Post Lots - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I have seen this in a lot of welcome threads and this could be confusing for new posters who may think they can post lots of chat and personal message type posts along with the one word or just a smile post, these kinds of posts are considered spam and are frowned upon as it is someone just trying to add to their post count to get to a higher posting level, also frowned upon. Another popular post I have noticed lately, is the "I don't know, but I'm going to post anyway" If you don't know, the thing to do is not post at all, for one thing it's annoying to everyone else and also you do not look so intelligent, sorry it's true. We do want you to post but to post wisely, not just to post or to pad your post count. Also if you want to know about anything related to the site, how things work, please check here: Click Here
