I posted this in general discussion and of course got no feedback. Woke up this morning still annoyed about it.
See, August has international quitters which means we try to flip the roll for them occasionally to share the burden. That, and I manage the links in our default post a certain way that requires updates. Every time you go into august and over-post your bullshit 11:50 support, you're overriding the updates I made and erasing shit like our question of the day. Also you're erasing the efforts we make as a team to share the burden of flipping our roll.
Again, I don't want or need your support at 11:59PM.
Blanket Posting at End of Day:
I have noticed a trend over the past few weeks, since I've had a reason to be on the site late into the evenings. What's the deal with all these 'vets' just blanket posting support across every single month at the end of the night? TBH I find it disrespectful, because we tell quitters that they need to WUPP or their promise doesn't mean shit. That's how I feel about this practice. Your support doesn't mean shit to me if your dropping it in at 11:45PM and quite frankly I resent my group being used to bolster your post count.
And if you're going to do it, at least have the decency not to post over a flipped roll.
I guess I know where I'll be every night at 11:59PM
well played
Valid point. Any vets want to chime in?
The vets that post support across multiple groups at the end of the day typically WUPP but come back when family/personal life allows to show support to other groups. While maybe it would be ideal if everyone had time in the mornings, posting support can occur at any time of the day to express solidarity with groups, both old and new.
I doubt the majority of those exhibiting this behavior are doing it bolster a post count. They are taking time out of their day to post in groups outside of their own. While I understand your position, I'd challenge you to be thankful for their presence at any time of the day and maybe share digits with a couple of them. I miss people posting support in my group; we have a handful of loyal supports each day but not to the volume there once was.
You can't control who comes into your group and posts support. If they are posting over an already flipped roll, either reach out to them and ask them to be more aware or maybe re-evaluate if roll is being flipped too "early" in the evening.
All this being said, it would be common courtesy for someone posting support to withhold posting after seeing roll has been flipped, or to go grab the last post from that day (before the roll flip) and post support in that way. After which then, they should bump forward the new roll for the next day.
