Check-in thread for DUers who hate check-in threads
seriously people, do we really need these threads here? I can understand if it was something like "Check-in thread for DUers who support the rights of one-eyed midgets" or "Check-in thread for DUers who still think the earth is flat". But do we really need to check in that we want the war in Iraq/Afghanistan to end or that we want the Bush criminals to be punished for their actions? I think that pretty much goes without saying here.

9. The "check in" and "Rec this" threads get old fast.
Posters with so little to say have to beg to get Recs or even to get their thread read.

"Check in if you believe people should breathe".
"Rec this if you believe in clean air".

10. They're annoying
"Me too" threads are the worst.

A post asking people to stop posting them is probably going to make people post more of them.

11. I don't get it. Is it really that difficult to simply NOT click on such threa if they annoy you?
There are plenty of threads I don't click on. It's actually easy to do, or not do, as the case may be. Try it, you might well be surprised at how easy it is and how well it works. :eyes:
