Do you think they should cut down the number of words a person can use in his/her answer?
Some of you have verbal diarhea.
{I spell checked but it doesn't look right}
I can't be bothered to read answers that go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on....cut to the chase guys!
Answers:
Yes I think there should be a limit on how many words you can use in an answer they limit us on how many words we use in a question.
Some askers like long detailed answers.some don't.
Some need more words, I would like an option for more words
I think its good to be able to put detailed answers - for some things, its necessary to get all the detail in.
Sometimes, short, sharp answers are best, but I think we'd be missing out on some valuable answers if we limited the length.
No not really !
Yours has gone on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on a bit, hasn't it?
You either want an answer or you dont
I once asked who had a strange phobia and got a list of every single one there was. It bugs me.
not in the answers, but in the questions, some go on and on
No.
Yes, answers should be concise and not full of waffle - short and sweet
Is that enough?
I agree, I don't read the long answers or the long questions. Spit it out, right.
In short, no!!
I agree.short snappy answers that get the question answered do for me.
I think something should be done to cut the questions shorter.
I just wish they could stop the "cut and paste" answers that no one can be bothered reading!
Yes, it is actually a good idea.
It's like TV, dude. If you don't like it, move on. Don't try to dictate what others say or do just because you don't care for it. Nobody has EVER made you read a long answer. It's a personal choice, so make your own, not mine!
Censorship is the editing, removing, or otherwise changing speech and other forms of human expression. In some cases, it is exercised by governing bodies but it is always and continuously carried out by the mass media. The visible motive of censorship is often to stabilize, improve or persuade the society group that the censoring organization would have control over. It is most commonly applied to acts that occur in public circumstances, and most formally involves the suppression of ideas by criminalizing or regulating expression. Furthermore, discussion of censorship often includes less formal means of controlling perceptions by excluding various ideas from mass communication. What is censored may range from specific words to entire concepts and it may be influenced by value systems; but currently, the most common reasons for censoring ("omitting") information are the particular interests of the distribution companies of news and entertainment, their owners, and their commercial and political connections.
Sanitization (removal) and whitewashing are almost interchangeable terms that refer to a particular form of censorship via omission, which seeks to "clean up" the portrayal of particular issues and/or facts that are already known, but that may be in conflict with the point of view of the censor. Some may consider extreme political correctness to be related, as a socially-imposed (rather than governmentally imposed) type of restriction, which, if taken to extremes, may qualify as self-censorship.
"Censorship" comes from the Latin word "censor." In Rome, the censor had two duties, to count the citizens and to supervise their morals. The term "census" is also derived from this word.
An early published reference to the term "whitewash" dates back to 1762 in a Boston Evening Post article. In 1800 the word was used publicly in a political context, when a Philadelphia Aurora editorial said that "if you do not whitewash President Adams speedily, the Democrats, like swarms of flies, will bespatter him all over, and make you both as speckled as a dirty wall, and as black as the devil." [citation needed]
The word "sanitization" is a euphemism commonly used in the political context of propaganda to refer to the doctoring of information that might otherwise be perceived as incriminating, self-contradictory, controversial, or damaging. Censorship, as compared to acts or policies of sanitization, more often refers to a publicly set standard, not a privately set standard. However, censorship is often alleged when an essentially private entity, such as a corporation, regulates access to information in a communication forum that serves a significant share of the public. Official censorship might occur at any jurisdictional level within a state or nation that otherwise represents itself as opposed to formal censorship.
Types
Most public speech depends on an organized forum such as a court or town meeting, or on technologies such as paper, the printing press, radio, television, or the Internet. In each case, only a minority of people have initially had free access to the medium of public communication. Most often, censorship does not seek to ban certain ideas "in a vacuum," but rather to restrict what may be said in particular media of communication.
In England, censorship began with the introduction of copyright laws, which gave the Crown the permission to license publishing. Without government approval, printing was not allowed. For a court or other governmental body to prevent a person from speaking or publishing before the act has taken place is sometimes called prior restraint, which may be viewed as worse than punishment received after someone speaks, as in libel suits.
Censorship can be explicit, as in laws passed to prevent select positions from being published or propagated (e.g., the People's Republic of China, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Australia, and The United States), or it can be implicit, taking the form of intimidation by government, where people are afraid to express or support certain opinions for fear of losing their jobs, their position in society, their credibility, or their lives. The latter form is similar to McCarthyism and is prevalent in a number of countries including the United States.
Ye.
Some of them are a bit excessive so yes it might help if they did that.I wonder how many long winded answers you will get back here.
There had to be one.
not really. but there should be more activeadmins, to delete single letter answers, or the 20.000 word explanation for 'how much is 1+1'.
why? can you not read very well and get all mixed up when there is alot of writing
This answer being an exception, I usually write quite a bit. I like to be thorough. I think that if an answer is really long, you can determine pretty quickly if you're really interested reading the whole thing. If the first few lines hit home, then you'll keep reading. If not, you'll quit.
nope sometimes i like to linger longer when i come across an intriguing question unlike this one sorry bub it will remain the (sane) thanks for the 2points though
If you cant be bothered to read long answers then don't read them. Some questions need detailed answers.
i dont think so?..i answered "No" to a question and got a violation notice.
It said it was neither a question or an answer!
What the hell was it then?
Depends on the subject. If someone is asking for help with an emotional problem, a four line answer won't do it. Diarrhoea by the way (from writng school absence notes) - this spell checker is American English.
YES!! Get to the point!
NO - BECAUSE IF YOU ARE TRYING TO ANSWER A SERIOUS QUESTION- AND YOU WANT TO HELP THAT PERSON THE BEST WAY THAT YOU CAN I FEEL THAT YOU SHOULD USE AS MANY WORDS AS IT TAKES TO ACHIEVE YOUR AIM. Every-body is different any-way - get off your high horse. By the way what is it like to perfect ?
Well, maybe the people have a lot to say but yes, some people's answers are WAYYYYYYY to long. But they shouldn't be too short or anything. A paragraph or two is good.
Do you think Superheroes are a product of a debased society?
