Every now and then I do, mostly in the staff forum to make sure people who haven't posted have at least viewed various proposed changes.

Us plebeians can't see who has or hasn't viewed a thread. I read a lot more threads than I post in. I just like reading what other people have to say, don't necessarily have to comment myself.
I post in nearly every thread that I open because smurf I came this far I might as well go all the way.
Jiro takes the "dog on a walk" view. some of us are a little classier than that (???????)
Staff can see everyone who has viewed a thread and not posted? I feel this is too much power for certain staff members to have. In the wrong hands, this could be disastrous. I'm not sure I can continue to be part of such a destructive, Orwellian, online society.
That being the case, I refuse to post in this thread.
well you take a dog for a walk, right, he pisses on every pole he sees, right
thats you
The entire time I was on staff I had no idea that was even a thing. I only just now discovered the "who posted" feature!
Sometimes I'll view a thread and consider not respodning then respond anyway where I really shouldnt.

Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
I often view threads without replying, but it never occurred to me to even try to see who else has viewed. Sometimes, though, I'll check out "who's online" to see if there's an especially popular, active thread getting a lot of current attention.
I didn't even know that members were capable of seeing who looked at threads. I feel less guilty for when I have the odd week where I don't post too much because at least people who do that can see that I do at the very least browse the forum often.
EDIT: Wait, I guess it is just staff then? Well, whatever.
