AFF's 300,000th post thread....

[oz_mark]

As a moderator you should know that post padding is not tolerated. But sometimes the definition of post padding is a little blurred.

So what is it defined as?

Well the Urban Dictionary says:

Fluffing your post count with pointless response in a message board.

Jackskeleton is just padding his post count in the word association thread.

While this Wiki on Whirlpool, offers some good advice.

Ultimately though, I always look back at this animation from Albino Blacksheep.

Another bump before bed.

The posting rate has dropped

See what happens when I have to work 16 hours a day for a few weeks ...

I also note an influential member has buggered off that probably posted a fair bit a day

 

[JohnK]

Especially at 1:44am :shock:

Just as well I didn't post this morning. Didn't get to bed until ~3:30am+ after another heavy Saturday night.

So what is it defined as?

A serious of posts with something like "+1 for me". Or perhaps this post.

You need to have a word to your boss to get your priorities in order.

So how many days; posts is the rate.

We must be due for an update shortly from our statistician Mwenenzi.

By my calculations the 300,000th post looks like being on 26 September 2010.

Bottom of the first page; is the number I am looking at.

 

[QF WP]

Bundy Bear, I was looking at the Community Statistics on the bottom of the "Home" tab, you are looking at the Community Statistics at the bottom of the "Discussion Board" tab.

The differential must be deleted posts

I think there has already been discussion about this and which counter was going to be used - I think it was the one at the bottom of the "Discussion Board" tab that you referenced.

 

[Bundy Bear]

Good news Lindsay, but where is Mwenenzi. I want to know whether I am winning or loosing.

Serfty is away; and straitman has gone for a drive so I am trying to maintain the pace.

 

[QF WP]

Can't help you there Bundy Bear...best I can do is point you to the list and make some educated guesses

 

[samh004]

Hmm… getting close but the pace has slowed a lot.

I think it will require something truly exceptional to happen for me to even stand a chance with this!
