Boxxi The Brony 119 July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 I hate it when people do it to rank up, are you supposed to report it though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aureity 3,055 July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 If their posts are well thought-out and on-topic, then no. They aren't really post whoring so much as just posting a lot. On the other hand, if they're spamming random, off-topic posts that don't contribute much to the thread at all, then by all means go ahead and report the posts. 11 A lil' Catherine <(^.^)> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox 5,330 July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 I've seen someone accumulate over 1000 posts in about a months time.... Crazy, but I do agree with Aureity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxxi The Brony 119 July 5, 2012 Author Share July 5, 2012 I just hate when people randomly post three word things in the forum saying stuff like "lol waffle power" with no grammar so it looks more like "lel werkfle perer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the posts are of good quality there's no reason to report it. 1 I'd like to thank the MLP Vector Club for the images used in my avatar.

Cadence Sparkle 102 July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 From experience, people who type 3 words in into a post is only newer people, either since they have never been on a forum before or they REALLY want to get out of blank flank. It does get really annoying. 3 Sunshine, Sunshine ladybugs awake, clap your hooves and do a little shake! - Princess Cadence and Twilight Sparkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akemi Homura 7,680 July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 (edited) There was a filter introduced to limit the amount of posts that could be posted at fixed intervals (I think it was 15 seconds per post). That way, post whoring could be kept to a minimum even if it was on-topic and of decent quality. if anything, that encourages people to make lengthier and descriptive posts that could obviously be of more high quality compared to some of the more... shorter posts. While we don't ban short posts outright, you'd have to make sure that it's on topic and not of a one-word response (or anything vague) as otherwise, it's highly subject to deletion possibly without warning. I personally would recommend everyone to at least try to make their posts longer, as it almost always provides more depth to discussions at hand, but of course you shouldn't do this if you feel that you have nothing else to contribute to. Also, might I point out that you should always try to post for the sake of discussions and topics at hand, and not for the sake of increasing your post count nor attempting to increase in rank, as that says a lot about what your intentions are on this Forum.

Finesthour 7,287 July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 Post whoring =/= Spammers. Understand people that SPAM to get a rank up are not post whores. I AM in fact a post whore. But my posts are actually credible, unlike a spammers. So bah humbug to you comparing whores to spammers. Even whores have standards! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiance64 7,053 July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 It's not really that bad around here, most people eventually learn they need to be quality posters here from what I've seen, and sad to say the people who don't learn usually don't stay around long anyways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finesthour 7,287 July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 If you're posts are credible, wouldn't you not be a be a post whore? I LIKE to see my post counter go up. I love to post as much as possible to do so. WHORING IS DOING SOMETHING BECAUSE YOU ENJOY IT. Do you think curbside hookers spam for enjoyment? Nope. I am a whore because my post counter is special to me. Spammers could give two shits. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunni 1,075 July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 [insert something about this topic to hide my motives of secretly being a post-whore.] All jokes aside: I find post-whoring to be more than stupid. Mainly because you make yourself look like a complete tool with a possible 1000+ posts and only 10-50 brohoofs to show that you never really put any effort or thoughts into your posts. But that's just my opinion, and I could be completely wrong. Pic related to what I am doing right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finesthour 7,287 July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 Now I am confused again ... Spammers are people who post to rank up just to wake up. Post whores post because they love posting and to see their post counters rise. Spammers =/= Post whores. And you saying you hate post whores mean you hate me, but you described spammers. So so much wat. [insert something about this topic to hide my motives of secretly being a post-whore.] All jokes aside: I find post-whoring to be more than stupid.

Someone didn't get the point.. I was talking about how the post/brohoof ratio could help determine whether or not someone is post-whoring or not. It's not rocket science y'know .

FedoraMemes 582 July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 Spammers are post-whores, people who post a lot aren't. However, if the post doesn't have any proper contribution to the thread, then report it.

It's not rocket science y'know . You're escaping your own point. Post whoring is someone posting for SATISFACTION of posting. Spamming is for getting a new rank, no satisfaction.

Vicke 3,189 July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 Post whores gotta post, so they can get their, satisfaction Anyhow, as long as the posts sticks to the subject i have no problems with it.But i know a few people who can get really random and start posting random crap that noone really cares about then just them.I never report it because i'm pretty sure nothing will happen if i do. 1 Signature made by Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxxi The Brony 119 July 5, 2012 Author Share July 5, 2012 I think everyone likes to see there post counter go up, but spammers post just for that reason, spam for fun, spammers in my eyes are people who post chain type stuff, post whores are people who only practically LIVE to rank up in the forums, yes they do both get satisfaction from it. Yeah like just posting waffles in 60 forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
