Title: Do you ever (the island of misfit posts)
Post by: mocat on November 23, 2014, 12:39:43 AM
Start a post and be like, nope, not a good post, and just exit out of the thread? I do it all the time

Yeah, I've spent 5+ minutes perfectly wording a long post only to delete it. The funny thing about this thread is that I think we'll be able to pick out all the posters who delete a lot of posts and those who don't delete any.

That's usually when it happens to me. Particularly when I think of some argument in my head and then I look up stats to back it up only the stats don't jive with the argument, so I like "welp,  :dunno:." Then I just exit out.

Sometimes, I start and then think, "Aw eff it, no one wants to hear that." Which is kind of interesting because other times I deliberately try to post things that people have no interest in. Totally mood dependent.

I assume most of you have drafted some really mean posts directed at me but then decide, "if I make fun of dobber, he might stop posting and that would ruin it for everyone. Kind of like what happened with beams." Then you hit delete.


I am in the "delete" camp on several posts that I have written.

I'm probably the opposite. I type a post quick, then post it. Then I notice an error and fix it. Then I notice another one and fix it. I just hope I get them fixed before someone quotes the post with errors. Or before it says "edited by _FAN" at the bottom.

heh, this is me too.  i always try to convince myself to reread and edit a post before posting, but i hardly ever do.  it's so stupid, i'm going to read it as soon as it's posted, why don't i just do it before i hit the post button?

and that damn edited by _ message comes up to quick.  it's so final.  they should give you more time.
