People who don't RTFT

[HotpotLawyer]

Why keep threads running fruitlessly long after the issue is resolved, taking up space in Active Convos and keeping newer live threads out?

Why enter a conversation days after it began and imagine you can just pop in and add something new or relevant without checking? Do you do this in RL?

How is it 'thread police' when people point it out? All you have to do is check the length of the thread and the date it was started, and at the very least check the posts by the OP.

Basic internet forum etiquette, surely?

And will save you from looking a bit of a twat.

I know! At least read the first few comments and the last page before deciding if you have anything of value to add

Everyone is too busy advising the house buyer with the vendor who stayed put* to notice this thread

• Until a couple of days ago, that is.

I know, it drives me nuts.

AIBU to think having a baby is the hardest thing anyone can ever do?

Have you tried co-sleeping?

Another resolved thread is currently raging....

People do feel strongly about it as I have just seen a post calling people morons for not RTFT.

I wish MNHQ would put it in talk guidelines as god etiquette.

‘Good’ obv, not god.
