if you aren't effort-posting

[drizzleRomanceGirl]

i agree, i think we should know the distinction between having a thoughtful post and --

















... what was i saying again?

When I come to a message board, let it be of quality. You know why? Because I put quality in what I post. I spend time and I spend energy and I spend effort and I spend everything I have, every fiber of my being, to give people quality. So if I turn up to a thread and you got a 50 character post limit and some jpeg memes in a fucking sig, you wanna know what? No, I am gonna leave. Is that wrong, for... wanting more for myself, wanting people to treat me with respect? But you know what, next time they know better. But had I accepted the copypasta, I would be reading copypasta right now.

I spend no less than five minutes on a post because I believe in quality

[Deadlyx39]

Basically this then.

Option 1:
Pretend everyone wants to effort-post even if it's not true and do effort-posts yourself in hope to improve overall quality.

Option 2:
Invent some karma system that rewards effort-posting in hope it helps to improve quality.

Option 3:
Shitpost so bad that people who shitpost feel ashamed to be doing like you are.

Option 4:
Hire a nazi moderator that shut down everyones who dares to shitpost.

Option 5:
Post a thread about posting conventions, why quality matters and how it could contribute to improve the entire site.

Option 6:
Ignore this post and type something uncreative to postcount +1.

why should we spend effort on our posts?

I suggest removing post count entirely.

Even with shitposting, the more posts generally means more time on the site, giving people more of an idea who to go to for advice.

if we take that logic inversely. Someone with very little posts gives people more of an idea they aren't a go to for advice. (or however that proof works)

Honestly post counts can mean very little in these type of forums. But it can mean plenty if you're on a tech support forum and a site mod with 10k post comes along. It honestly depends on how much value each post is given in any form of context; (eg: someone playing for 9 years can have 0 actual experience to give X advice)
