Ummm... are most people who post a thread expecting people to respond? Could you give a description of "click-baiting" that isn't ridiculously broad?

Huh? Let's say Alice says a confidently incorrect thing to Bob, and Charlie then takes a screenshot and posts it here. My original understanding, and I think the most straightforward interpretation, is that it's against your instructions if Charlie's post is clickbaity. Do you instead mean that if Bob engaging in clickbaity behavior to get Alice to say something confidently incorrect, then THAT is against your instructions? Because if so, I think that merits clarification/
And BTW, are you aware that what you gave as an example has been removed?

So the interpretation "It's against your instructions if Charlie's post is clickbaity" is correct? Are there people posting questions on r/confidentlyincorrect trying to get people to be confidently incorrect?
They are, but not often. What there are is common posts on other platforms which are designed specifically to get people to engage with incorrect answers, by being deliberately duplicitous. BODMAS style posts are a good example, where the answer is ambiguous.
What does BODMAS mean?

🤣 I'm so lazy, sorry. I usually use PEMDAS, so I never heard of it.
Oh my God! I've only been asking for this for like 18 months. Thank you!
How do we get "news" outlets to do this? Please? Anyone?
🙏 bless

đź–•there's my version, since you did the same
Yes
I tried looking for a way to direct message the mods, but couldn't find one. I was hoping for clarification on rule 8. Does it count if one only got involved after the point of the screenshot?
I mean, it is subjective. Try and see?
What does BODMAS mean?
Shouldn’t this just be a rule for all of the internets?
So nothing from Newsweek then?

You're doing a good job. Just ignore him. Thanks for this change you've made.
Hmm it seems like it's saying no math
They're saying no intentionally confusing arithmetic problems. There's a lot more to math than that.
How confident about that are you?
