copy and pastes...

[ibn suleman]

i cant remember if ive made a poll on this before :scratch:


do you read "copy and pasted" replies in threads?

[muslimah85]

my mind naturally 'skips' them lol

[ibn suleman]

my mind naturally 'skips' them lol

lol, i think thats the case with many of us :p


im just wondering how many do actually read the looong ones....

and if no one is reading them, then maybe no one should post them :p

[peace2u]

sometimes, if they are short and interesting.

Peace

Too long and they look so drab- if you are gonna copy and paste why not refer to that link? That way the website where the information is on at least tries to make it look presentable whereas generally here people copy and paste long text in the same colour and it’s long…and sometimes they don’t put paragraphs/blocks in :mujahida:

:wswrwb: i dont mind short ones with daleel from Quran and sahih sunnah if its needed... but ... there are some copy and paste jobs ppl use as replies to discussions that are about a thread long in themselves and i automatically scroll as soon as i see them. if u cant explain it in bullet points, without a massive copy and paste job then makes me wonder do they even know what their following or talking about ..or is it just blind following.

Or whether they've even read it themselves :rolleyes:

And if they have then the suggestion of bullet poiting it shouldn't be a problem. I agree sis, i scroll down myself if it's too long. I think this is the case for the majority of users on any forum.

I am sure they post without reading because these people are unable to answer when I extract a few objectionable sentences from those long "copy-paste' material. They simply leave the thread and run away.

How about starting a thread with quotes from different threads where people run away after copy=pasting, unable to answer to objections? I wonder whether the moderators will allow this.

[.: Anna :.]

It depends... there are some c&p whch are actually very good, normally ppl tend to start a new thread with them than put them in a reply?
In middle of a thread, if its relevant and i am interested then yeh i will, altho helps if not toooo long
Also if u asked about an issue, and someone c&p relevant info for u then yes.
If they use it just to try and prove their point, but not even really applied properly to the post or somethings like that then no.. and if people paste the same one over and over again, i will infract them instead :p

Ya I do. But sometimes they are sooooooooooooo LONG with no formatting...=\ It gets...too tedious...sometimes people post some amazing stuff and I really want to read it, but its like 25PAGES of unformatted stuff.


General relativity (GR) or General theory of relativity (GTR) is the geometric theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1915/16.[1] It unifies special relativity, Newton's law of universal gravitation, and the insight that gravitational acceleration can be described by the curvature of space and time, this latter being produced by the mass-energy and momentum content of the matter in spacetime.General relativity is distinguished from other metric theories of gravitation by its use of the Einstein field equations to relate spacetime content and spacetime curvature.[2][3] The field equations are a system of partial differential equations whose solution gives the metric tensor of spacetime, describing its "shape". In the resulting geometry, an object moving inertially in a gravitational field is viewed as following a geodesic path that may be found using the Christoffel symbols of the metric. Solutions of the Einstein field equations model gravitating systems, especially important ones exhibiting spherical symmetry, notable examples being the Schwarzschild solution, the Reissner-Nordström solution and the Kerr metric.General relativity is currently the most successful gravitational theory, being almost universally accepted and well-supported by observations. General relativity's first success was in explaining the anomalous perihelion precession of Mercury. In 1919, Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington announced that observations of stars near the eclipsed Sun confirmed general relativity's prediction that massive objects bend light. Other observations and experiments have since confirmed many of the predictions of general relativity, including gravitational time dilation, the gravitational redshift of light, signal delay, gravitational radiation and the expansion of the universe. Numerous observations are also interpreted as confirming one of general relativity's most mysterious and exotic predictions, the existence of black holes.General relativity is distinguished from other metric theories of gravitation by its use of the Einstein field equations to relate spacetime content and spacetime curvature.[2][3] The field equations are a system of partial differential equations whose solution gives the metric tensor of spacetime, describing its "shape".
