Posting Problem...?
 

I have noticed that a lot of users are posting more then they need too. As many of you may already know, if you look at a user's Public Profile, it will say how many posts you have and in brackets, how many posts per day. Some of the numbers that appear in brackets are unbelievable. I'm not going to mention names but I've found someone with 39.90 posts per day, 5.46
posts per day, etc. (As Of July 5th 2007)

There is no point to posting this much! You do not need to post in every thread!

There is no compitition going on involving who can get the most posts! There used to be one because there was a Top Posters list in the Top 7 Stats section. The 2 users involved lost reputation.

So... Stop Posting Excessively

39 posts per day or whatever is just an average, not the real thing! haha, and if it was complete truth, saddos.

i know u are kind of saying me but i use to post when i read in forum i from now on only 100%post in stories and for the rest i may not post as many.

still it should be under 2 posts for day even if it is an average, max. 3. For example: SlaveBoy has 70 posts in just over 2 days

Totally agree! It's quality, not quantity that should be the aim!

but now u don expect me to delect every single post right

ive posted A HELL of alot these past 2 days

but i still think its only like 15-20 posts lol

cuz ive finished school and im resting on getdare =]

ermm yer + slaveboy, your not reading the rules very well.

please just read the forum rules.

like were you post things

why you post things

it just helps with the flow of getdare

Problem is the site is getting kind of ....wel crappy. We've never had this many members before, much less this many members who have no regard for the rules, make 2 posts then leave forever. While I do want to keep almost every post, so we can go back and look at it, there's a part of me that wants to just physcially delete every thread that breaks the rules.

I have said it before, and i am sure some of the older members such as myself, depp, chaing, usaslavegurl will agree. A while ago there was not as much action but a lot of quality posts. Now there is a ton of action. There is 15-20 posts an hour during the day but only about 50% are have way decent quality. People need to read the rules.


I really want hear Depp's take (again) on this issue.

100% agreement. I am actually writing a detailed thread in the Inside Beat section about problems and what needs to be done, whether it be new rules, tighter enforcement and making it easier to Probate/Ban someone, to re-organizing the mods, to adding new ones. I believe I am speaking for all the staff, when I say that something has to be done. We are working on it.

im very glad your taking acction dude.

and well done usagirl
im glad you made this post =]

good luck lads, and im sure i speak from all of the long term getdare users when i say that.

I don' think there is a problem with posting often. Especially with threads like "Person above dare" it's quite easy to get a high post count w/o writing garbage like sl... some other people.
I'm no long time user but I like to believe that I don't post any nonsense posts and I really hope the situation will get better.
I'd be in favor of really harsh rules but that'd probably be too much work for the mods and admins.

Well i think people are on purposely posting far to much. They should put a limit to something like 10max a day...
I don't think it matters how many posts people write but i don't think it's necessary to leave a comment on every post so i partially see your point!

I do not think there is a need for a post limit. Sure certain days you can have a lot of posts. Just make sure every single post is a quality post.

Nah A post limit would be a bad idea...

But I do agree with Dabear on most things in this thread Ive always been what I would consider an active member giving hints and such and my post count is pretty damn low considering my join date and I check the forums at least once a day.....haha....

Oh and for changes won getdare I think what we really need is at least 2 mods who soul purpose is to just watch the boards for random spammers with people posting in a thread to say "Hello" or something small like that just to try to get there post count higher. I mod on another website for a FFXI linkshell its not really that hard to do Ill just ocasionaly deletepost if they look completly pointlesss... just need somone who checks the forum everyday.
