"I do not know you, therefore this is an excuse to not read your post!"

[Fonzie]

I find myself doing this a lot lately. It's normal when people use invidious styles of grammar, but now I seem to discredit things simply based on the person's popularity.

Do you find yourself doing this unwillingly?

[Tavrobel]

No, I always read all of the posts.

But that won't stop me from thinking that you're an idiot anyways.

[Jessweeee♪]

I'm more likely to read a post by someone who's internet personality I know better :p

See, my problem is the opposite Fonz; I do know you, therefore this is an excuse to not read your posts.

[Vermachtnis]

I try and read everyone's post. Unless it's really, really long. That's why I keep my posts short and entertaining.

Ah, you give me to much credit.

[Moon Rabbits]

I read threads with funny titles or lots of replies ... or, if I'm bored.

[Bunny]

I don't read posts made by idiots.

[NeoCracker]

I don't read posts made by idiots.
See, when Bunny responds to a post to call out its stupidity, he doesn't read it first. He can sense the fail reeking from the post, and reacts to that instead. There is no need to waste the time to read it.

[escobert]

sometimes I read them all. sometimes I skim. depends on if I feel like reading all this nonsense or not.

[Markus. D]

If it's on the way down I'll read it, but sometimes miss a couple of pages if it doesn't immerse me enough.

[rubah]

I only know who has written a post if I recognize their signature.

I usually skim anyways

[NeoCracker]

I wonder how often Rubah's thought I was Smitten?

[rubah]

I can barely read the name on that sig, so probably not very much.

[NeoCracker]

Well put your glasses on women! :mad2:

It's my seventh sense.

[The Unknown Guru]

I'll read it as long as it doesn't take any real amount of effort.

[Awrini]

I don't read posts made by idiots.

I don't think I like you anymore.

[eestlinc]

Two things influence my decision to start reading a thread: the thread poster and the thread topic. If the topic catches my eye, I'll read it no matter who started it. If a thread was posted by a person whose posts I especially enjoy reading, I'll read it regardless of the topic. Most times, I read a thread based on a combination of these two factors.

Once I have started reading a thread, I will generally read all of the posts in it. I may skip really long posts that don't interest me, but for the most part I don't skip anything.

[Jiro]

If I start reading a thread, and the first post doesn't bore me, I'll finish it. I don't discriminate based on any factors. I just have a laugh at the idiotic posts :D

[.:kerrod:.]

i don't not read posts made by people i don't recognise, i just enjoy reading posts from prominent members more because i have an idea of what they're like, etc.

[Big D]

I'm more likely to read a post by someone who's internet personality I know better :pThat's me as well. It's a bit counter-productive, but I'm not all that interested in getting to know new internet people anyway.

[Old Manus]

I read the first half of the post then continue scrolling unless it was an interesting post (god forbid)

[Cuchulainn]

That is the most moronic thing I've read here for a long time.

[scrumpleberry]

Naw, not really. Sometimes it can go in one ear and out the other, if I don't care enough.

[Loony BoB]

I don't discriminate in any way with regards to users when I'm reading a thread - at least, I don't think I do, anyway! However, there have been occasions that I'll disregard posts based on how long they were.

EDIT: So pretty much the same as what eest said.

[Setzer the Gambler]

I tend to read whichever posts are new in specific forums, but I do not read based on popularity of people. I've been here for a long time and that is the way I have always done it.

[Loony BoB]

Now that I look at who has responded in this thread, I recognise all but one of them so it would be hard to find posts to skip if I did this. xD

[Awrini]

But BoB, if you recognize all but one person. You should automatically filter out those people that you know repeatedly give poor and/or excessively long postings.

[Loony BoB]

Nobody gave a long post in this thread. :confused:

And as for poor posts, I read them anyway if they're short, as it doesn't take long and I can always warn them if they're spam.

That only person was probably me considering that my lack of activity has been the influence to the fact that I am known by no one on this website.

Plus, I rarely had to deal with the administrators on the forum. The only time I had to deal with one of them is when I requested that my username be changed :)

[Loony BoB]

The one person was Vermachtnis, actually. :p I recognise you well enough.

EDIT: Wait, I was wrong! I thought you were another Setzer (Setzer Gabianni). =x My bad!

Deadpool is so sexy.

[Meat Puppet]

I’m with the Mexican on this one

[Rantz]

I only read posts made by white heterosexuals.

Hehehe, see? You don't recognize me :D
Make that two then... ;)

[Quindiana Jones]

The only post I read is the first post, and any post that has me quoted in it.

[Vermachtnis]

[Goldenboko]

Normally I try to give everyone a chance, newbies who are cool means a more active forum latter on, however there are certain people I tend to ignore, but usually only if the post illegible. There's certain types of illegible too.

Type 1.

No punctuation of ANY kind, no capitals, just a big block of text.

[Marshall Banana]

Yep.

Also, I try to post about things other than strawberries, so I'm not too predictable.

[Gwawr]

If I'm honest, I tend to read without even looking to the left to see who's written it. I know so little about people here that I see no point in knowing who wrote it until I've read it.

My thoughts exactly.

[snacks]

No I just have a certain resident Face make me a script to replace what the person/persons post with "I'm just complaining again."

Works for me :D
