Why do you make posts like these? Don't think that I'm trying to single you out though, because too many people make posts that have absolutely 0 (zero, nill, zip, nada) productive use.| Lesson on the Rules! |
Posting a reply to merely say you don't know or you also want to know something is a waste of space and all of our collective time
|
While this rule doesn't directly cover these kinds of posts, they are still a waste of space (see "Lesson on space!") and all of our collective time (see "Lesson on collective time!"), so one could assume that such posts are still against the rules. People who break the rules have bad netiquette (see "Lesson on netiquette!") and people who have bad netiquette generally upset others in the e-community (see "Dealing with those that have bad netiquette!").| Lesson on space! |
Space is not infinite. There is a pre-defined amount of space. While there is a lot of space, that is not to say that it can be used for just anything. A waste of space is something that no one gains any useful information from. This is bad. Refrain from wasting space. Conserve space! Save the e-world!

| Lesson on collective time! |
I wasted 10 seconds reading and understanding your posts. That 10 seconds was wasted because the information I gained from that post was not useful in any way. That's just 10 seconds from me. Everyone who takes the time to read these posts loses roughly the same amount of time. So if 300 people take the time to read and understand them, that is 3000 collective seconds gone. That is 50 collective minutes that could have been used for productivity, but was instead used to read two useless posts. This isn't taking into consideration how many repeat glances any individual might take at these useless posts after they see that there was a reply in this thread, which would take up more collective time.

| Lesson on netiquette! |
Network etiquette (netiquette) is a general code of behavioral expectations on a forum (and other social e-communities). Having good netiquette is a good way to gain appreciation in an e-community such as a forum. Having bad netiquette or none at all is a good way to get booted from an e-community.

| Dealing with those that have bad netiquette! |
Most people don't. The nicer communties give warnings, though this kind of member retention only goes so far before someone brings out a ban hammer.
