If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

I am posting in this thread to say that I don't feel like saying anything.

...

Yeah, I can see your point. Redundancy is redundant.

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

I don't feel strongly one way or the other.

Just let it be. It's not worth getting worked up over.

Apathy! Sound the beige alert!

Anyway, I guess it would technically be spam. You're not really contributing anything by stating that you don't really have anything to say. Really? If you're bothering to say that you can't be bothered, why bother?

"I may not be perfect, but always been true."

I agree with you OP, although I don't really care about what you think.

(See what I did there?)

But in all honesty, I do get bothered when people do that, kind of like when somebody posts a Reach thread, asking what's the community favorite Noble Team member only to have X guy enter and be like "OMGZ Reach suckzz". It bothers me a lot.

I do find it slightly annoying, for, if you have nothing to contribute to the thread, you shouldn't post. If a post contributes nothing to the thread, it probably can be considered spam. Even if it is acceptable, I see no reason to do it, but it is almost certainly frowned upon, at the very least. Why reply to a thread if it does not interest you in any way?

In some cases, posts saying something along the lines of "I don't care" may also be considered off-topic. If, for example, a thread asks for your favourite games, then a reply stating, "no one cares," is not answering the question in any way, as well as being rather rude and irritating. You should also "respect your fellow members," and I do not consider "I don't care" particularly respectful.

There's nothing wrong with no caring, or being neutral about something, but if you do decide to post that that is your stance on the matter, I think you should at least attempt to elaborate, by giving reasons, for example, rather than simply stating the fact that you don't care.

Now that you mention it, it is fairly annoying. It's seems like the person doesn't necessarily know what they're talking about but they still want the attention so they just post something really bland like "I don't care".

  • 12.31.2011 5:08 AM PDT

Just laugh at the fact that they're keeping a thread they "don't care [about]" at the top of the forum.

I would think it would be counted as spam, but I guess if they say something a little more than "I don't care" I think it would be okay.

If I am not posting, then I am reading what you might have posted.

I really don't when people don't about when I post something that other will care about?

But, yeah it does seem to be a sort of spam in some ways. The idea of a post is to be beneficial to the thread's topic and posting, "I don't care." Is not beneficial to the thread's topic, which cause's others to quote and post it.

It annoys me when members post in threads just to say they don't care...Would you consider it spam? I certainly do...You're entitled to your opinion but if that's all you really have to say on a subject why even bother?

Too bad this even has to be said.
Common sense and courtesy are fast becoming lost arts.

Meh I usually report it. But I've never seen it do anything because it require more than one report. But I don't care about people posting "don't care."

I report it. Every once in a while just take a look at the Reach forum. Most of the responses there consist of: K, Umad, Adapt, nope ur bad, lolwut, CoDsucks, ITT: XXX, opinion, lol, etc.

They aren't adding anything to the discussion as well as posting saying "they don't care".

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

I don't care.

Really, it doesn't bother me. If people want to post in my thread that they don't care, I'm all for it. Having a bunch of comments by people who "don't care" just keeping my thread going which will just expose it to more people. Eventually it will be a hot topic that no one cares about.

Not caring is one thing.
Posting derogatory, spiteful, egotistical, flame bait is another.
That tends to be the context of most 'I don't care' posts.

Well flame bait in of itself is a different beast, if that's the case I'd report. Though if it were in a thread of mine I may secretly welcome it. Some on these forums are unable to ignore obvious flame bait and cold really cause the number of replies to explode. >_>

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I don't care...
^ Spam

I don't care, *further explanation of not caring and relevance to the thread.
^ not spam

Saying "I don't care" is useless to the conversation but by saying it with why you don't care pertaining to the topic should be acceptable.

I could care less about what you're trying to preach, but if I feel that you're giving the wrong message, well you get the idea.
