Author Topic: tl;dr - Dismissive comment?  (Read 1147 times)

I wanted to hear your opinions on this, and your opinions only...

Should the usage of tl;dr within the drama forum be a bannable offence? I've always believed it as a dismissive statement and as displayed in the sticky topic ► If you don't care, don't post. -

... or similar dismissive statements will be banned.

For those who don't know, tl;dr means "Too long; Didn't read". Is this not a short phrase clearly portraying the poster's laziness comrades? If the poster didn't read the original post, its more than obvious they do not care for the actual thread - someone who does actually give some stuff about the thread would at least skin through.

What do you think?

It is - if I replied to this with a "tl;dr" then I would be banned.

(Well actually not really because I'm going to move this to off topic)

Fair enough, just thought that because I was talking about Drama, it fitted in Drama.

Why do you want us banned for this :panda:

Damn it to Hell, No is winning.

I really see why it's bad but I'm not the one who decides.

Only in drama, do note. This is why its silly to be moved to Off Topic.

We, the forum members, do have a sliiiight voice of the moderation.

From now on, dismiss all no voters as being pricks who just wanna piss me off.

By Ephi moving this to Off-Topic, I'm pretty sure its causing some confusion.

But I thought Badspot does bans for dismissive statements in all boards? I swear I've seen it before.

I was tempted to say tl;dr

It would make a bit more sense if it were in the Drama board, though. Especially seeing as most dismissive statement bans happen there.
