After spamming waves with short, non-sense, shitty posts, since now we will see a new wave, a new hot-trend, which will bring us a tons of very long posts. Users will try to post as long as possible in order to get merits from others. In my point of view, tt might be bad, generally
I totally agree with this, it was already already difficult going through all the threads trying to find answers you need, and now we have to read novels ugh, not helping at all
What I believe to be the
shortest post Ive ever made was given +1 by a Legendary. Excluding quotation, the wordcount is:
3 words. Though its rarely been my strong suit, I may quote, Brevity is the soul of wit.
The criterion of meritoriousness is not
length, but
substance. Spammers will find tortuous screeds to be just as useless as one-liner junk
because it is indeed just as useless.
N.b. also that I recently was involved in an argument about the value of conciseness with a troll who posted disorganized, rambling walls of text. Even when long, good writing is reasonably concise. In the world of professional writing, painfully elaborate verbiage with too many adjectives is the mark of a worthless hackthe copy boy who somehow got to be a writer for a day. Dont do whats called trying too hard; and
never pad your wordcount
qua wordcount.
I think this merit system is quite unsustainable and I'm 100% sure I'll NEVER get any Merit point with this post. This will prove my theory is totally legit.
Petulant, self-entitled brat. You get an F in logic.
