STUFF I DIDN’T KNOW: “EFFORT POSTING”

“effort post”

When a poster on an internet forum writes about their opinion, project, story or otherwise and actually takes the time to properly research, cite sources, and utilize proper diction and grammar, generally as a means to convince, sway, or otherwise argue. Usually the first response is ‘tldr’.
