Muenkel 0 #1 June 1, 2002 Quote A general hang out for skydivers and whuffos. Whether skydiving related or not - this is the place to make idle chit-chat! Let's hang out!This is the description under the forum of "Skydiver's Talk Back". So what exactly is post whoring?I am serious about this question. If you're not confused, you're not paying attention.Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok I'm starting to feel like a looser it's 11 on a friday night and I'm sitting here online posting. Well and shopping, Skybytch will be happy I just forked out way to much cash for a boomerang. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Jessica 0 #9 June 1, 2002 Heh! Won't let me edit, which is highly ironic considering what I was going to add: Post whoring is also posting solely to build up your post numbers and/or ranking. In moderation, it's kind of funny, but it gets old fast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skybytch 273 #10 June 1, 2002 Post whoring could be defined as - 1) making a lot of posts solely to raise your post numbers so you can move up the list2) repeating yourself - ie making another post that says exactly what you said in a previous post, even if it's worded a bit differently...and I'm sure someone else can come up with some other definitions.Why is it bad? 1) it's a waste of HH's bandwidth.2) it's a waste of other forum users time - ie the time they spend opening and reading the posts.pull & flare,lisa"Try not.
