What's the big deal of how many post I got?

[VegettoEX]

Everything must be an in depth thesis, hail the arienne conversation race.

See, this is precisely part of the problem.

You're trying to be funny, but it's not funny. It doesn't add anything to the conversation, amusing or otherwise. It's barely commentary on the situation at hand. There are better ways to express what you're trying to say. Saying them in an in-depth way with actual thoughts and actual points would make your point valid and worth reading. As it is, it's just another annoying one-liner to scroll past that doesn't serve anyone except yourself and tosses you on a mental checklist of folks to continue to scroll past in the future. You can have fun with your posts. but you can also make worthwhile funny and relevant posts to make it actually worth someone's time to read. Isn't that better for everyone?

What AjayLikesGaming said basically sums it up. When I look at a forum - any forum out there - and see the same person's name down the list on the right having responded to nearly every open thread all in a row, I pretty quickly jump to the conclusion that they probably don't have anything worth adding, because you can't have anything worth adding if you've typed so many things in a row in such a short time, and I just click "Mark All Read" because it's not worth my time.

Well it's your fault not theirs if you're going to ignore them based on generalisations.

Also you can't even spell "Aryan", jingles.

I should stop listening to Google then.

I find it quite amusing that I seem to fall somewhere in the middle and therefore I am put in a place of ambiguity on the forum. I am not a special poster nor am I a spammer or a troll. Actually, I feel that ambiguity and mediocrity on here is like a jargon for how my life is like outside the forum, in the "real" world. Nothing special, not winning any races, not at the top of the class/forum, just somewhere above average at best. I don't know if I should feel disappointed or not.

You're not alone. I don't think you should feel disappointed with your status because you and I have something to contribute to discussion when we do. Better to be in the middle then be a spammer or troll. Anonymity is not a bad thing on message boards, at least in my opinion.

Also, I like your avatar. Shawn Michaels was my favorite wrestler when I used to watch WWE shows.

With 23 posts a day, it seems safe to say you are probably looking to make conversations more than contributions. Don't get me wrong, I'm not making blanket-statement generalizations of a different post rates (I am actually considering, and looking at, the content of your posts). Over the years I've always seen and understood the chatroom to be the more appropriate place for conversational banter and this "bullshitting".

There was definitely a time when I myself attempted to come up with a relevant post for as many threads a possible, but it does feel like the topics of many of the threads being created these days do not lead to many opportunities for material contributions (as apposed to conversational responses and personal opinions).

Wow can't believe I'm just now getting the update feature for this. May I ask. What do you think of my posts. Well most of them.

I find a lot of them to be low effort and, as Rambo said, you post much like you're on a chat room than a forum.

For example:



It's two words and one question mark needed there but you couldn't be bothered to even fix that nor offer anything else to that post. Generally when I see people replying or questioning others, they offer something else up of their own to extend the conversation.

In your defense, Ozaru's post offered quite literally nothing to the conversation so I do question why he bothered posting at all. I do understand you were trying to incite more discussion there but c'mon, it's not hard to put a little effort into what you type.

I've seen you type eloquently before but it's so inconsistent that it does make me question whether you just type something out quickly and hit 'submit' without giving it a second thought.

I don't see what else I could have said to Mighty. I mean I was going to just say "why?". I could't really say more than "Howcome?". Also in my defense most of post seem short or lack of details at times because my English sucks. I mean sucks. If this was like Korean or Spanish I could easily type more. But I can't really type a thought out process everyday in English. Hell I didn't even know How come was suppose to be two words. I honest thought it was one. Most of what I say is what I think and honestly I type super fast so I mostly re write them at least 5 times

If you can't say something relevant, meaningful, or funny, don't say anything at all.

Your post confused me. Are you trying to be funny, jokeful, or are you serious?

He's Rocketman. He's always trolling/serious. But he does both well so we keep him.

You can only become better at something by practice.
It is no excuse to keep out details or to keep the posts short.
From my 7 years here, I have seen a lot of people who aren't that well at English who actually try their best, and work hard on typing well-thought and well-written posts. This leads to their English rapidly becoming much better.
This is from a fellow person whose primary language isn't English.

I for one don't care for short and non-informative posts as I tend to skip past them, but as a fellow forum-goer I can't accept that kind of reasoning.
Keep on working hard. If that means that the amount of responses you give become less, it is a good investment (and can be a gain for you as well outside of the forum).

OK, you're surely noticing this now.

You're knocking on the door of 5000 posts and could potentially become Kanzenshuu's most active user at some point next year. I'd say that's a big deal.

I am dead serious. If you don't have anything to say, then don't say anything.

[Scarz]

Oh wow, I just realized TheGmGoken has almost five thousands posts! And in such a short amount of time too. Call me oblivious but I usually don't pay attention to that kind of stuff on any forum. I do, however, look at the year a member has joined. I don't know why that's more interesting to me than the amount of posts a member has.

I don't think it matters how many times you've posted, as long as you write something meaningful to the topic. Could be long or super short, as long as it doesn't seem utterly pointless.

Personally, I think your own quote "Wow 23 times? Feels like 3 to be honest" just about sums it up. You're putting so little thought into your posts that they don't even register in your own mind, and you type them out. They just don't lend themselves well to actual responses, because they tend to just be your off-hand, personal comments. There's never any sources reinforcing what you have to say for the reader to check out, actual references to the original materials to look at, or new information/discoveries/content to learn from. This is of course my personal view, like you asked for, so it is from my own perspective. I have spent hours drafting a responses, and weeks typing/researching new thread topics, but by no means should that ever become a standard. It's just a balance of making material contributions to the community discussion so that others can comment/learn vs contributing absolutely nothing but comments and remarks which no one gains from.
