One Post W*nkers

[MrsDoctorDear]

So irritated lately by people who start a thread with one post then piss off and never come back.

What's the solution?

Hi OP

Thanks for getting in touch - we get that this can be frustrating.

That being said, it doesn't break our talk guidelines - people may not want to come back to the thread for many reasons and we're not in the business of forcing people or pestering for updates. It's best not to get too invested for this reason.

That being said, if you have concerns about whether a post is inflammatory, we can take a look behind the scenes to check the intentions. Just report it to us using the report button.

Thanks Lily, just winds me up a bit when lots of people post advice and the OP doesn't bother to respond.

There’s no ‘solution’ because there’s no problem. No one is obliged to post.

Yes, ‘ploppers’ can be very irritating

The solution is to press "see all" after the first post and if they've not come back don't bother. Only works if thread is long.

You can also use the word wankers on here

One thing that might help limit this is if new posters had to post a certain number of replies to posts, before they could create their own threads.
In effect validate the poster’s interest.

We need to add OPW to the acronym list
