[Agent|Austin]

well your ahead of me on posts

And you also registered 1 year 3 days after I did. 

[pauljanaway1]

yes that could be why

[TerryRussell]

And Agent|Austin's posts tend to be longer than one sentence, pauljanaway1 . (A big hint, there)

Yeah, I know. I'm nagging... 

But seriously, my personal belief is that the number of actual posts is meaningless. I wouldn't have any objections if the count got switched off, given all of the people who seem determined to abuse it (that's my own view, not official policy).

I "rate" people (in my mind) based upon the usefulness and interest generated by their posts. You could post lots of meaningless single sentence messages and end up with a negative rating in my eyes...

but somtimes the answer to a question dose not require a page of wrighting some questoins a simple answer of maybe a cuple of words is better and an answer of a page dont you argree

Very True PJ

[pauljanaway1]

an exanple of such a question would be can "i dowload more ships like flight sim" where it is best to give a short but clear answer as they might be new and not understand all the jargon

[TerryRussell]

True.

But one person started a thread today inviting people to make single word posts just to boost the number of posts.

Don't you think that was just really spoiling this for all of the real posters?

Also, several people were/are involved in a competition to boost their post counts by making very short posts that didn't add anythin to this forum. They had a number of tactics for doing this.

Don't you think those people were also letting everyone else down?

But don't worry!

I know exactly who was involved in all of these things, and I will be keeping a close eye on them, to make sure that they don't ruin the enjoyment of everyone else.

[pauljanaway1]

yes we are both right makeing short post is ok but as long as they bring new infomation or ideas to the group

and yes i did see the post boosting forum
