Subject: Thread Summary Option

Key

[ Idea ]: separate section below where you type the body of your thread for a thread summary; maximum of 140 characters (hey, it worked for Twitter); appears as you hover over a thread title; is viewable in smaller, grayer font above all OPs once you enter a thread*; it is optional, and thus not required to fill out before you make a thread; one *enter* counts as 100 characters since you shouldn't need it and it would reduce the annoyance of any possible spam people could create with it.

*the text within the summary is subject to the same forum rules as any other bit of text you choose to imprint onto these electronic pages.

Sorry about the lazy writing. I'm about to make this thread and go to bed so I'm not much for cleverly articulating my genius ideas.

Then people would post reading only the summary. It can potentially make the problem worse.

It's optional, it's the same as putting a TL;DR. Alright, NOW I'm going to bed.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

This site is not Facebook. This site is not Twitter. This site is not 4chan. This idea has been suggested a thousand times before. I like the forums the way they are right now. This idea will cause elitism. This feature would be abused. I prefer to judge posts on their content. This community used to be great. The dark background is better. Why don't you just use coup, OP?

You mean you want to save time by not having to click on a thread?

Come on OP, I know the Internet makes our attention spans shorter, but this is ridiculous.

Post a minimum of 2 links where it's been suggested.

OT: I don't think it would be a good idea.

The OP was just being satirical, Foman. It's all good nature. So just calm down.

Will you STAND YOUR GROUND?


Back on topic. I really don't see the point. You are already in the thread, why do you need a summary of it? It seems redundant to me. Just read the post. Besides, if that option is available, people will just read that instead of the post.

Avoids my post. I wonder why.

No proof no argument.

I'm not sure whats funnier...Foman (who is increasing gaining my manly love, which admittedly may be unwanted, but isn't optional).
Or the fact anyone responded to him in a serious way...Even slightly.

OT: I get the idea...But no. I can see it only being useful for REALLY long posts...Which if they are that long, are either not thought out, or are highly detailed.

Which in either case makes a summary pointless.

Put it at the top of your thread for the lazies!

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

The Black Chapter!

I'm not sure I would like this appearing as you hover over the thread title. Too much e-clutter appearing everywhere. If the visuals were designed very carefully then it perhaps could work, but I suspect not.

Implement a summarybot which scans every OP for uncommon keywords and makes a post following the OPs with its best guess as to what the summary might be. It's important that the guess is always hilariously inaccurate and has subtle sexy undertones.

Nah I really prefer not. It's good as it currently is.

It's fine now - users can include a summary at the bottom of their post if they feel the need.

  • 10.09.2012 3:51 AM PDT

IMHO I think that if you can't be bothered to the read the OP then you should not bother replying.. The same with 'TLDR'. Obviously you are not that interested, otherwise you would read the entire post.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

That sounds cool.

Not a bad idea. But why create something within the website when you can continue the practice of inserting, "TL/DR" along with your summary?
