What's the point of bragging about your post count?

Let me put it this way: How would you feel if this entire forum filled up with topics from people bragging about their post count? Would you still be ok with it? Would you want to respond to hundreds of "oh I reached xxx posts" threads? As the saying goes, "give them an inch and they steal a mile". That will happen here if there are no limits set on these types of posts.

If everyone in mylot starts discussions on Alber Einstein, mylot will be an equally boring place. That is why we have to encourage variety. The person responding has to choose well.

For sure. It's better to read intelligent post since the majority of posters are intelligent anyways. People thrive on intelligent conversation not childish conversations. Save those conversations for when you're talking to children.

Well, this should become an official suggestion to myLot staff to remove the topics when they come up. I say the only topic that should be allowed in that regard would be by the person to first reach the 15,000 post milestone, since that would be a big one. This person is already over 10,000 posts. That would be the only exception to the rule, and I doubt that poster would care. Well, thank you all for your thoughts and opinions, I appreciate all the responses. Keep the replies coming.

Yeah, no point in posting pointless posts right? I just don't know how the staff of this site have enough time to read through each and every topic/post/comment every day. That's a lot of work. I don't know why the idiot braggers have to waste their time. It's hard for me to keep up with the posting on the forum I moderate, so I can relate to the task they face everyday. Jokers like these braggers should be banned/deleted to prevent issues like this.

Well, different people express things in different ways. So to some people posting milestones and getting good compliments and good jobs is very important, as for some english is not their first language, Posting and responding is difficult and they need encouragement. Now there are so many mileposts posts.. I do not see reasons for people to start new ones. But respond to others and they can discuss their excitment with eachother as I did. At first I never thought I was going to be able to earn anything really, I also thought it was a scam, but after seeing so many posts, it made me more confident to participate and less suspcious... I am kind of annoyed by people complaining about other peoples postings actually.. and Last I knew that was not right up Mylots terms alley either. That is why they have the report abuse feature... and they have ratings features. - DNatureofDTrain

Well, there should be one topic purely dedicated for such a thing then, and anyone can respond to it. Reporting abuse is one thing, talking about it is another. If myLot actually reads what people are complaining about, they would be in a better position to know what the abuse reports are about. Makes things a little easier for them.

Well I can celebrate by myself. I don't need to share something with everyone that most of them have already done. It's just a waste of time.

And that contributes to ego inflation and it should be stopped before it gets out of hand. There are way too many egotistical maniacs in the world today. Having them here isn't a good thing.

Maybe they're not bragging but do you want to respond to each and every new post count topic? I know I wouldn't and choose not to even read those topics. Unfortunately you can see them every time you look through discussions.

That's a good one that I've never heard. I actually never knew he had that many inventions either. Another good reason for starting this topic. Thank you for sharing that important information.

Your comment is right.

No, for some people it's an ego trip.

Reason behind what? Do you care to explain what you mean? I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to know.

It doesn't matter if you have a post count of 1 or 10,000. If your responses aren't intelligent, the number of posts doesn't make you smarter. If your only post is intelligent people will treat you as such. If you have hundreds of stupid, useless posts, people will treat you like the useless poster you are. You follow what I mean?

Seems that way doesn't it? But this place should be like everyday life. Quality should be more important than quantity, unless you work for a company that requires quantity more than quality. I would never do that. Never sacrifice quality for quantity. It's just not right.

You're one to talk since you don't have much of a post count. This is clearly not a useless topic since so many people are responding to it. My post count hasn't moved either since yesterday, and I couldn't care less about that. I never thought about that when I started this topic, and I've only ever started maybe 4 topics since I started less than a week ago. Report it if you must, but it won't do anything but ruin your reputation. If you think getting thoughts and opinions is useless, then you're on the wrong site. Maybe you should leave here and go to a site where people don't care.

Birthdays are a celebration. Posting milestones aren't. If I can put the site in my profile, I will. That will be the only place you'll find it.

And that's why I don't read those topics, let alone respond to them. It's a waste of my time.
