Help[Opinions] I think
in reply to a message by Luxiana
That a decent rule of thumb would be to scroll down the whole page. If you can still see it, even just as the title ones without the replies showing at the very bottom, don't repost. The boards do not exist in the bubble during which one visits them, so show consideration for the people who are posting by actually reading what they've been posting in your absence rather than worrying only about what you wanted to see. There is no concrete X to recommend, but due to the way they push other threads off, it is only fair to at least try to pay attention and not repeat too frequently.
And no, the post like Chrisell's is discouraging her from posting the way she shouldn't, not the way she is meant to. If she were meant to post like that, it wouldn't really have been noteworthy, right?

Ok, so wait until a similar post is off the first page. I think that's reasonable. It gives more direction than saying "it's too soon".
To be clear, I know the board goes on while I'm away. I asked because I want to be considerate of the community here.
And I re-read my post at the end and I wasn't clear. I didn't mean to say that Chrisell's posts keep people from posting as the people are meant to (I don't know how people are "meant to" or should post, aside from the rules, that is why I asked). I meant Chrisell's posts are meant to discourage people from adding their posts to that thread. Anyway, it was a sidenote and not the main point of my post. I changed it to hopefully be more clear.
Thanks for the response.
