Personally, I don't mind reading senventeen 8.5 x 11 pages, if every last post is well written. Sadly, that's mostly not the case. | ||

Sometimes it takes 2 pages of text to really articulate something. I have no problem with that at all - It's great to read two pages of rich content. But some of these massive replies say the same thing 16 ways, or worse, don't actually say anything at all. | ||

Well, If I may make an advice. I wanna know if someone replies to my comments, but u cant because some threads just feel ridiulously fast. Maybe an "Email if beeing quoted"-Option would help... but who am I to give advice =/ | ||

If I didn't have to read a dozen or so pages of junk before replying to a thread, in say, General, I'd probably start posting there more again. | ||

Joking aside. Besides the strategy section it seems ok overall. | ||

There's a phrase -- 'opinions are like assholes -- everyone has one and they all stink.' Many people seem to think that forums like these just exist to provide them with opportunities to express their opinions, so you get these megathreads with 1000 people shitting the same opinions out over and over again. If you agree that that's the role of a forum like this, then there's nothing wrong with it, but if you think that the purpose of a forum like this is to provide discussion, then that behavior ruins a lot of posts. I've learned not to reply unless I think I have something new to add, which means that I don't post much. | ||

But mostly nowadays it gets burrowed by heaps of void posts. I know this might sound cocky or arrogant and I don't want to come along that way so don't take me wrong. But as moderators, maybe you could tighten strings even harder for a while and prohibit void content posts even further then it is already done to bring the train back on the rail? | ||

Otherwise it would take days to read 90 pages of crap to find something worth discussing. | ||

This leads to even very good posts by smart people not getting read because they were posted so late. There's just so many users participating in these forums that reading a thread poses a pretty big time investment (in the time of the internet) and if you combine that with the amount of shit and stupidity floating around these forums you have yourself the problem you described in the OP.

I don't think you asided the joking when you continued with that post. | ||

I totally agree with you, but then again, some thread would fill a LOT slower if most people would read the replies before posting something, and it would avoid filling 89 pages with only 3-4 arguments repeated indefinitely. | ||

That's my take about your post though this should be made at the blog section instead of the sc2 section . gl hf . I have that happen to my topics and unfortunately it has even come to the point that some people don't read the OP at all and just want to be the first to reply.

I agree so many people reply and do not edit their posts at all or just skip the huge posts that they'll just say TL;DR and then miss the point those people are making.

Haha yea I am eagerly waiting when the strategy section is becoming more.... fresh? Without saying anything harsh about the people posting in them.
