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 read this post and have read no more of the thread.
Man philipma1957, of course you don't need more to answer. I expected no less from you, that you understood. The problem here is not the threads where you are asked about your experience of something, such as this thread or others like What was your first experience with gambling? How and when did you get to know bitcoin?
The problem is that I was referring to another thread that is not of this style. You can see
my answer to this thread to see if you understand it better:
Do you know about the first public servant paid in bitcoin ?The thread is not about one's subjective opinion or experience, it is about objective fact.
And to top it all off in this thread, my one, there is a guy who has protested without having understood anything about the my OP,
as I said before.This is the issue of the internet and blogging. Me I have time and I can spend 2-3-4 hours a day on this site. Many people don't have time and many don't have pc or internet access. Of course some are just trying to earn coin fast and easy.
Back in 1997 to 2005 time frames I only had internet access at my public library. Plus I got bumped off the machine after 30 minutes. Then from 2005 to 2008 I had dial up . So my 'modern' fast internet access started in 2009. I also got a relatively decent Mac mini the 2009 models had i5 2500 style mobile cpu and I put in a 32gb ssd. My Mac mini was the third fastest rating in the two or three sites that had 3 or 4 thousand speed rating on Mac minis.
So when you see a guy that looks rushed and did 1 post just to squeeze some coin from a signature do you know if he or she has a shitty pc/laptop on a limited internet link or is it an a-hole doing 2 or 3 or 4 accounts to score coin.
I used to really dislike signature campaign but when you consider that 2-3 billion poor people in 'third' world countries get a chance to make some coin and maybe drag their family up a notch from stone cold poverty I have learned to appreciate the signature campaigns.
Management could do a lot about multiple accounts grabbing 2 or 3 signatures. But trying to say someone needs to read every post before they post is a hard ask.
If a thread is 3 pages or less I may read the whole thread and post. When threads get over 10 pages I may read the op's first post and answer like I did here. Depends on how the post was worded. Sometimes I do fuck up and under read or miss that I am repeating an idea.
I guess management could look for multi accounts from 1 ip. that would cut down a ton of shit posting. but hell maybe they do that.
