I'm tired of being (metaphorically) Rick-Rolled here in GD

Any post that has a title that does not give me some sense as to the contents of that post is, for all intents and purposes, a "Rick Roll." I could be clicking on "Never Going to Give You Up."

Heck, even the animal/pet posts in the Lounge (almost always) indicate what you're going to get when you click on the post.

Somehow, in GD, there's no such consideration.

I realize that it's not only possible, but highly probable that no one in the DU community gives a rat's backside whether or not little-old-insignificant-me clicks on their posts. So, this isn't a threat--but I'm NEVER again going to click on any GD post that has a title that obscures the post's content.

It's like inviting me to a party without telling me that the party is an orgy/rave/church service/Amway convention, gynecological exam, Barney sing-a-long, hunting trip with Dick Cheney... (you name it)

I've been a member of DU for 19 years, and I keep coming back because I really do think of us as a community. As such, I do my best to treat everyone with respect and consideration. I think it's disrespectful and inconsiderate to ask our community to click on a "Discussion" post without giving the community some sense of what they're going to get when they click. (Maybe somewhat more forgivable in the Lounge, but even so I'm not much of a fan of this behavior.)

WTF is your point?

[FlaGator]

DU is the longest-lasting Rick-Roll in history.

62. and then someone might be scarred for life

PTSD kicks in and it becomes a mess.

Don't risk exposure to unknowns, that's the moral of this story.

Stay safe everyone, we're all in this together.

I think he's serious, because he put a group-hug emoji in the post.  So, all of DU is supposed to NEVER learn anything new?  Ever?

     They should just lengthen the thread title to include: THIS THREAD ONLY THINGS THAT YOU WILL AGREE WITH, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO: TRUMP SUCKS, MUSK SUCKS, FAT REPUBLICANS ARE FUNNY, FAT DEMOCRATS ARE DEITIES, THERE IS NO GOD, FAUCI IS A SAINT, BIDEN DOESN'T SHIT HIS PANTS, JANUARY 6 WAS THE WORST EVENT IN HUMAN HISTORY, BLACK LIVES MATTER, ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS, LIZZO IS A KWEEN, HUNTER BIDEN IS THE GREATEST MAN IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD, HILLARY IS THE REAL PRESIDENT, EVERYONE EXCEPT YOU IS A TRANSPHOBE.

     That should prevent the snowflakes from crippling anxiety when they click on a thread.

They need a daily calendar with a list of things to complain about that day 

[ADsOutburst]

DU gonna let you down and hurt you plenty.

I thought that was what the MIRT squads were on patrol for; to ensure that only allowed complaints are posted on any given day...

[CollectivismMustDie]

Yet not a one of them are tired of being rickrolled by the msm.

What a bunch of DUmbasses.

Over 145 posts on this whine-fest, DUmmies are never happy.

It seems paradoxical to normal people like us, but DUmbasses are only ever "happy" when they're miserable - or making someone else miserable. It's insane, but I give you the DUmp denizens ladies and gents...
