Thread Traitors, Hit & Run Posters, etc.

Do you get annoyed when people make threads that they don't post in afterwards?

I barely remember what I'm doing, let alone what anybody else has done, so nah.

IDK...Um...*rolls dice* (six) YAsh.....argch

I do that. I don't really see it as "abandoning" a thread. I usually just start a thread introducing a topic and let it go its course. Sometimes I do post adding to the conversation, if I have something to add. If I don't, I just leave it alone.

Yeah, that bugs me, but I do it myself, so I can't complain :spin:

No. Just because they aren't continuing to post in their thread it doesn't mean that they're not reading it, so it doesn't annoy me. :jess:

It depends on the type of thread. But not usually, no.

>>> Sometimes threads get spammed, so I cant blame the people who abandon their own threads..

No. It's the poster's prerogative whether or not they want to reject something they've made. If anything, it's nicer that they remain somewhat detached in a casual thread. I'd probably have problems if it were an art or literature thread, or anything of the sort, not that I frequent the "use your brain" forums.

Because I don't like posting even my opinions in a thread like this unless I think that the particular answers could, somehow, positively affect the thread starter. Because this is more that person's concern than anybody else's at this point in time. Or so I imagine.
See PM.

I feel that any thread automatically becomes public property and a resource for everyone to engage and create discourse. Some people may not want to be post because they feel embaressed, but they read (look at all the readers!) and they may get more from the topic than Devil Man who could have potentially started the thread with no intention of reading the results. It's possible...

Either way, I don't see a thread as belonging to a single individual. It's a community discourse and collaboration... we're using eachother to explore ideas and learn how to communicate our beliefs and feelings maturely.

Ultimately I believe the thread starter is unimportant and incidental to the discourse.

Nah, it doesn't bother me. It seems like a silly thing to be concerned about. :p I guess it would be odd with some threads, like if someone is directly asking for input about their own problem, and then never bothers to respond. But in general discussion it's perfectly fine.

They don't have a responsibility to babysit a thread unless it's something like an RP or a tournament.

And now I am rather disturbed that the boy Martyr is wondering whether Devil Man is sexually healthy :erm:


I feel scared :aimblush:

They're despicable human beings that deserve nothing more than a good caning.
