DN Roll Call

almost 8 years ago from Jeff Escalante, Engineer @ Carrot

Inspired by the "who's hiring" and "let's see your portfolio" posts which simply generate enormous lists of hundreds comments for which some people might read the first 10 or so, and nobody will ever see any of the ones after that, I present to you the first designer news roll call.

That's right, this is low commitment stuff: just post "here" as a comment so that we know you are present. Sure, it might not be the most productive thing ever but it's an easy way to get involved in the community and get your comment count up ; )

It's posts like this that degrade the quality of content on DN. In no way does this benefit the community or provide any useful or meaningful content. The goal of DN is to provide an outlet to share inspiring and useful content, and to provide opportunities for the facilitation of meaningful discussion.

  hahah my friend, this is a joke. read the post carefully. this is just making fun of other stupid posts that are endless feeds of self-promotion that nobody reads and are constantly sitting at the top of DN (there's one there now).
  If this does well, I will add a note about this to the post to spread a good message. I'm a troll, I won't deny that, but I'm a troll trying to make the world a better place in the end ; )

    Joke or not, it adds to the noise and displaces other more interesting content. If you're trying to speak out against the increase of meaningless self-promotion, write a post about that.

      You are really entirely missing the point. It's ok though I'm not really willing to continue this debate in order to make it more clear. You can be mad about this, some people always are. I am sorry for making you mad. But to be fair, why don't you also leave nasty comments on the 120+ comment chain of people posting their personal websites, and the javascript plugin that changes the names of minified variables in a google analytics plugin? I feel like those are also not really providing you with much benefit to your life.

        I'm not mad and I didn't feel like I was being nasty. Just trying to say that maybe adding to the noise in the form of satire doesn't have as strong of an impact on eradicating the problem as facilitating an actual discussion about the issue would have. Writing posts like this isn't going to help put an end to those meaningless 120+ comment chains.

No "I'm just here so I don't get fined jokes"? Is that dead already?
