"NF" Suffix on answers to "General" questions?

Asked by stranger_in_a_strange_land (18360points) May 7th, 2010

The “new regime” on content in answers to “General” questions has outlawed most humorous and all “off-topic” responses (even if “whispered”). To avoid being drawn off-topic, I’ve adopted this strategy with “General” questions: I’ll make a serious reply, then scroll to the top and press the “stop following” button. Since this cuts off any possibility of discussion, I’m adding NF (not following) at the end of my answer, to indicate that I’m not following the question and any comments should be directed to me via PM. This will save other members the trouble of writing comments directed to me that I’ll not read.

It’s an attempt to be polite to other users and a way of indicating to the “powers that be” the consequences of the new policy. I used to actively follow all questions, refining and expanding my answers. No longer.

Who is with me in this?
