I will try to "engage" the community more just to make you happy.

It isn’t about my happiness. You have a habit of posting once and then abandoning ship. Moderators noticed. Users noticed. So, that’s now over.

It seems odd to me that one is required to "engage" when starting a thread. I mean one can say everything one has to say about any given topic in one post. I don't understand the logic behind making an engagement in the thread as a mandatory requirement.

Now don't get me wrong, in actual threads I personally always end up engaging as I think of new things to add to the debate or as I try and debunk attacks, agree or disagree with others etc....

It's just that making it a requirement seems a bit odd.

Perhaps I should ask the question the other way around: What harm is there in starting a topic and not adding any more to it? Especially if the other people keep the thread alive? It's not like your lack of engagement would kill the thread if other people keep it alive.
