Informative or lazy?

both

Difficult one really.
Its easier to post links but some apes think youre being lazy.
Put the info down and get questioned and asked to prove it.

By "some apes" do you mean, you?
The underwhelming response to this thread would indicate it not being an issue for most apes.
Links to back up this "some apes think youre being lazy" claim, please.

Surely it depends on the link?

Surely it depends on the link?

= yep. What the content actually is, whether it's actually useful, and more so, whether the poster is
scoring affiliate £££££ by posting it...

There's far too much 'covert shilling' going on on here - that's a 'real' problem, as opposed to people just being
lazy...

It'd be churlish to complain about a helpful and informative link as lazy. Crap link is crap though.

This thread is pointless without links

If a link covers something you said...

Eg- I just bought a mod for £X, here is the link or heard of a new steeping method, here in the link.

Great.

If it's some badly translated click bait crap...

Eg- Top 5 Tanks in 2018 which no one has ever heard of or came out 3 years ago

That's a piss take and deserves ridicule.
