Well, it is spam; people have been warned and banned for it...
Ehhhh, not for a long time. I think for most of us, our stance for replies like this is ignore it. If a person doesn't want to contribute to the thread, then he or she should be invisible whether they post or not.


Actually Foman, I was warned for it.On the 8/10/2012
Yeah let's not turn this into a complaint thread..

TL;DR should be considered spam, but I don't know it deserves a warning.

And remember that not every long post is good. TL;DR could be a message to the OP to write better, shorter posts so that people won't lose interest. But of course, no-one takes it seriously because people who use it usually don't even try to read the OP.

Toughy.

Sometimes i quote people and don't add anything as they've worded what i wanted to say beautifully.
Sometimes i just say 'lol' to threads as i find them amusing.
Sometimes i say 'no' because i disagree, but don't care to explain.


I do not say 'TL;DR' because it literally means i "didn't read" the OP.
Doesn't contribute to discussion, but neither do the three examples above, really.
Difference is that 'TL;DR' holds as much ground as posting 'bump', which is indeed against the rules. While completely opposite, they do the same thing. Someone bumping a thread to the top with no rhyme or valid reason.

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

Well if you put a tl;dr in your post that would fix everything :D

if people are posting TL;DR in a serious manner then i think the OP should take the hint.

Welcome to the town of "Diligence." I'm Mayor Due.

Seems to me that if someone posts TL;DR as a reply, they can't be overly interested in having a conversation with that user / poster.

If you're not reading someone's post, you're disregarding their thoughts. Now if that's off the original post in the thread, then god knows what info you plan on continuing the thread with, aside from changing the topic to how important your time is I suppose.

Ignoring the post is fine, but posting tl,dr is almost like spitting in their face and walking the other way is it not?

I'm in full agreement with the OP. Posting a reply to a thread you didn't read, just to tell the OP you didn't read it, is completely pointless.
