Spamfest... Write something at least looking constructive, then you'll get good votes from me! An absolute minimum is some good meta-spam...

If I ever find a post that is not superficial, of a comedic nature with dubious value, I will leave Apolyton forever.

Okay, I just wasted my time reading through that thread. It was actually pretty interesting to see what people predicted and what happened. Also it was interesting to see Ming in the middle of a "meta-spam-fest"

Okay, let me rephrase.

I've just invested more time than I originally budgeted into reading that thread with perceived limited return on investment.

How would you rate this post? More concise? Helpful?

As long as I can know what the average is, I could then get an idea... now maybe it's not useful? Am I the only one who would appreciate it? I know some boards where the most appreicated writers get some stars and different graphics corresponding to how their posts are considered (such as www.fool.com forums) Useful only to me? Too much trouble?

Someone should total all the FGs, and their sign up threads/discussion threads, and see how many posts there are in total.

hmm, so a discussion of post quality turns into one of post quantity.

Naht. It's just there isn't much in the way of quality to discuss.

This thread could probably use some closure now.
