To find it annoying users write F on a thread instead of clicking on watch this thread

First AIBU.

Recently on threads I've seen users commenting F. I find this annoying. It takes up space on the thread, and it is not helpful. If you want to follow a thread, why not just click "watch this thread".

YABU: It shouldn't bother you that someone types F. Mind your own business.

YANBU: I agree with you. Someone typing F is a waste of thread space.

I've never seen this!

WeepySheepy · 06/10/2021 16:35

F

Don't really see F on here, it's more a Facebook thing

It's annoying, just as it's annoying on Facebook.

It's also annoying when an OP doesn't click the Enable Voting, and expects you to type YABU or YANBU instead of just clicking on it. Wink

I agree that I am increasingly seeing this. It feels so dismissive of an OP seeking advice, and screams ‘I am just here for the drama’.

I am on my laptop. Is voting an app thing or can you do it on a computer as well?

Ugh. So annoying. See it all the time.

And those who simply type '.'

There is both a 'watch this thread' AND a 'bookmark' so absolutely no need to do this.

It adds nothing to the thread and if its about someone's real life rather than a 'list' type thread then I think it's entirely inappropriate.

I'll climb down off my soap box now and finish my tea Grin

It definitely happens here too, together with peacemaking or pmk

I don't like it either and on sensitive threads it's just plain rude

Particularly unoriginal is replying F to this thread Grin
