Title: What threads do you refuse to click on?
Post by: Siege on August 26, 2009, 09:55:36 PM
What are the threads that keeps you away?
When you see the name of a thread, what makes you decide wheather to click on it or not?
Are you one of those guys that read EVERY thread?

History trivia; inadequacy issues. "Topic started by Siege" also usually has me dreading inane comments and thinking up insults, but I'll give you a pass for now, since you've been getting hammered tonight.

I ran away like I had a hajj battalion sized element on my tail and I had no ammo, if you get my meaning.

In general I have absolutely no interest in politics threads (specifically American politics   :bleeding: ) but this place is a bit different than most forums. :captain obvious:  Every thread has the potential to go almost anywhere, and even when it is ugly it is usually worth watching.

The rule isn't what the thread is about but more where I am.

At home & I only read whats interests me.
At work it's every thread.

I avoid sports threads that talk about stuff that doesn't interest me (American Football, Baseball, College Basketball, Cricket,...), the blatantly spammish Off Topic Topic and What are you eating/drinking/listening to ones and the ones that get hijacked into arcane and/or circular debates that go nowhere.

How often is "sometimes"? Every 10 posts? 25 posts? 50? 100?

Same rate then any other Languish thread really.

depends on a few factors... 1st if it's a cleverly titled thread, 2nd... it appears to be a popular thread ( and likely entertaining for this reason)  3rd ... who started it/topic is something I'm into.

certain threads like Movies, comics, books "unified" threads I peruse daily even if I don't post in them.
