Pointless Posting

Oh no, Starla's going to rant again. :) Yes, I've come up with another little mini-rant, this time about "Posting for the sake of posting."

The other day, I was reading a Yahoo! Answers topic called "What were typical foods and drinks in the 16th century?". Most of the answers were helpful, but scrolling down, I found one from "Virgina J" that simply said "WINE I DUNNO". ....if you don't know the answer, then why are you posting?

Spamming, or more specifically, post-count ballooning, is annoying. It, by definition, doesn't help the conversation or topic where it's posted. Pointless posting is a nuisance, mainly propagated by people who want a high post count. I is eating cheeze.

This sort of links in with my "Should I disable post incrementing on A Deck Of Cards" debate. Most fourm games are just so you can post and have fun doing so. Can you say "I LUV 2 BALLO0N MI P0ST COUNT"? I thought so.

Anyway, yes, I'm random. And I finally made that "rant" tag. :)
