Post On Modding in General
Has anyone else noticed a sudden surge of modders babysitting their threads?
They reply to every single post someone makes in their thread as soon as it is made, no matter how short the answer. Instead of waiting for five or ten comments and then compounding their reply into one post using quotes, they blorp out these little Tweets. They have made well over half of the posts in their own threads, needlessly bloating it and unfailingly pushing it to the top, still wanting more criticism.
Am I the only one bothered by this?

Well, for me it's because sometimes I get bored at work, and check out the threads. But then again, I only post when there's significant stuff discussed, like bugs or potential ideas. Most praise-only posts (omg this mod is cool, etc) goes unreplied.

I'm not. It's a topic about their mod, why shouldn't they reply as much as they want? As long as it's relevant of course.

I don't have the actual patience to compound a large post with all quotes.
I like to reply to critism immediately, praise of course doesn't usually warrant a reply from me.

I've always done that. I'll usually compound my responses as soon as there's criticism or concerns, though, as dragonxp said.

It seems so. Perhaps it's a product of stress.
