I have to agree on that, unless you are asking a question or making a comment with actual content, do not post.
wow, look at what the link in its profile leads to - advertising! No way! How crazy.
Also, a common bot symptom is the "[name] is here" signature.

Why would a bot post something like that? It isnt advertising anything by doing it o.O'

Do NOT necropost (post in a long dead topic), unless you want to be a target for Kllrnoj, 0x5
Actually, Kllrnohj should love necroposting, since he's the advocate of not locking long-dead topics.
If I remember correctly, he only likes necroposting if the person has something genuine to add to the discussion.
Umm, it already does. Pointless posts that don't add anything to the discussion are expressly forbidden.
I do see where he is coming from though, but yeah, a lot of topics could be locked after they have lived their usefulness.
Such as this one, for example? It might be interesting, but I think minimal locking is probably the better extreme to go to.

My problem is not with locking, per se, but with both the extreme HASTE to lock a thread (eg, <1hr after the thread "appears" finished), and of the admins blatant disregard to locking (eg, Kerm, et al still posting in supposedly "locked" topics), which kept "locked" threads at the top of the "new posts" pile. There were several occasions where a thread was created, and locked, all within a couple of hours. Obviously this prevents those of us who DON'T spend every waking hour on cemetech.net from ever posting in that thread, and perhaps adding something of genuine USE.
Therefore, my task was to completely reverse this, and the easiest way was to put pressure to stop locking at all, as anything short of that would be "shrugged off". I had to stage a "revolution", if you will, and the opposite extreme is often the best course of action, as then even a compromise still gets you what you want. Get it?
Necroposting is only valid if there is something genuine to add, and it is different from a non-old thread in that the majority of people have lost interest in it. Therefore, it must be a worthy post for the thread to be "brought back", as it were, whereas in current threads, worthless (or just near-worthless) posts can create fun, humor, or lead to other interesting avenues of discussion.
As for Harq's pathetic attempt to up the wordcount, he failed to consider that the word count is often divided by the posts for the much more boastful stat of "average words per post", so all you did, Harq, was lower your own stats

Ah, tis sad that the irony of my jab at you was lost upon thee. I did know that you were being sarcastic, and by pointing that out, I was, in fact, helping not only my own wordcount, but also my average words per post. Did you fail to notice that I am needless expanding my thoughts? Did you fail to realize that you were bested at your own game? This, THIS, is how you blatantly and obviously bloat one's statistics. This is how the game is played.

"User, it appears that you have a synergistic dysfunction within your heretofore unrealized potential for globalized increases in your arithmetic mean of contentual posts to the total cardinality of your full chronology of trans-user messaging entries"
versus
"User, please make your posts contain more content"
Oh, and by the way, 5.
