Why are people writing OPs in the Community Feature Submissions thread

[Cheesy Beavy]

I like how the first comment on your profile is yourself calling you late and gay:


At least you're true & honest about it.

Let me doublepost to gloat in victory.

No hate but it should be 3 sentences maximum and only have a picture or video if it actually shows the content the post is about. Look at this most recent page. You should be able to glance at a post and decide if the thread interest you. This is four submissions.

I agree I’m not reading all that to maybe slightly care about your obscure happening. Post the thing that happened and a link to it if people care they will follow the link and read thread op for context.

Adding a bulk of context and history that might intrigue people is fine, the only problem is - no offense to the authors, I'm occasionally guilty of it - that they're inefficiently written, with meandering exposition, needless commentary and no focus or hierarchy of information.

All of you nerds who think you're William Faulkner and "want to engage the reader" with your "passion for the subject" bullshit can save your damn passion and prose for the main thread where discussion is occurring. The Community Happenings page is for the amuse-bouche. The lolcow threads are where the main courses are served (or troughs, depending on who we're talking about).

I don't know if my autism as an ever-lurker has missed someone saying this in this thread already, but if I am capable of getting the gist of the entire situation with a Community Happening post alone despite not even knowing who the cow is, then that's too long for me. No much point in checking a thread because "man known for shoving bottles up his ass" goes and, god forbid, shoves another thing down there.

That's all it needs to be.

I agree, the recent posts with dozens of lines and multitude of images are annoying. They clutter the community happenings and make scrolling to find interesting topics less fun.
1 Picture + 1 Link + Descriptive Sentence should be enough to get the content across, the rest can be in the linked thread.

Longposting wins and is here to stay ​

OP is a fag if you want to write an informative post about something why not do it in its fucking thread?

Yes, that is what I do - I write a long informative post about something in its thread: and that thread is the community happenings thread.

sir my k-farms karma ratios are impeccable:

For agree/disagree: 26.44
like/dislike ration is weird though: 246.22

rate this post with dislike to help make my like/dislike ratio more sensible

I am handsome, well liked, get very high amounts of k-farmer karma. Women like me, men want to be me and I vigirously defend the proper pronouns for trannies that try to take down the kiwifarms:

Even trannies love me.
Cope and sneed.

i may not go to the threads, but I like the effortposts as they let me know what I'm missing

way better than

bossmanjack'd a nigger

as the entirety of a post, and I have to click nigger to figure out what happened and if I care

Literally just spoiler your fucking essay and caption the spoiler "context".

Look at that, I just solved all your problems.

Close this thread and award me an Achievement reaction please thanks!

That wouldn’t piss people off though. That’s no fun.

It's even better that I haven't written many posts in there recently because I've been busy with RL shit

Wow, complaining about effortposts on a forum. Gtfo to Twitter, I guess.

I know this thread was about the community happenings thread in particular, but it seems there is an effort to have short posts in other areas of the forum too:

Your posts are long-winded and reek of effort.

Ok a perfect example just came up and its of course totally bizarre and unpredictable - some nigga lit a few million dollars worth of cryptocurrency on fire to spread a message that brain computer interfaces have been deployed/weaponized at scale within China: https://kiwifarms.st/threads/community-feature-submissions.114933/post-20615160

This is the exact kind of posts/story that REALLY requires some explanation I think and a lengthy post is actually warranted. The situation/message is so bizarre that I of course had to include what they wrote pretty much directly and if more information comes up I will append it to the post - this is fascinating shit.

If I were to just do a one or even two sentence description of it, it really wouldn't do it justice. I also have to assume that 90% of people reading won't even understand what "burned" means so I have to explain that.

You could have fitted the exact same info in like half the space by simply wrapping the text quotes in spoilers and embedding the thread links into text.
