Wall of text

This page has been categorized as tl;dr A wall of text is a long, hard-to-read post that lacks paragraphs. It is usually seen in the form of rants or stories about sexual relationships.

A wall of text is 99.99% of the time followed with "tl;dr". tl;dr stands for "too long; didn't read". When someone makes a really long post, some CEtizens cannot be bothered to read the whole thing, so they post this instead. To prevent this, users who post a long message put an abridged version of the wall of text at the end of their post to appease the people who are too lazy to read the real version. They also sometimes notify the user in the topic title that there is a wall of text inside or they inb4 wall of text.

When used as a response to a long post, tl;dr is considered both rude and moddable.

Example
User1: I don't know the number of people who will read these words or what number will hear and heed my message. Regardless, it is imperative that as many people as possible learn that merciless ideas are continually escaping the confines of Current Events' (obviously very weak) mind. For complete details, I refer you to my forthcoming book on the subject. I shall here mention only a few random items that may be new or especially interesting to you. For instance, in public, Current Events vehemently inveighs against corruption and sin. But when nobody's looking, Current Events never fails to reinforce the impression that stupid nudniks—as opposed to Current Events's yes-men—are striving to invade every private corner and force every thought into an inane mold. Current Events seems to assume that its way of life is correct and everyone else's isn't. This is an assumption of the worst kind because it teaches workshops on nepotism. Students who have been through the program compare it to a Communist re-education camp. Be that as it may, I wish I didn't have to be the one to break the news that Current Events would love to see college campuses morph into small, ivy-covered North Koreas in which the student or faculty member who dares to bear the flambeau of freedom quickly finds himself in a heap of legal trouble. Nevertheless, I cannot afford to pass by anything that may help me make my point. So let me just state that Current Events would have you believe that scornful, arrogant guttersnipes should be fêted at wine-and-cheese fund-raisers. I have already, for the present at least, sufficiently answered the climatic part of this proposition and have only to add that Current Events operates on an international scale to use paid informants and provocateurs to fleece us. It's only fitting, therefore, that we, too, work on an international scale, but to listen to others. A colleague recently informed me that a bunch of clumsy numskulls and others in Current Events's amen corner are about to champion censorship in the name of free speech, intolerance in the name of tolerance, and oppression in the name of freedom. I have no reason to doubt that story because Current Events' spin doctors are quick to point out that because Current Events is hated, persecuted, and repeatedly laughed at, it is the real victim here. The truth is that, if anything, Current Events is a victim of its own success—a success that enables Current Events to strip the world of conversation, friendship, and love. I recently heard a famous celebrity—I forgot which one—say, "There is little doubt that Current Events should practice what it preaches." That's such a great quote, I wish I had been the one who thought of it. Sadly, the cleverest thing I ever said was that Current Events is more than merely mingy. It's über-mingy. In fact, Current Events is so mingy that I oppose its excuses because they are unpatriotic. I oppose them because they are saturnine. And I oppose them because they will appropriate sacred symbols for lousy purposes within a short period of time. Current Events doesn't want to acknowledge that blasphemous flakes demand the advantages other people have earned without the disadvantages, like having to earn them. In fact, Current Events would rather block all discussion on the subject. I suppose that's because if I had my druthers, it would never have had the opportunity to sound the standard "they're out to get us" call and rally its torchbearers to teach mealymouthed concepts to children. As it stands, he who pays the piper calls the tune. With that in mind, I did a little research to find where Current Events gets its money. It turns out that it comes primarily from unrealistic extortionists, frightful degenerates, and—you guessed it—covinous vulgarians. This explains why the last time I heard Current Events ramble on in its characteristically bibulous blather it said something about wanting to set up dissident groups and individuals for conspiracy charges and then carry out searches and seizures on flimsy pretexts. I feel sorry for the human race when I hear stuff like that. I would like to go on, but I do have to keep this letter short. So I'll wrap it up by saying that a large percentage of Current Events' helpers can be termed unimaginative.

User2: tl;dr

How to avoid being tl;dr'd
Simply space out your paragraphs so it isn't one huge wall of text and don't go into huge details all at once. If you are writing a story about how your dog got lost, don't tell CE all about the little kid who thought he was a cat unless they ask.
