This is the second time in a short time that I've seen someone comment on a thread on the first page without having read the previous comments. Does this happen a lot?
I think it's normal that if you comment on page 7 of a thread you're interested in, you should read at least the first page and the page you're going to comment on, or pages 1-2 and 6-7, because in general, when a thread gets longer nobody reads all the pages, especially if you're commenting for the first time.
This also happens in other forums, and it is something we have commented on in our local board. Here the payment for signature campaigns may have an influence, but I visit other forums and if I comment on a thread for the first time on page 23, there's no way I've read the previous 23 pages.
But not reading the first page, especially if the thread is only one page long is a cardinal sin.
I'm about to send a PM to the manager so he doesn't pay him for that post.
What do you think about this?
I think this has been a problem for sometimes now. many people seems to conclude a thread by it's topic and I see the reason to that which are:
1)signature campegn with up to 60 post maximum a week. When dey try to meet the quota of post per week, dey make unnecessary post to cover up there post count.
2)They always feel that there is no need to explain again, perhaps people who has commented has already explain it all so need to again.
3)they always find it difficult to read. They sees it as stress to them, saying who cares if I make a quality post or Read through the forum before commenting.
4) always find it difficult to read a thread that is above 2 pages just as the op said.
With my little knowledge that is what I discovered.
