Jesus, ignore the commas, I'm on a phone and have fat fingers!

Sennetti · 20/04/2020 19:48

@Alleycat1 thievery least YOU could do is get your own title right!! Not heard of proof reading?

vodkaredbullgirl · 20/04/2020 19:52

Alleycat1 · 20/04/2020 19:54

Welcome to internet forums @Alleycat1

Sennetti · 20/04/2020 19:54

i'm not the one starting a thread telling posters what to do/not to do...

Alleycat1 · 20/04/2020 19:59

Sennetti What is wrong with the thread title?

OP posts:
Carbosug · 20/04/2020 20:00

What on earth is wrong with you @Sennetti. Can you actually hear yourself?

YeahWhatevver · 20/04/2020 20:09

Hahaha "thievery". Amazing proof reading Sennetti you sanctimonious twat!

Nameisthegame · 20/04/2020 20:21

@Alleycat1 I didn’t read all your post but I disagree you need to read all of the ops posts before posting advice. Jk
