I understand not being big on backtagging, but if you can barely handle a small thread or have responded to a post you've made, you shouldn't be making another one just to make AC or because you feel like it. It is incredibly discouraging and very inconsiderate of other people.

Importance is subjective. What you are essentially saying right now is that all the threads (including mine) that I have seen dropped are not important. I do understand that advancing along a plot line and keeping up with canonmates comes first, but I have found that there are a number of people at Poly that are particularly bad about posting or commenting, keeping it up for a comment or two, dropping it, then starting a new post or commenting all over. I do believe that the AC standards partially are to blame for this sort of behavior so I am willing to let it slide a certain amount.

I really do hope that you're earnest about
