I have a problem with this because Im like I can read 200 posts or so in like 10 minutes, and by the time I read them all its been 30 minutes and theres been 100 new posts. I gotta learn to skim more often

#64

I normally read the whole thread at least 3 times.

Read them quickly and see if they immediately jump out to (ping) you as being wolfy then read them in more depth.

No don’t listen to Icibalus

Icibalus is being a bad role model right now

#71

Stuff that is often not considered when making reads but should be more often:

  • Tone
  • Thread Climate
  • VCA
  • Possible Motivations

I should point out that if you have time you really ought to read the thread. It’s just that in a pinch it’s better to skimread them first for context before going back and looking at them in more depth.

I always want to remember this but I just don’t when making reads.

Thread Climate reads are, at their most basic, when the post sticks out like a sore thumb in terms of content to the other posts being posted at the same time despite it not being the user re-enterring the thread (or some other innocuous explanation). As an example, somebody posting a two-paragraph post during an ITA session, or stuff like that.

Vote Count Analysis is a big topic, and it’s a good one to get onto right now.
