Tapas should change the 'Binge' section into 'Complete'

[Reth]

i don't know this might be a bad idea, don't trust me.

I don't think that's a bad idea. Some people oppose the term "binge" because of its negative connotations with alcoholism or unhealthy behaviours.
Complete certainly more clearly gets across the meaning, since I remember there being confusion over whether "binge" meant complete series or just really long ones, and plus "complete" is probably an easier word for people who have English as a second language, because it's a more common English word.

There are some pretty good reasons to change it.

Alcoholism, isn't that Finland ideology

that why Finland was the happiest country

This is the proof: https://youtu.be/8yHPvMA1BNE

I don't know about Finland, but here in the UK, binge drinking is a pretty serious problem actually...

[Lensing]

I can second that, I played in Tampere a couple of times and I have been on tour with bands from Finland.
It´s crazy

I live in Finland, alcoholism is a problem, I've seen stuff on my way to school.........

As a comic binger, I'm ambivalent. The appeal of bingeing for me is to get to the end of a complete arc in one sitting, without a billion stop gaps that makes me forget what happened in the last episode. Complete comics accomplish this, but so do long, incomplete stories that have at least 1 arc completed. But if you're at the end of the current updates for a long comic, you can hardly binge it anymore, yes?

Since sections are supposed to be discovering stuff you haven't read before, I'm leaning towards including long, incomplete comics, since a new reader can always binge those. But complete comics would then be a subset, so including both would feel a bit redundant ... hmm, I dunno :'D

Judging from this user's post history, I genuinely think they're either a troll, or someone who thinks "Lol I'm edgy and random!" is a funny personality.

[Lev404]

@aqua03 did I ask, that is a completely unnecessary comment yk

[redfish]

Bro that was really uncalled for and rude

[aqua03]

Ah, I think I might have misinterpreted your post. I thought you were upset at them seemingly making light of an issue where you live. Apologies if it seemed like I was coming off as needlessly rude.

[aqua03]

Yeah... Maybe I did speak out of turn there. Though the fact that the user just drops bare bones questions and either doesn't interact or responds with a snide remark when they do respond kind of has raised a few eyebrows with me and other users if that makes sense, but you're probably right that this wasn't the thread to talk about it here.

[Lev404]

@aqua03 oh yeah that's partly my fault when I ask questions I usually never respond to the answers cos Idk how to answer lmao, its like I feel like it would be weird to respond to every answer "oh ok thank you"

[aqua03]

yeah, I get that. Interacting on the internet can be tricky due to the lack of a lot of elements face to face communication as like emotion and expression and the like. So again, apologies if I was coming off as rude or jumping the gun on anything before getting the full story. I 100% get where you're coming from regarding that.

[nathanKmcwilliams]

To be fair to @aqua03 , last year there were a lot of troll accounts on the forums in a row. It makes me cagey sometimes too.

[Reth]

idk that a good observation or some sort of hate but that kinda scary, don't do that in real life ok?
