ATRL: STOP using tragedies to get a hit thread.

Venus Temple

It is so tacky and distasteful. I know some people genuinely want to discuss it but others who search old news just to find the most gruesome headline possible are sick. You are using them. And people have nerve to pair it with a sassy gif? I honestly can't believe ATRL sometimes.
Just stop. We all see you and what you're trying to do, it's transparent af.

People do it everywhere: Twitter, Facebook, YouTube. I mean, someone already uploaded a compilation of Robin Williams' best moments in the wake of his death... The good thing about ATRL, at least, is that the behavior can be moderated.

V3$$3L.

Ironic.

But I definitely second this notion.

that G.U.Y.

You don't tell me what do do!

I agree.

I do NOT need to hear about anyone drinking a liquified corpse after it stew in a water tank for weeks or a man microwaving his daughter or some of the things I've read.

It's rather unsettling.

Mezter

Yeah, I agree.

Skywalker

Completely agreed.

I come on here for pop music and a kii, not to have all this gruesome news pushed in my face. I know some of it is understandable, but searching for old topics and posting one after another is messy as all hell. If I wanted to read that, I'd go on Liveleak or 4Chan

Gather them.

we do have personal filters. If we see something like a click bait, don't click.

I'm glad a lot of people here understand what I'm saying.

Losing my ground

Now YOU are using this tragic situation on ATRL for a hit thread.

I see you

Ferrer

You are so right sis.

Preach!

Madam X

I agree 100%.

Ugh yes I have been complaining about the sad/tragic threads being posted in lounge for months now. I don't need to hear about some awful murder or rape or animal abuse. I don't come on here to see that **** so stop it. I wish the mods would start warning people that post news stories like that. This is a music forum. It isn't a place for disturbing news so get out with that.

Quiqui4eva

Agreed!

NLX

Preach.

Chileno

Preach hermana

Speak the truth

I agree. I mean obviously not every news story should be sunshine and rainbows but it seems like some people intentionally seek out the most depressing stories all for the sake of scoring hit threads or bumming people out. It's very upsetting.
