A literal Drama retard's guide (aka written for you) to using the ?context tag

132 2018-01-11 by ModsMicroPeen

A lot of you stupid fuckwits are linking to individual threads, which is good because it's easier to spot the drama rather than being a lazy fuck like me and linking to comments sorted by controversial (if I even feel like doing that much). However, you fucking morons aren't using the ?context tag which requires all of us drama llamas to laboriously click on "parent" until it becomes apparent what the fuck is going on.

Let's use an example. Let's say you are convicted pedophile /u/CultOfCuck and you make this post linking to a specific thread on /r/pics.

So you click on the link, with a semi-chub, eagerly awaiting the SJW drama, and you see this post:

My son was born with a big set of balls, but we’re letting him decide if he wants to be a fax machine or a couch but he has to decide before he turns 3

Now, you're confused, because the /r/pics image says:

Your Inability to Grasp Science is NOT A Valid Argument Against It

So what does one thing have to do with another? Frantically, you click "Parent" a few times and you see the entire chain:

Only 2 genders

Nuh uh genders can be created by anyone out of thin air.

My son was born with a big set of balls, but we’re letting him decide if he wants to be a fax machine or a couch but he has to decide before he turns 3

Now it makes a bit more sense (actually, not really).

This entire disaster could have been averted if the fucking retard /u/CultOfCuck were smart enough to use the context tag.

The context tag will still highlight the post in question in yellow, however it will also show you upthread for a certain number of posts.

If /u/CultOfCuck had linked to this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/7pdblv/argument_from_ignorance/dsggoyz/?context=2

Instead of this

https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/7pdblv/argument_from_ignorance/dsggoyz/

Then the context of the thread in question would have been apparent immediately by clicking through.

To use, click on Permalink to get the URL of the post in question, then add ?context=X where X is the number of upthread messages to display. X can be up to and including 10, I believe.

In conclusion, go fuck yourself.

why is the bot literally the best consistent poster

1 ItsSugar 2018-01-11

Because the bar is low enough that showing up is all it takes.

It's more likely than you think.

1 UnluckyImp22 2018-01-11

And for your own safety, be sure to always use an np. link instead of www.

1 shallowm 2018-01-11

The worst thing is when people put www.np., which triggers an insecure connection warning.

It's not a tag, it's an URL parameter.

Since there's no applicable conflicting technical term called "tag" in this context, I overrule your objection and allow it.

1 wow___justwow 2018-01-11

overruled your 9th circuit shit with my supreme court dick.

1 backltrack 2018-01-11

You could be a really shitty rap artist. Pursue your dreams whitey

1 wow___justwow 2018-01-11

_if it's not a rapper that I make it as

Imma be a fuckin' rapist in a Jason mask_

1 backltrack 2018-01-11

That was very white. Well done

1 PantherChamp 2018-01-11

You're right. OP needs to be strung up for his crime

1 CultOfCuck 2018-01-11

Hey fuck you I just got back from drinking IRL and you were digitally harassing me? (((Alert the press at once.)))

I may try harder if you send me more booze.

Also I just used the existing SRS link, so really, go blame them fuckface. :P

Protip: If you have RES, you get an option to show more context on the top of the comment chain.

1 Ed_ButteredToast 2018-01-11

use RES

Lol I was suppose to link this https://i.imgur.com/6M7AKOW.png

1 serialflamingo 2018-01-11

That seems about as relevant as the last link.

1 Ed_ButteredToast 2018-01-11

looking for relevance

lol

1 Mort_DeRire 2018-01-11

That involves effort, and anybody who exhibits effort here is automatically a tryhard, and tryhards are losers. We hold these truths to be self evident.
