I actually think that enforcing the rule about posting (in this thread or otherwise) just for the sake of posting is certainly something that can't hurt.
Whenever I make a post that's over a couple of lines in length, I get accused of posting "college papers" and such nonsense... like there's nothing wrong with formulating a paragraph or two in order to express your opinion on something in detail.
Also, I'm glad that I wasn't included in that list of people who post just for the sake of posting (not that I necessarily agree with their being listed in there either), because that's honestly not the case with me. Users who post just for the sake of posting do not post messages such as these: http://atrl.net/?p=18350763
However, if rules are to be put in place I'd recommend that they don't leave anything to interpretation. Posting for the sake of posting is bad of course, but actively contributing in multiple areas of the site can be constructive and shouldn't be frowned upon under the guise of postwh0ring. Obviously posting messages about albums and singles and rewriting the same messages over and over in threads like these are pointless. But contributing to the Best Of threads and letting people know your opinion on their countdowns shouldn't be discouraged as that's what it's all about.
Just my two cents.
Every. Single. Word
For the most part of it I don't post for the sake of posting. My humanitarian-like posts in ATRL Cares and the recent Being Gay-The Hardest thing are prove of that. I post a lot in RT but I've never triple posted for it to be regarded as spam, even when I know the thread is for random posts.
I can't at you all spamming this thread up with single and album talk again just after the mods came in and addressed it being an issue.
Nah, this wasn't spamming.
Spamming was last week when I woke up and had to read 10+ pages of the same promo over and over again. As I said before, there's nothing bad in promoting your "singles", but do it with moderation.
goodbye!
but it paid off I guess . I jumped in the top ten after the gorls said I would place on the top 20 ..
