Seriously though I generally read the whole thread get depressed by tl's perspective on the topic and close the thread a good portion of my life wasted. This is why I try to remember to minimize general. Today I have failed severely. | ||

having a high postcount is easy to achieve, just copy the link in my signature and paste it into your browser's address bar, then press enter. You have now arrived in paradise. | ||

What the average TLer is and what they hope they are are two completely different things. i pretty much completely agree with this. I often try to read whole OPs and articles etc before i post, but i don't really post a whole ton, so i just spend a lot of my work day just lurking online and checking out threads without actually contributing a whole ton. | ||

Btw if u want to raise your "post count" just go to a LR thread and do live game report or w.e where you quote yourself and explain whats going on in the game, but about 99% of the people are not actually paying attention to what your saying. yea O_o | ||

I very much doubt someone would do all that work for the sole purpose of raising post count - but even if that is their motivation, it's fine by me since content of those posts is actually useful information. Second, I imagine it's useful to a lot of people who can't watch the games during work or people who miss a game or part of it. I myself rely on reading LR posts for the majority of a GSL season. It might be worthless for 90%+ people, but it's worth a lot to the rest (unlike most other LR posts). Out of all useless bullshit in LR threads, you pick the posts that actually contribute something. -_- | ||

Poll containing better options comes here: 1) always read the whole thing 2) read the whole thing more often than not 3) read the whole thing a minority of the time 4) almost never In this way I don't need a tl;dr because i didn't fluff up the post with useless garbage like you did. I tackled that whole italicized paragraph in a fraction of a sentence. Brevity over verbosity if you want people to read what you have to say. I didn't read your post because I scanned it and saw fluff and garbage. | ||

If it is more than two or three paragraphs I usually read the first half and skim the rest. If they post a tldr at the end then I usually just skim most of it because if they can sum it up in one sentence then the OP should probably have been shorter in the first place. | ||

length, topic, and how they compose themselves when writing. if i read 4 sentences and 2 of them are complete shit i may not read the entire thing. yet if someone starts a thread properly I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and read it | ||

But yeah, I do read OPs. Especially when you're trying to make an argument against the OP...it's ridiculous to continue if you haven't even read the OP >< | ||
