This is a discussion on "Me too!!!" in the Top Mud Sites Advanced MUD Concepts forum :

I would like to take a moment to point out that post counts can be upped rather quickly in one of the storyteller's threads.  I remember something that started with an elf and ended up with Mickey Mouse beating the crap out of a pink elephant in a crowded bar... one line responses and such. In another, I went from 12 posts to 62 in 48 hours on the old system when we had a long discussion on the legal board about Diku and IMC... and I didn't respond a quarter as much as some of the people ...

Its not all that particularly difficult to up your count in a legit way, and I am sure some of those 200+ posters did so.  I believe the issue is the 'lol' and 'me too' posts that are cropping up in normal threads.

As for this thread: Xanferious, as I have stated repeatedly before, you evidently never learned basic consideration of others. Consider that our most prolific posters that people here appreciate and want to post have less than 50 posts - at least, most of them do - right now. You have over 200, and are probably going to break 250 today. That will probably be over 5 times what type of posting we want here.

Now, that means 5 of those people have to step up and post once each to give a 1 to 1 signal/noise ratio. Combined with Seth, you guys create a terribly low signal/noise ratio. A large part of the forums, even Moderators, are asking you guys to stop this spamming of the forums. You yourself, and Ingham, both admitted to it in earlier threads. I can bust out my caches of them even if you both deleted them, so you can't go that route. Take your medicine. You are acting somewhat like Vryce did when TMC threatened to take down Medievia, or Micheal Mihaely with his false advertisement - like a small child with his hand in the cookie jar, insisting that he was putting a cookie BACK, not taking one out!

-D
sorry to burst ure bubble no admin asked me to stop spamming, cuz I dont spam maybe if you also read other people's replies they agree that I dont Spam! and would you quite B******* about post counts, your one of the few people that is totally concern about the freaking count. you talk about consideration , you also have none, I hardly flamed anyone until now. and I have never admitted to spamming so go re read those threads. I admit I rant rave and flame, so do us all a favor stop crying over spilt milk change that diaper that your wearing and suck on your bottle.

Well, he has a point. The big guys who post, the ones that I allways look for their opinions, namely Thoric, Neranz Leveranai, and the like, dont post that often anyway. Perhaps the lesson to be learned is that just because you have a mouth doesnt mean you need to use it. Or...just because you have a keyboard... It isnt what comes out of your mouth, its what you hold in your brain that counts.
