View Full Version : Post Padding


Lance

For those of you who may not have heard the term "Post Padding", it refers to frequent posting by a member in order to increase his/her number of posts. One can achieve this by such trivial postings as: "I love your aquascaping" or "That's a beautiful Acro" or even "Nice Tank". It is possible to increase one's post count by at least ten every day just by using these three phrases.

Lance

There may be several reasons for people wanting high post counts. He/she may believe that others may think that he/she is a very knowledgeable aquarist due to the high number of postings. Another possible reason may be that he/she may believe that others will think that he/she is a popular member because of the high number of posts he/she has acquired.

Lance
12-20-2009, 09:42 PM
Personally, I don't pay much attention to the number of posts I have acquired, and although you may notice that I have a fairly high number of posts-per-day, I assure that none of them are trivial postings. All my postings are totally relevant to the thread topic, as I am not one for rambling on with insignificant chatter.

Lance
12-20-2009, 09:44 PM
Oh............Look at That! I just noticed this is my 1999st post!
........huh!..........

I don't normally participate in needless post padding threads. My post count comes from close to 10 years of telling people their tanks look great.

Oh ... crap. Well, whatever, guess I'm in for it now. You guys all have awesome aquascaping BTW.

Ian; directly across from your avatar you will see your join date, location, and post number. Every time you post something it increases your post count. So, by posting often you increase your post count quickly.You will notice that some people have huge numbers, which means that they have either been on this site for a long time or just like to talk a lot. :lol: It could be thought by some that people with large post numbers are knowledgeable aquarists because they have been in the hobby a long time.
