the fst echo phenomenum

[Polarbear]

there's one thing i noticed in several threads in the fst bittorrent section.

i find it quite amusing, but sometimes a little weird.

one guy starts a thread with a question.

the answer to his question is "A".

so someone replies to his thread and posts "A".

the guy who asked the question is happy that he got is answer - everything is fine.



now what often follows are up to 20 people posting the exact same answer: "A"

why do people do this? parrots? forum echo? don't they read the thread before posting?

i think i just did it but i thought it would be up discussion but the worst one has to be those the one answer questions, that dont require any discussion cant really think of any good examples off the top of my atm

I partly agree with you, in some threads its unnessesary to do what you describe.

But if a user is asking a question and wants comments from other users about a certain issue, how does he know what each user has to say if they are not allowed to have the same opinions as other users.

I do know what you mean, there is a lot of threads where this is not an option!

Everybody likes to have their say to have 2/3 people all confirm the same thing is nice to have for reasureance so that the chances are not just a one off whatever the topic even i like that but 20 is in the extreme and stupid maybe some are just building their post count who knows for sure

i wasn't talking about discussable answers or comments. just plain answers.

q: "how much is 5+5"?
a: "10"

followed by at least five people posting the same sometimes

Excactly, so we agree. Everything else is considered spam
