Like Poozy said, it's down to context.

I still think that if you put it after you've answered a question in a thread, it assumes that YOUR answer is the one and only best answer, even if that might not be the case. Someone might be able to expand on your answer, for example.

Just don't use it. It's never necessary to use it, so don't.

Can we still use "/thread" if we're just making reference to it?

Or am I about to be banned?

Maybe we can say as a way to end our process of thought. Like "/thought" for example. This way we are saying that it the end of our process.

What if I write, "/thread, just kidding"? I like to have fun with my smugness, occasionally.

Its about time, I hated it when people would type that, like Poozy said, it isn't funny or witty, but just plain idiotic and stupid.

Four pages about a random rule that will likely be forgotten and is happening if you like it or not? What is there to discuss?

Don't ask me, but talking about this will keep bumping this rule to the top rather than having users say "but I didn't know" and spamming wades pm box more than what's required

I entirely understand the point of this rule (keeping threads "tidy"), but isn't this just a personal bug? I don't really see the point in a rule so... Obscure.

I'm not arguing about the rule. I understand that it exists, and always will, but... A whole rule for something as small as "/thread"? That's kinda... Silly in my opinion.

Heh.

If you think this place is worse off than 4chan, then stay here. The less *chan here, the better.

Ffs, what's so hard to get? If you put "/thread" at the end of a post, no matter how long, you can expect Poozy or another mod to ban you for a day.

It's really not hard to get, why has this thread reached 4 pages? I'm starting to wonder if some of you have a little trouble turning on your computers sometimes...

Have you got a little notepad and a pen next to your keyboard? I can just see you squinting at the screen and writing down names for Poozy's ban list. Aww.

I've been through this thread and seen numerous responses of "Oh but can we say it this way, or under this context" etc.

For fuck sake, is it really that hard to fucking understand? Do not post /thread. Fucking simple as that.
