Seems I'm Developing a Peeve

I've been on Fanfiction.Net a lot more than usual recently. (I go through phases over there. But I have been writing a bit of new fic lately, so there it is.)

But UGH! Why are there so many people on that site who insist on treating their FF.N profile like a blog page?

Seriously!

By the time I scroll down what feels like miles of self-surveys, favorite pairings, quiz results (!), and other mind-numbing personal information (One member even detailed a fight she'd had with her mother!), I've completely forgotten why I clicked on their profile to begin with!

It's a profile, people! Keep it simple and short. If you want a blog, get an LJ. Something that allows cut-tags, for goodness sake! *headdesk*

Upper right of the screen, just under "help" is a little bitty link text that says "hide bio".

It's been there a while, in response to that very problem. ...why they didn't just implement a character limit, I do not know. x_x

Ah! Thank you, dear. I never seemed to need such a thing before, which is probably why I never noticed. But it just seems so prevalent lately! (You're right! There should definitely be a limit.)
