nothing personal you understand!

[peewhy]

This isn't aimed at anybody in particular, it relates to fora in general.

Who doesn't look at the 'label' of an individual and make a sub-consious judgment?

By label I mean - 'Junior Member'... other fora use 'newby' etc.

So here I am, 46 years old, been involved in marketing for thirty years and internet marketing since '96 - and I'm a junior! I often wonder sometimes when I post, not here, but elsewhere, whether my message is invisible because I haven't got enough numbers attached.

I'm guilty, because I do it too, not ignore, but look at the 'status' and tend to make a judgement - it's wrong I know, but I'm sure I'm not alone.

It's like an incentive system, reward points - the more you post, the higher you climb.

So, 'serialposter' ... hope there isn't anyone called Serialposter if so, it's not you!

So, 'serial poster' spreads himself out with mindless banter, posts in anything going and reaches the sky with super labels and high ranking status.

Is there a danger that a true green newby could look at serialposter's rank and number and think he's some sort of guru?

....never mind, it's nearly the weekend and Monday is a whole new day.

Serialposter, if you are there, I love you!

Uhm Google update post also don't count from this month. I think you are picking out the wrong places to post to increase your post count :) An easier way would be to go to directories and Cry your guts out about Dmoz and all it's problems ;) or better still congratulate one of the new mods :)

Just kidding

The best way to improve your post count is to go to a forum you know all about and write a detailed post about it. That way you will improve your post count and show everyone how much you know.

Got it now .... see that's why I'm a junior member! not because I don't post enough - I just don't know what I'm doing here ... or anywhere for that matter - no change there then!

[DaveN]

you can always pick a fight in the supporters forum that will always adds a few to my post count especially when everyone gangs up on you (only joking ;) )

passion is my thing I'll rant and rave about things that I'm passionate about, like post counts and se spam.

I've dropped a gauntlet in 'All The Web' - that should see some feathers fly!

Where's your thread DaveN? ... I'm coming!

[peewhy]

Fan fair!

Roll out the carpet!

Pop the bubbly!

I did it, Junior Member - me?

I lit a few fires, Caused a few arguments, got myself a very bad name ... but now I'm a Full Member ;)

Ignore all my trouble making posts ... it was a ruse to dump the Junior bit te he!
