Reading But Not Replying

RBNR is used in a chatzone where someone reads a message and doesn't reply.

Here's an example of someone Reading But Not Replying in a chat;

19:01 Dan: Hello? (READ 19:02)
19:03 Dan: I know your there:L (READ 19:03)
19:04 Dan: rbnr? (UNREAD)

read only

The mode your brain goes into after drinking too much. Much like file protections on a PC. A sub-state of Read/Write mode, which people normally operate in.

I really did that? I must have gone read only pretty early after those lemon drop shots.

Read the Room

Screen read

On Whatsapp, When you read messages on your Home Screen as they come in instead of going into the chat where chatmates can see if you read their messages or not.

You: Yo David, how did you know Andrew wanted backend access to the website? I didn’t see you read the chat.

David: I didn’t go into the chat but I did a screen read so I knew what was happening without going into the chat.
