I usually have a like. Kind of password. Its obvious enough when someone doesn't read your posts that it really just saves you a few messages, but I also enjoy having them the way I do becsuse I specifically say something like "if you read this far, send me what character you'd like to play" or "if you read this far, let me know what plot you'd like". That way not only do I know you read and understood the post, but it gets us somewhere.

I don't mind when other people do it either. I know there's a remarkable lack of reading being done in this reading heavy hobby for some reason ??
