id like to say that this **is** a reaction to various posts on social chat, and would like to voice my opinion here in as an adult manner as i can manage
firstly i fail (slightly) to see many of the arguments against post whoring - the bandwidth argument especailly correct me if im wrong but ultimatly the bandwidth for the actual forums will not be exessivly affected by the addition of a post - even several 1000 posts - i mean whats the size of a post? a matter of Kb if that even 1000 of those is only 10Mb and while i know there are several hundred thousand posts that still does not even begin to touch the kind of bandwidth a site like this runs on.
on a similar vein arguing that pm's should be used will not save bandwidth - the messages are still stored though pm's should be used for other reasons - such as basically personal conversations
i agree that repeated posting is a waste of space and makes many threads unreadable - although i am guilty of doing this on occasion - so does having ream upon ream of people exactly the same thing
its often said that post whores take up a lot of the bandwidth space *but* as far as i can see at least they tend to say something new. so many otherwise interesting discussions and topics get flooded by people repeating the same points.
and i release im probably going to get accused of flamming for this. accused of being an idiot but seriously - how much damage does a silly thread do? ok threads started for the hell of having a thread are a waste, so tell a mod and have it deleted. but dont just yell at people who post a lot. try making a thread and then keep people on topic - its not just the mods who can moderate a forum - if you have one keep the conversation going and change the direction
but if you have a forum called social chat - dont you think people will?
ok so thats the end of this and i know it sounds like a rant so please take whats said with a pinch of salt and not as a personal insult
also any PM's asking for this to me removed etc (or just general insults) please head - post whore - so i know and for my own amusment
finally where do you fall?

Well, in my experience, HoP is one of the most "communal" sites on the ether. People really seem to like other people they've never met. Everyone is friendly (mostly) and arguments are polite and (mostly) short lived.
This is SO much better than other sites out there. There are sites I belong to that have a debate thread that goes something like "WTF are you thinking you
head? That mother point you just said is absolute ". This I hate.
If it takes a few random and silly threads to keep this atmosphere, then I'm happy to let them exist. However I think that there should be a move to segregate pointless threads and games from actual posts. The seperation of "chat" and "discussion" is great, and I think it works well.
I just think that it's great to come online and have a site so full of people who care about each other, even if their only correspondence is over the internet.

After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.

as a former post whore, and even being guilty of creating a post whore thread in social chat, i feel the need to put in my two cents worth. posting randomly and repeatedly in a forum such as 'social chat' may be unavoidable in a lare and happy forfum such as HoP, but it should be avoided. im all for the deletion of posts and threads but it has to be within reason. ive noticed many threads with the same topic in action at the same time (i just lost the game is under about 7 different topics), which irritates me immensely, and ive begun to avoid the social chat altogether. a 'three strikes and you're out' policy may be helpful in encouraging people to stick to the rules of the forum, but some people will continue to ignore them, reguardless of the consequences.

I've not been a member for long, and even though I post some rubbish, not all of my posts are nonsense, and I didn't realise it was such an issue til now!
It's quite difficult to get involved in the spinning community when you're so far from the other enthusiasts, just the actual time it takes to get to the nearest town/city where there's a meet is at least 3 hours away and not being able to travel due to family committments (and no car) is also a major hinderance.
I'm well known for talking utter poop offline, and I apologise for regurgitating my evil online too. I used to use WAP (wireless application protacol, you know - a smaller version of the web for your mobile phone) forums alot when I had no internet access (i.e. a pc), and silly posts became a habit of mine. Yes there's pretty large communities accessible via your mobile believe it or not!
I promise I'll restrain myself from now on *bats my lashes*, and try to write longer, more constructive posts, instead of short crappy ones, and maybe reserving necessary nonsense for my introduction thead. (if it has to be said, it will be said there!)
As for removing post counts, it wouldn't bother me in the slightest!
Stay happy, HoPpy ppl!

again I apologise will...been a very bad post whore since i started but partly due to trying to get to know people far and wide and very bored at work.
If i had known how much it irked people I would have slowed down.
I admit I started very few threads but did help prolong some that should have died a quicker death.

