Hey guys-
I've noticed in the recent past that I have put out some pretty meaningless posts such as "I like this" or "Kewlio" or "Okey-Dokey". Now, I do mean the things in the posts, but I seem to go post happy some times just to raise my post count. I want to stop doing this and become less of a spam bucket. If anyone notices me doing it, please send me a PM telling me so. Put the word "Picklejuice" as the message header.
Thank you,
Your friendly neighborhood Conjoin

Thanks. EDIT: AGH! I DID IT AGAIN! GAH! If I made this post based off my beliefs, and my beliefs are not under my direct control, do I really have free will?

I added meaning.
"I have a dream... that chickens will be able to cross the road without being questioned..."
^This post has meaning too.

IMO, the best way to be a productive member in a forum is to not only say when you like or dislike something, elaborate! When someone needs help and you know an answer, give them an answer! When you agree with something, type at least 3 well thought out sentences about WHY you agree. The longest posts seem to always come from disagreeing, so in a way I guess that makes it easier, lol.
I could just say, "Elaborate more", but I instead decided to elaborate on elaborating! This will increase your recognition, and people will instantly be happy to see you posting on their threads. Just don't make too long of posts. People are scared of that, lol. If it happens to be a long post, break it up into smaller chunks. Notice that my post is broke up into 2 chunks?

Conjoin, only post if your input could have an impact on what's going on, my general rule of thumb so I don't seem like a spammer, even though I typically watch every single post go up.

Will do conjoin. I also seem to have a posting problem of my own lol. (Please don't taking this as deriving from conjoins problem really.) I just noticed that I keep saying things like the pogotribe will change the world and stuff but that's not really my choice. It is in the pogotribe's best interest as to what the pogotribe should be for. Just whenever I say something let me know and tell me hey, you don't know that or something. I realized this after watching the newest pogotok (Clearing the air) and that I should be more open to the possibilities of the tribe and I should be more open to our values. Thanks guys.
@conjoin, trey has a good point. elaborate more.
Say thanks and then add a relevant wall of text for good measure, lol jk, although it is good to say way you feel certain ways and why.

Good idea!
.. Lol. No, but really. I sometimes notice that I just go "hi!", especially at the introduction threads.. And then I press Post Reply and I notice that there's NOTHING in my post. Nothing to react on, nothing to actually help the person o.o So if you want to post useful posts, add some constructive criticism. ^^

Thanks for the help guys! Okay, now to elaborate... Trey- I'm following your advice rite nao, so thanks. @t4and- I usually think that I'm contributing, but I later realize that I'm not... @mashuga- I think it's fine to have expectations of the PogoTribe, but I keep them to myself. It's glad to see that you're doing the same. Yokailo- I find it almost impossible to not spam in the intro section. I could see this turning into a project, asking people for help on life's issues. I think something like that already exists, though. Does it?
