To reply or not

Honestly, what do you think about replies?
If you chose "other" please explain why (Admins I know you're kind of forced to pass comment)

You have no idea how many bottled up replies I have that were never posted... There's whole buckets of them outside.

However, I'm not voting. I'll be shot if I do.

I only reply to a topic that interests or amuses me. If a topic is overly stupid, I'll usually take a moment to mock the author.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God.
You see things, and you say 'why'. But i dream things that never were and i say 'why not'.

I'm with miss odd... usually, I only look through topics that sound interesting. I do have a tendency to "warn" people when they post something really stupid or something that I don't think should be up and/or makes sense. I can misinterpret titles, which is what happened when I read Jacob's fan fic...

Well, usually I try to be helpful. Like in fan art, when I think it needs improvement, although I don't give way to open criticism, I do offer my suggestions as an artist to help them improve. With fan fics, I also try to give my opinion on what it needs a little more of and what needs to be toned down a bit(though most of the time, I'm pretty much impressed by what I see).

I reply when I am familiar with the ideas of a topic. Sometimes I just reply to things for the hell of it. Yes, like this one...

I usually look at a topic because it has an interesting or (as in this case) weird name. If its rubbish i'll get around saying so by saying something like this is an interesting topic or its ok but i would improve by... if its something like a story.
Also, if theres a member i dont like for any reason ill try and avoid looking at his topic.

Stay silent, unless i like it

I am so sick of people replying to topic only to add comment like "This is Spam" or something like that. If everyone only replied to things that interest them then we wouldn't have this continuing issue.

Um...I hate spam myself, and I do think replying to complain about spam IS spam. Still, without deleting a post, which might be removing someone's opinion, I can't see a better way to deal with spam

It's over

I started this poll and looks like it's now lost in time.
The final result:

Stay quiet, unless I like it

I reply to the ones for the sake of a good discussion. I mean that is the point we are on here right? One thing I can't stand are spam threads. But I also like posting aswell. I am a good person for makeing very good conversations with. That and I post to simply expand on my artistic talents in story writeing and art like my fanfics and RPG'S. Also to get feed back from the rest of the world. So far its been rewarding.
