Posting for the sake of it.

Is it just me or is there a new trend for people posting just to get their post counts up? I logged on earlier today and saw the same name beside every thread on the page. I'm not saying they shoudn't - just puzzles me.:confused:

You must have a lot of quiet time!

I post when I can't be bothered dealing with dumbass customers (but today was some really dumb escalation manager who ticked me right off - oh just about stopped the rant there!)

[stuartyboy]

lol...none of you guys.

[phil24_7]

Dunno why I'm posting here, I should be going to bed but I gotta get my post count up!!!! ;-)

[Stingo]

Must be me then.


Do you really make a mental note of everyone that has replied to every thread?:confused: Blimey. Here, have one of these...:smt056

[Steve H]

I only post if I have something particular to moan about............................................. ............could be me then! :?

[DanAbnormal]

It's a forum!!

Jeez!:rolleyes:

And surely you making a thread to moan about pointless posts is a bit....................well pointless. You're just trying ot get your posts up aren't you!

[TVR_Tracy]

It's a forum!!

Jeez!:rolleyes:

Chill Winston... :cool:

But I see your point.... No, wait, that was a different thread ;) :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

[Keith1983]

I'll be perfectly honest I post to anything and everything, why not?

I am chilled. I just can't be arsed in using 20 happy smilies to let everyone know I was joking.:D

But one will do.........;)

[stuartyboy]

You're just trying ot get your posts up aren't you!

Not guilty. Don't have the time for one thing. You joined a few months before me...I'm at 700 posts you're at 2k posts. You do the maths.:rolleyes:

BTW - Its not anyone one here that's replied and I'm not going to name names.

Just wondered if by getting your post count up you got extra priviliges...

[stuartyboy]

Do you really make a mental note of everyone that has replied to every thread?:confused: Blimey. Here, have one of these...:smt056

No....read again. The same name was on every post when I logged on. Kinda hard not to notice.

CRICKEY!!!!

I've been on here twice as long as you have and I only have half as many posts as you! Seems I need to spend more time on the org...:smt088

[Warthog]

To be honest, when someone logs on, they look through the posts, and reply to any relevent ones. Then these posts arte the most recently added so they move all the threads to the top. Then along comes you, and you see what looks like one person replying to all the threads in one go. Its an artifact of how people post and how the forum acts.

Oh ok , it was me wasn't it? :p

Im with Warthog on this one

Cant have been me first time in this morning, no sorry second so it might have been

Got a bit to go to catch me :cool:

This paranoia is funny as feck

[Filipe M.]

Eh? :-k

Well it definitely wasn't me. There wasn't anything interesting to post on;)

+1 when theres nuffink to do at work, and what is the joy of getting the post count up :confused:

[Tomcat]

Is that not what 'idle banter' is all about...... posting for the sake of it? talking nonsense, and getting through an otherwise boring day?

I post when bored/opinionated, normally both!
:D

[phil24_7]

I have to agree with a few people on here. I log on most days and reply to ANY that are relevant but somedays I'm feeling particularly bored/sarcastic and will reply to whatever I fancy! On these days you could well find all the posts on 1 page in my name! ;-)

[kwak zzr]

you find that if you go on at an unusual time of day and no one else is on and you answer to lots of threads your name is the only one going to be there? like has been said tho "isnt that what idle banter it for"?

[stuartyboy]

Although this post does actually constitute a "pointless post", i would wager a goats beard that it might of been me :)

I remember seeing myself at the top of a few recently replied threads. If it was me give a rats ass...i reply to whatever i feel like...dont feel compelled to read every thread or come on the FORUM, if its an issue for you!

But just as you are entitled to your opinion, so Stuartyboy is entitled to his.

Frankly I agree with him. Yes of course it's 'Idle' Banter and you don't need a reason to post but some do seem - well - er - vacuous.

I agree that some posts/threads may be construed as pointless/vacuous etc and of course everyone might not be interested, but simply do what i do then and dont read them...problem solved.

I tried pretty hard too but it didnt work. And this was a long time ago. Honest.
