I don't even know what TL;DR means.

Therefore no support.

Too long, didn't read.

It means they didn't bother reading and posted that for the sake of posting.

That's the Chat Bubble now, if you remember the Egg Hatch 2013 movement. Also, ROBLOX has made "TOS Breaker/Abider" hats before.

I'm sorry, but "Brevity is Wit" can only help ROBLOX so much before becoming annoying.

And I've found a fight, because you have stooped to insulting by your second post.

1. "Noob" means newbie, so it is not an insult.

2. Getting rid of "idiot" is another suggestion for another day.

3. I don't want to get rid of "dude", it's a nice word.

4. Same as 3 for "cool".

TL:DR works like this:

Say you've spent days upon weeks upon months building a Place, and you hardly get any visits because it is too big. Your work was "insulted" by your potential customers computer's.

The exact same here. Say I've been writing a 3000+ word post about the state of ROBLOX, and people say "TL:DR". That's an "insult" toward my writing.

It is annoyingly insulting. It's not a high-grade insult, but it starts fights.

TL:DR is an insult. Urban Dictionary: TL:DR, look it up.

I have no idea what gave you the idea that it is an "ego booster", it ain't.

Please don't compare building a place to typing a thread. While they may require a lot of work, typing a thread about something detailed and lengthy, especially on a children sites, will only influence your "potential reader" not to read it since it will require more time on their part.

TL:DR - keep it short and simple, not long and complex.

Both still require work on the user's end to publish/post. If the work is ignored because of the sin of sloth, then the poster of that work feels insulted/defeated.

Roblox value places more than forum posts. If you want an audience that will read everything that you type, than you should go on a websites made primarily for discussion

You know "TL:DR" has gotten bad when people do that to a mere sentence.

Unless it really IS TL:DR (But there are not a lot of those)

People do it to 'lone sentences. As in, posting for the sake of post count.
