Do YOU look at people's post histories before replying to/engaging with them?
Just a question, for curiosity's sake...

I'll get back to you in a bit. It's going to take awhile to go through 5864 posts.
Depends on what they say I guess. If they say something that looks like potential bait, I might check out their post history. Otherwise, nope.
Out of boredom or bewilderment. Otherwise, not really.
I don't outright check people's posting histories, but I do occasionally remember people's posts around the forums and sometimes I'll get a picture that someone is either pretty cool and trustworthy, or a bad faith actor and not worth responding to or taking seriously.
If anything I find it kinda weird to do so. Always seems to be for no other reason than to stamp someone as a <role> main and then use that as an arguement to why they're wrong and smelly, which is complete thread poison to begin with.
Nope
I'm more interested in the thread topic when I reply to somebody on a discussion. I do notice familiar faces in threads tho. Always nice to see for the most part
Couldn't care less tbh
Not long ago someone replied to me saying "judging by your post history" and I honestly found just a teeny tiny bit creepy 👁️👁️
No generally the people that post a lot I can remember at least when I see the name so it isn't needed and it's not something I can be bothered to do anyway.
Judging by your post history you clearly don't own an air fryer
I know and my life is miserable without it. Buy me one?
Bringing up post history is like dismissing an argument because of punctuation or bad grammar, thinking it's the ultimate "got'cha".
Only time I look is when they say something that contradicts what I saw them say on a previous post recently and I check to make sure that was them and I'm not mistaken. Like if they make a post saying people shouldn't be greedy for BP and BHVR shouldn't do BP events but then complain about a BP event being 1.5x instead of 2x because they aren't getting enough BP.
Just the sort of nonsense someone with your post history would come out with
Same
You didn't have to turn my notifications german just to tell me this...
No - Everyone has their own views that develop over time. I try to focus on the present not letting any history affect my bias or cause a bias. Like if it's relevant to a specific patch I get it but I personally don't find it worth my time to sift through post history unless I feel someone is on an alt account and making suspicious post. Granted I've not seen anyone on this forum that made me even consider that.
No.
Do people actually do that? Like, I've never heard about this being a thing before...
I do however occasionally do it, if I suspect them to be a troll - so about once or twice a year xD
Anyway, if anyone actually does do this, then they are going to have a nice evening with my profile, considering not just the amount but also not unusually large length of my posts xD
I do not.
Only when I'm sensing a pattern. Which feels fairly often.
Thanks for the heads-up!
I'm a bad, bad man
Ive never looked up someones post history. Although there are a few names Ive come across enough times that I remember them and can usually predict how they will respond. There's a few that I look at and think "There's no point trying to debate with this person. They are clearly a bias X main"
Considering most of the active users here have been on the forums for 3 years plus no
Only if I read an extremely flamey post to check if they are usually like that or just a one thing time, I usually try to not respond to professional flamers or baiters, its a waste of time.
No, Why should I?
not really, no
If I see a newer account with a bait post, I liked to check their history to see if there is more I can look at. It's pretty fun sometimes looking at the responses.
No because I am not a disgusting Redditor lol
Depends on the post / response / person
mostly out of curiosity though
Not unless someone claims they are a troll. Even then it's only to fact check.
if it looks like bait I'll check.
Same goes if it's a joke that would be inappropriate/hateful if they weren't being self-deprecating.
Nope. I just don't take any game's forum that seriously. They're just a central repository for complaints and whining, regardless of what game forum it is.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
I won't waste my time to reply if I found it's Sluzzy's post.
No because I'm not going to judge on a forum for a game.
No, i don't look it up but being on here quite frequently you get a feeling for people when they post similar post over a long time.
Even in this thread i see a dozen or more people I see regularly and for some i have a certain picture of their usual opinions regarding certain matters.
Just because being on these forums is wasting time, doesnt mean I have THAT much time to waste
No. Why? What do you hope in achieving with that? People can change their mind and opinion. So there is no point in digging out the post history of someone.
Not at all.
Judging by Your Post History, You CLEARLY don't have Broken Bones...
I Am Utterly Disappointed...
No, couldn’t care less about post histories.
Not really. If it's relevant and I remember their comments/posts then I'll bring it up but I have a good memory and know where people stand on DBD issues by the 1k posts mark.
Depends on the take
no. I'm not gonna be that guy that goes through hundreds of posts to find one thing from 6 months ago that even slightly contradicts the point that they are trying to make.
Only for Sluzzy when i want a laugh.
Never. If you dwell around her enough you know the typical poster and even then I always view what they say at the moment.
I myself had bad days or misunderstandings and some people might be more emotional or invested in certain topics so I can't judge them on what they say about balancing for example when we right now talk about
I've seen the post yesterday that probably prompted this thread. I guess some people are like that.
I'd typically ignore threads by new users dropping hot takes. Anyone who has been here for awhile I take them at their word unless I know otherwise.
You got me.
No? Who even has time for that? There are only like 3 people here who have consistently bad takes to the point where their post history is burned into my memory. And one is a legend, Sluzzy. I feel comfortable name dropping them because I have a positive opinion on their antics. The other two, sadly, aren't as nuanced or interesting.
I Better See Fuggin Broken Bones in Your Post History OR I SWEAR ON ME MUM,
I will call you Cute,
