Can we stop with the "n/t"?

[JJackFlash]

What is the point?
It's a waste (I know, it signifies No further Text) and it's annoying.

[donheld]

1. ok n/t

:evilgrin:

[Misunderestimator]

2. Um... welcome to DU. Perhaps you could try to just ignore n/t?

:shrug:

You must get annoyed easily... you should go to GD. :)

[asthmaticeog]

3. It's so when you check for replies

using the "My Posts" feature, you don't click on something to read the rest only to find there's only a headline. Which would be a waste.

[Misunderestimator]

4. Oh... that is such a good response...

I should go change mine... :)

[asthmaticeog]

6. I liked yours!

It's pretty much what I would have said if I weren't in such a good mood today. :)

[Misunderestimator]

9. yay!

:evilgrin:

[bif]

11. No prob. n/t

[nini]

12. I appreciate its use... keeps me from clicking on the post

Why click on the post if nothing is there?

I think it's polite to use it actually.

[driver8]

39. I agree with you. That is why I use it. It makes sense to me. n/t

[qnr]

13. whatever n/t

[qnr]

18. BTW, hi, and a belated welcome to DU! :) n/... er, eom

[Heidi]

14. Welcome to DU JJackFlash . . .

n/t!

[Solon]

15. You got it wrong...

it saves time WHEN IN THE SUBJECT LINE, but it annoys me to no end to see it in the contents of a post. WTF is the point of THAT!?!?!

[Misunderestimator]

16. I agree...

n/t



:rofl:

[Solon]

24. That's a mean joke, especially with the "..." at the end!!!!!!

19. Um, you don't waste your time selecting everything to see if they threw

:P

I would have missed it if I hadn't been reading this whole thread.

:hi:

[khashka]

17. n/t

It means no text which is a warning not to spend your precious time on clicking a link when someone has aready said what they meant to say. It's actually a form of courtesy and good manners.


Khash.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

21. No. EOM.

[Rabrrrrrr]

26. It's just a click, of which I am not a member.

[Starlight]

27. I like it. I find it helpful & considerate.

Oh, I almost forgot: n/t ;)

[Telly Savalas]

28. It's in the rules of this website.

3. Content: Do not post messages that are inflammatory, extreme, divisive, incoherent, or otherwise inappropriate. Do not engage in anti-social, disruptive, or trolling behavior, unless such behavior consists of ending a message with "n/t" for the sole purpose of pissing off JJackFlash.

:shrug:

[ghostsofgiants]

29. The point...

The point is so that, when it is used in the subject line of a post within a thread, you know you need not click on it, since there's no text in the body of the message. Saves people time, especially if they're on slow connections.

Putting it in the body of a post is just plain idiotic though.

And I never use it myself, anyway.

[Dangerously Amused]

30. n/t! n/t! n/t! n/t! n/t! n/t! n/t! n/t! n/t! n/t! n/t! n/t!

Ohhh, sorry. I have a little reverse-psychology impulse control problem.

[uppityperson]

35. ok. how about n\t for a change?

[KT2000]

36. though it was a courtesy

so people wouldn't have to click into a blank message.

are you against the notice or the fact that there is no message?

[Dr Fate]

38. So how are we supposed to do one-liners? n/t
