Subject: TL,DR

This should be treated as spam, if you cannot read any post regardless of length then you're really in the wrong place...


Agree or disagree?

I agree and it is usually treated as spam.

tl;dr

Haha just kidding. I think they should get a private message/warning the first time, and if it's repeated then a short ban (1 or 3 days).

Disagree, the person simply is letting you know your post was too long and he didn't read it. At least he's being honest with you, compared to some generic post from some floodians that is completely off-topic.

The person can simply not post at all if they have no interest in reading.

There is no need to forum cop. I agree that the post is not necessary, but it doesn't bother me if it follows a wall of text.

This is a forum--people post their thoughts. If their thought is "this is way too long to read," then more power to them.

What's wrong with just ignoring the "tl;dr" post, just like you expect them to ignore walls of text?

Well, he already took the time to enter your thread, if it's using all 10,000 and he wasted his time entering the thread, he has to post something. So, why not let it be the truth, your post was too long, and he didn't read it.

Do you use this excuse when shopping? Especially online.

It does nothing for the discussion but attract more simple minded individuals to create those stupid quote chains because they think it's cute.


Whatever, Ninja has spoken...this is just another lost battle.

Hardly a battle, just you bumping your own thread in the hopes of more agreement.

I like to run a tight ship so to speak.

Why? You're not contributing anything to the conversation and you're basically just saying:

"I'm lazy."

Look...Sometimes TL;DR needs to be said.

There are plenty of times when members post ridiculously long topics that boil down to a simple point or opinion that could be communicated in a concise, yet complete, manner.

Sometimes members just like the sound of their own voice (internet-typing-speaking wise), and should be reminded that just because they like typing it doesn't mean it is worth reading.

Dear tomorrow, Find some sensibility, Respond to emotion.
Dear Politician, Define sagacity,
All chances of survival are beginning to diminish.
Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies.
Mass media, Mass pessimism, Mass Denial.
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen.
The apathetic force us to persevere, with their backwards priorities.

If the reply reads only "tl;dr", then yes. However, if the "tl;dr" is followed by an on-topic response, then I do not think the reply should be treated as spam.

You sure? I remember someone complaining about being warned/banned for posting "TL;DNR" in several threads. And I don't think I'm a long time member; although my memory is absolutely terrible...

Anyway, I'd count it as a form of spam, as it is not constructive nor adds to the topic's discussion. It is only an insignificant observation about the length of an OP (and the writer's attention span). But it's understandable if moderators ignore it, as it doesn't really hurt either...

As long as they contribute to the topic it's all good.

This. We do not need everyone writing novels on here... TL;DR are sometimes needed as a "Bro, that is more reading than I have done in a year, tone it down."
