Can we please get rid of the hideous forum spam that is commenting “r” or “reserved” on posts?

Most of you know what I’m talking about, but for those of you who somehow aren’t familiar, I’m referring to a common trend on the forums where a post is made, it gets a ton of people browsing it, and suddenly instead of RP-replies, people start spamming “r” or “reserved.” It’s the LOTC forum equivalent of people on youtube or instagram commenting “first” on newly posted content.

Most of the time when these r-spammers comment, they never actually change their “r” into RP content. It stays as “r” for who knows how long, and on the slim chance that they actually do go back and edit their comment, no one’s even viewing the page anymore. For the people who don't go back and edit their comment at all, it stays that way and is seemingly never hidden or removed. Like, honest to god I would rather see meme-RP than r-posting, because at least meme-RP is funny

People only do this so they can be first in line to get rep on their comment. It’s ugly forum spam and moderating it would hurt literally no one

A new rule wouldn’t even have to be added to ban reserved-posting. Like, these rules are already in place, they just need to be enforced

No I'm not implying that we make all forum RP follow these guidelines, because I don't expect everyone to meticulously type out a detailed, character-developing response to every post, just that the r-posting is moderated so RP posts can stay clean of spam. 

here come the wave of genius comedians who are going to type r and submit reply

This was brought up in mod manager chat today actually - funny you mention me in it.

 

I have no problem hiding them if they pass 24 hours of being up without update. It's just that we don't really see them all the time. If there are any posts you want us to clear out of the reserved posts (when they have been sitting), just report it so we can view and leave a comment on it if there are multiples so that we know to look through all comments.

You can get warned for describing your character as "the knight" or whatever instead of explicitly naming them, but leaving "r" on every thread is a-ok. It's ridiculous. 

 

Usually they haven't even r'd themselves into a good spot either. "Ahyes, I've saved myself position 5 on page 3. Thank God I didn't end up in position 8 on this irrelevant page like a total rube."

I looked at someone's forum profile the other day. More than half of his posts on his front page were just r.

I likely solely speak for myself, but as a newer member of the community I simply took it to be part of the forum culture and a quicker way to go back to a post you mean to check in and respond to when you have the spoons to do it. (Okay, that last part was definitely for me, as I certainly have several pending posts I need to respond to aaaaaa) 
I absolutely see your point and will attempt to rectify any I've done as quickly as I can. Thank you!

      Stein's Final Moments
      Alone, that was the feeling he felt, as he laid on the table in the surgical room in the Hohkmat clinic. Fear made itself  known as well, as he was recently cured from vampirism in that very room. The fear only grew as the restraints seemed to get tighter and the room spinning. Two others made there way in, separate, and at different times. They were once friends, family even if it came down to it. But his actions caused them to forget him as someone good. Hour's passed by as Stein, now called Almer, laid there on the surgical table, waiting for his fate to be decided. The door creaked open and his restraints came loose, allowing himself to sit up. His fate had been decided, the only thing he could do, was make it painless. The choices were simple, die a painful death, or be put to sleep, feeling nothing. The decision was simple, as he took the Nightsap juice given to him.
       
      Before drinking, memories of his life flashed in his mind, memories of his childhood on his farm with his family, that he had forgotten so long ago. Now taking a drink of the juice, memories of his time in Reinmar, the friends he made that grew into a family outside of his original home on the farm. And as he slowly drifted away, his memories were of his new friends, now wishing him dead. The last image that made it's way to his mind was everyone he knew, gathered together. Almost like a final farewell, even though he did not deserve it. As his death drew near a tear rolled down his face, before his heart stopped, his limbs and body turning cold, and his image, slowly fading away, into the darkness, as he drew his very last breath.
       
      --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      OOC NOTE:
      Finally, after almost three months of playing as Stein/Njal/Almer, I have finally made the decision to pk him. This wasn't the ending I wanted for him, however this is the ending I am giving him. I am taking this time to thank everyone that was a part of his life, these past three months on the server have been a blast. Stein and myself have made a lot of friends that I hope to keep and play along side them with other characters I make. So for those reading this thank you and to anyone that knows, give a salute as "The Stone Fortress" has finally fallen.
       
      I will now take the time to thank those that have impacted Stein's life greatly @FunkehMelon @melonth @ickyNuN @confusedjester @Rocky_Wolf @SmothBM  @Irishmanmichael  and of course many more that I am sadly too lazy to actually search up and apologize for it. However though not everyone that has impacted Stein's life will be on here, I have not forgotten you and will never forget you. So thank you all for the fun three months, and I will see you all in my next lives <3!
