If a question has been answered...

[Maggie Mae]

Hello!

I know I've seen threads about this before, but I haven't seen one recently, and I've been seeing this happen a lot.

If you see a thread where someone has asked a question, scan the other responses to see if it has been answered. If it has, there is no need to respond with the same exact thing. If that person gave an incorrect answer, or if you have a different idea, then of course! Please post! Different responses are helpful. Repeating the same thing someone else has already said, however, is unnecessary.

Thanks so much for reading!

I know exactly what you mean! I find it to be completely useless, not to mention kind of disrespectful for not reading the first two or three posts. It will only take up another few seconds of your life.

Rep to you, for bringing this up!

Thank you for responding, and I completely agree! There have been several times when I've answered a question, and gone back to find that three other people have said the same exact thing as me! It's like I'm being ignored, and what I say doesn't count. Very direspectful

While I agree, I think it's kind of nice to post.
Sometimes it's useless, but if you'd like to add something, of course it's not!

But I see your point.

I agree very much. There is never ANY reason to just post an answer to have a post and have the **chance** at a rep point for it. There are so many people out there that DO need help so get out there and find THAT person.

I agree...if you're just repeating the same answer it's not that helpful, if the question has already been answered. If something was missed, by all means fill in. Otherwise 15 posts with the same answer is kind of silly.

Thank you for responding! Of course I think if there is something to add, by all means post! I just dislike it when people repeat the same answer, hoping that the OP will give them a rep for it

Exactly! I see so many posts that go unanswered, find those and help them for the sake of helping them and being a kind person, not just to get more rep! Thanks for posting!

Thank you for responding, I agree completely!

Just wondering,, does that make it a fluff post? like it wouldn't make your post count any higher?

I'm not sure, I know they look into people's posts, but I'm not sure if they look at the context surrounding where the person posted it, you know? It would be nice, but that might just be too much work for them to deal with

cause i was thinking maybe thats why people do that... to get a higher post count im not trying to make the people look like crooks or anything just something that popped into my head..
