Post Boosting

I read this forum often but the amount of post boosting is beginning to get slightly on my nerves, there seems to be many posts just there to increase people's post counts. Not sure if it's just people trying to increase their counts in order to get member of the month or just because they're bored. I was looking at one member who hardly had a post more than 7 words!

Is there anyway to stop this happening because for me it's beginning to ruin what's a decent forum. Maybe encourage useful posts by only awarding member of the month to "good" posters or something?

I see what you mean Tom. I dont think its the Member Of The Month award because both people who have won this have not only posted a lot of posts but also good quality posts. I dont think the situation is too out of hand at the moment but I will be monituring it closely.

Thanks.

Yeh it's not too bad at the moment, but I think it's probably first to nip it in the bud before it begins to get out of hand.

It's no problem if members think before they post, this forum isn't the only one with the problem mind.

Yeah. I have stopped the topic that I thought was a little bit out of hand I think you know which one I mean. But yes please members do think befire oyu post, if it is not helpful, meaningful please do not post it.

Cheers Guys

im a bit scared posting this but i have to say i am a bit guilty of post booting. i sometimes just sometimes posted post saying like nice bat mate ect. but from now on i will try to keep my post down to good quality post

Also try and spell right mate!

dont worry im trying my hardest and looking at my post befor i post them

Yeah i can see you are

what do you mean leo?

You spell "befor" like this:

BEFORE

its only an e. and i have allways spelt it like that

Another quick English lesson for you, it's "always"

commenting on peoples spelling is kind of post boosting isnt it, unless you really cant understand it

i Feel This Thread Should Be Closed, As Any Comments Posted In Reply To It (Including This One), Have No Real Relevance To Cricket(The Main Purpose Of This Forum) So They Could All Be Considered Post Boosting!

Why? Just because something isn't related to cricket doesn't mean it's post boosting, it's post boosting if it's pointless and bears no real relevance. This topic is for suggestions, and what did I do? I made a SUGGESTION!!!

This topic is useful and hopefully the post boosters will stop it. And Liam if you believe I'm posting why have I never celebrated a number e.g 300 posts I don't care about how high a post count is. If I did why would I have moved my post count down from 12,000 to 100 on another forum?

I wasn't directly criticising you, But i feel all that can be said about Poist Bossting has been said... i.e Don't Do It!
The more we talk abou this and that etc and wether certain people are or certain posts are etc etc.... The more we are doing it!
Thats my opinion, so please don't simply tell me i'm wrong!