Heh
Another thing that gets me is what can only be described as "try hard randoms" (dont get me wrong, some people have it down to an art form and always make me laugh *salutes sparkey*).
You know the type, those who just go out of their way to be as stupid and (IMO) as unfunny and unwitty as possible.
Bah, its muchly annoying, no?

hee hee tis very good to see this thread is still actualyl moving along and that people are being honest and nice about it all
and yes i would agree w/ FRD about forced sillyness
but interestingly we have nearly as many confesed whores as non whores hmmmmm
and i think it is true about 'conversations' these will occur as people get bored at work etc
though as i said earlier this will probably go down in about 2 weeks as people go back to school (i think im right in saying that a LOT of the people who post regularly are in the UK and go to school college or uni)

I believe that person who started that on was/ is new.
Thats one of the problems I think there is by not having post count displayed. I used to look at the number of posts and if it was a small number, its much nicer, to be nice as they didnt know better.I believe iIt WILL keep happening because of new people coming to the site and starting pointless threads as they dont know it has gone on before.

Ok so i think im a bit slow on the uptake here - i first saw this thread and thought - "what i s a post whore" new special service from Royal Mail or something?
Lets have a look then!
Then i realise its a serious discussion - one that ive been reading now for bloody ages it seems (better get some work done in a minute)
Anyhow - my few pence is - to be honest the top of the forum main page is somewhere i dont venture much at all - ive only recently been hitting the intro threads because i want to say hello to many of my freinds, now and again ive gone into the social chat and taken part in the whole sillyness threads, but that was because of boredom and they are threadfs you dont even have to think about answering - azny old usually fits
Ive been around here since early 2002, my post count has slowly cralwed up, but its not even 2000 yet, mainly because i only post when i have something to tell you guys........... most other posts i put are in events ./ gatherings, to be fair thats where i spend most of my time - organising spinners (surprised my post count isnt higher in that repesct)
Meeting up with all you guys is the best way to do stupid things and talk random i mean, go to falmouth, play, spitz, guildford, southampton and chat to the nutty locals you are gaurenteed to have hours of fun rambling amoungst the spinning
Mynci - you are a whore, for sure, but then i knew that before you joined
Post whoring is all news to me, it passed me by really as i just never really looked into the chat forums that deeply, maily because they were full of the same old stuff everytime i looked at the first page................
Tiz kind of ironic that newbies feel put of by people with lots of posts and people with lots of posts get put of by newbies rambling about life and its sillyness........
I dont know - as usual im on the fence on this one, (safest place to be) comfy seat to, much better than the muddy patches either side, oh look and from up here i can see into Jonny UCOF's back garden, oh he had his special purple pants on the line again
Your all great, either way
especially Jon
*passes dooby*

Lets have a look then!
Then i realise its a serious discussion - one that ive been reading now for bloody ages it seems (better get some work done in a minute
)Anyhow - my few pence is - to be honest the top of the forum main page is somewhere i dont venture much at all - ive only recently been hitting the intro threads because i want to say hello to many of my freinds, now and again ive gone into the social chat and taken part in the whole sillyness threads, but that was because of boredom and they are threadfs you dont even have to think about answering - azny old
usually fits Ive been around here since early 2002, my post count has slowly cralwed up, but its not even 2000 yet, mainly because i only post when i have something to tell you guys........... most other posts i put are in events ./ gatherings, to be fair thats where i spend most of my time - organising spinners (surprised my post count isnt higher in that repesct
)Meeting up with all you guys is the best way to do stupid things and talk random
i mean, go to falmouth, play, spitz, guildford, southampton and chat to the nutty locals you are gaurenteed to have hours of fun rambling amoungst the spinning Mynci - you are a whore, for sure, but then i knew that before you joined
Post whoring is all news to me, it passed me by really as i just never really looked into the chat forums that deeply, maily because they were full of the same old stuff everytime i looked at the first page................
Tiz kind of ironic that newbies feel put of by people with lots of posts and people with lots of posts get put of by newbies rambling about life and its sillyness........
I dont know - as usual im on the fence on this one, (safest place to be
) comfy seat to, much better than the muddy patches either side, oh look and from up here i can see into Jonny UCOF's back garden, oh he had his special purple pants on the line again Your all great, either way
especially Jon
