When posting links....

Post by XMEN Gambit »

Please don't just post the link and run. Give us a summary, tell us what you think, tell us how it affects you, make a smart comment, or something. Exercise the old noodle a little.<br><br>A title with a link is NOT a "post", it's a link. If you don't think it's worth commenting on, why is it worth clicking on? <p></p><i></i>

I do sort of agree, Gambit. But I also like to just throw something out there sometimes.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Even one sentence would be an improvement sometimes.<br><br>Curious that you mention ArsTechnica, Bug. That was the inspiration for my request. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

They should say something when its not appropriate for some or a warning that the picture is gross. Like the one of the cat. I never saw it cuz Gryphon told me not to click on it cuz it wasnt very nice. Sounds like that one shouldnt have been posted. <p><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.thzclan.com/bbsradio"><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.thzclan.com/avatars/stangav.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.thzclan.com/cam/index.php?zo ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.thzclan.com/cam/stang/thb_ccam.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></p><i></i>

I've been posting at Ars for some time, Gambit, and reading since quite a few years ago (99 or 2000, IIRC). The PG there is a pretty good document. <p></p><i></i>
