death, taxes, and this guy only ever posting if something bad happens but also literally never putting anything in the body copy of the post just linking to an article.

You can't add text when submitting a link post.

Edit: Or if you can add text, I don't know how.

assuming you’re posting on mobile, createa text post and then select the add link button above the keyboard. for someone that posts as much as you do, you could put in a minimum amount of effort.

It has nothing to do with a lack of effort. I don't post on mobile, and the option you mentioned is not available on desktop.

I would like to add text to a link post.

neat, that’s plainly untrue. create a text post, and the third option from the left on your toolbar there? right after bold and italics? that’s a link. just add the link into a text post.

You lose the picture doing it that way.

And how about discussing the topic? You are purposefully derailing.

“you lose the picture doing it that way”?? so you admit that your intent is not to inform, just to stir the pot. at least you’re being forthright for once.

You are a troll. Discuss the topic or go elsewhere.

so first you tell me something isn’t possible, then you tell me you’d rather not do it, then i’m a troll. if you’re going to make an argument at least have the conviction to see it through.

Previous_Floor OP t1_j7hspqa wrote

And how/what I post is none of your business.

Previous_Floor OP t1_j7hsay0 wrote

You're not even making sense.

losing the picture = intent to stir the pot?????

And not sure about r/providence, but what you've suggested (adding commentary to a news submission) is against the rules in r/RhodeIsland. Regardless, your suggestion is not the proper way to submit a link post.

Additionally, there is a difference when posting from mobile versus desktop.

And you're a troll because you are only here to cause trouble.

i explained how to do it on desktop youre now being intentionally obtuse.

Previous_Floor OP t1_j7i4822 wrote

Your suggestion is not the appropriate way to do it...and would violate the rules in the sister subreddit (again, not sure about here).

But why are you even making these odd suggestions? Just looking for something to whine about? Can't find a GoLocal post to complain about? Bored? Or simply trying to get people to forget about the shooting?

so you openly admit that you aren’t aware of the rules of this subreddit, and then claim that they should be the same as another subreddit simply because… they’re geographically linked? my suggestions are that if you’re going to post articles, why not add something to the conversation instead of just dropping your crap and leaving it for others to discuss?

Previous_Floor OP t1_j7ihams wrote

Here's the thing, dude. Contrary to the nonsense you're spewing, I often do add information in the comments (street views, neighborhood info, updates, etc.).

I never claimed they should be the same. I am unsure if they are the same. Rule 5 in r/providence is Mod discretion. That means everything doesn't need to be spelled out.

Regardless, I am perfectly content with my posting style and have no plans to change it.

I read through this whole weird back and forth, and at one point later on you say that it would be against the rules to add text to a link post… but here you say that you would like to do it and you just can’t? Really having a tough time keeping your stories straight here.

It's not your concern. Run along. You're not even from RI.

So strange, both previous_floor and orangefan71 are both ranting about alt accounts at the same exact times. So very strange. What are the odds?

Damn. That's not even a bad area of Pawtucket. Nor was the shooting that happened a few nights ago.
