Last night and this morning, you’ve made 13 posts, although judging by post numbers, you’ve made several more that you’ve since deleted. These posts contain between them 4730 characters, which means a post (limit of 6000 characters) could have been made with 1270 characters to spare. Your 13+ posts could have been condensed into
one post.
This number of superfluous posts frankly makes threads much harder to read. There are many occasions where in order to respond to a player, or to remember some detail, I have to back read through recent parts of the thread. Please remember that I am often doing things IRL and can’t reply constantly, at least, in a manner that is satisfactory, so I
have to back read. There are five ways to view a thread. I can look from the board view, which shows the most recent 6 posts, I can use last 50 posts, last 100 posts, and last 200. I can try to view the whole thread, but this is usually overly taxing on my phone or computer. When there are so many frankly slop posts, they clutter the thread, and make it much harder to find what I need to find. Often, I have to expand the field of view to see the posts I need to see. And this really is a frequent occurrence. I’d love to see the most recent relevant replies, but I can’t do that when the entire last six are nothing. I suspect other players have the same or similar problems.
Second, this kills threads. I like to make new threads on odd millennial posts. This is an occupied game tradition going back more than half a decade at this point. And it isn’t just an arbitrary number. Post limits exist for a reason. When a thread has too many posts, it will have difficulty loading on many devices. Threads have life expectancies. And I often like to keep the same thread around for a while, especially when I like the OP image. And I fucking hate missing the millennial post for a new thread in a way I cannot express. Mounds of meaningless wasted posts just bury through this post count and kill threads.
And further, I suspect that you probably want what you post to be read, instead of people just seeing the ID and skipping down. People would be more interested in what you have to say if you didn’t type out and immediately post every single thought that came to mind, but if you communicated only what you really wished to communicate to others, and maybe did so in fewer posts.
It reminds me of Elway doing an audit of his Fallout Equestria review, and finding that about 40% of all of the character volume was Nigel’s rants. It reduces the quality of the experience for everyone.
> Okay, lets unpack that.>Are player SERIOUSLY about to criticize other players for being annoying? After everything?>Okay, Ill work it into my list.>I just wanna tell cool stories with my friends.Yes. Absolutely. When something is annoying us, it’s hard to focus on good things. Talking about the behaviors annoy you is the first, critical step towards stopping that annoyance, and improving the quality of the experience for everyone. A game like this is not any one person’s story. It is everyone’s. And when everyone else’s stories are buried beneath small posts, it reduces the quality of the experience.
