RTFT!

There are at least 2 threads in Active at the moment where the OP is getting harsh, rude and unnecessary comments from posters who have not RTFT.

It is bad enough with posters who can’t be arsed to note that a thread is days old but think they can barge in at the end without reading anything, add some original wisdom and thereby bump a long ‘cancelled cheque ‘ thread back into active convos. But fragile , upset posters being hounded by these ignorant clowns?

Could MNHQ put it in the MN guidelines / etiquette?

Are OP posts highlighted by default?

Could threads be removed from Discussion of the Day once resolved?

It is making MN a frustrating read, sometimes.

Hi OP. Thanks for raising this. We agree it's really frustrating when folk wander onto a thread and post without reading it first!

We find that these sorts of posts come under the 'not in the spirit' umbrella and are deleted accordingly.

If there are any posts which you feel break Talk Guidelines, please do report them directly to us and we'll be happy to take a look.

We'll raise your other points here at MNHQ.

Thanks again.

Just to clarify, HotpotLawyer - what we mean is that if someone posts insensitively on a thread, having clearly not read the entire thing - and that post is then reported to us, we may well judge it to be 'not in the spirit' and therefore breaking Talk Guidelines. Posts in that vein would be deleted.

That said, we do feel though that most MNers post in good faith, taking care to read threads before posting.

As ever, if you spot any posts that you feel are breaking TGs, report them to us and we'll be happy to take a look.

Hi 53rdWay, we'll definitely raise this (can't make any promises) as we do know it's something many users would find helpful.
