All joints should be continues dab. This has been standard practice for a few years now.

people need to understand that using scrim tape on joints is not a 100% guarantee that you wont get movement, it only minimises the risk of it happening......if somethings gonna move it will move no matter how solid it appears to be fixed, even the boards themselves can expand and contract.

I'd be very surprised if site monkeys are doing solid perimeter dabs on new builds

Sponging? weakens the plaster more likely to crack on joint.
