I KNOW RIGHT.

PEOPLE JUDGING THINGS ON THE INTERNET. HOW COULD THEY.

IAWTP.

Also, great Harry Potter reference there ;)

No, IA, I think it's pretty fucking rude to people who's secrets actually got posted. Most of the time, it just means "none of my secrets got posted/nothing to do with my fandom/needs moar trolls."

Agreed.

Yep this.

Agreed. Not only rude, but disrespectful and hurtful. And so many people use the excuse of "psh, there's so much worse comments!" which is just pathetic. Just because other people are rude does not give you blanket permission to do the same.

To me, a secret post is boring if there aren't any secrets for fandoms I'm interested in/secrets that generate a lot of wank (because it doesn't have to be for my fandom if there's a large amount of wank -- that interests me regardless).

Just . . . if there aren't any secrets that I feel like commenting on/reading the comments for, then I find it boring. Sorry, OP.

(Also, I applaud you for the HP reference. Ron said that about Percy in Goblet of Fire, didn't he?)

I second this.

I general don't feel the need to state that a post is boring.
But it is boring to me if there aren't any secrets for fandoms I'm interested or secrets that generate a lot of want.

I third this.
I can't help it that sometimes I'm not interested in what half the secrets are about.

I always figured it means "I don't know any of these fandoms"...

You're telling me it's not?

I would love for secrets to wear tea-cosies and dance naked.

Boring post = secrets for fandoms I don't care about.

But good Harry Potter reference there.

I find different things interesting, but I think it would be silly to actually complain about boring posts in a community like this. Fandom interests aside, I tend to like the secrets about what the OP did or how they were affected more than what the OP thought, and so when there's more of the former it's more interesting, but there are so many exceptions.

But I would guess most of the complainers mean there's no fandom interests or good trolls.

I understand that different people have different interests, and therefor different posts will interest different people.

Sure, it's a bit disappointing when I've been looking forward to a post but there's nothing in it that interests me. However, I fully get that other people might find something in it that interests them, and so there's no loss. Hell, a lot of posts that had a bunch of "Nothing interesting today" comments were posts that contained some of the secrets I found the most memorable. I get that what I find interest is not the same as what other people are going to find interesting.

I say a post is boring if there are no secrets I feel like commenting on.

I generally consider it boring if there's nothing I'm inclined to comment on, but I also understand that we don't all have the same interests. Some of those boring for me posts get like 1200 comments, so whatever floats your boat.

IA AND A+ HARRY POTTER REFERENCE.

how do you not know what boring means. it means it is not of interest to the person.

I assume most people don't even read the secrets

I find a lot of posts fairly boring because I'm in so few fandoms/generally not up to date with the latest New Cool Things. What I don't really get is why people feel the need to comment on it. It's like... okay, thanks for telling us? What does this contribute exactly?

I know, I know, F!S isn't serious business. But people commenting on posts to say "I don't care about the content of this post!" is kind of a pet peeve of mine in general.

We want wank and drama.

Also, speaking personally, "secrets" that have a lame-o "MY FRIENDS WOULD SHUN ME IF THEY KNEW" justification that is added CLEARLY just to avoid being thrown in the "not-secrets" pile make me :|-face like nothing else.

They also make up like 70% of the secrets here though, so.

Slightly off topic... but is there a way to ensure that the secrets will wear a tea cozy and dance naked?

Asking for a friend.

We'd have less boring posts if you stopped making boring secrets like this. Dick.

Really though, it's subjective. If I don't get at least a laugh every thirty seconds I'm here, it's a boring post. That and if they just don't interest me (the recent chunk of SMT secrets do). Also, brb figuring out the science required to make a secret in some form of a naked person wearing a tea cosy.

DEAR CHRIST SOMEONE CALLED SOMETHING BORING ON THE INTERNET ;_;
