is what I will attempt to be making every day for the next week.
This is in response to the recent meteoric rise of pro-posters such as SirJolt and Riku.
By quality, of course, I mean that I will be making posts that adhere to the spirit and letter of TL's 10 Commandments.
To maximize my post-to-content efficiency, I will omit any transitions between my sentences. Contextual cohesion should be sufficient.
Wish me luck and I hope you find my posting brilliant, informative, and entertaining.
You can't follow me at www.twitter.com/imagummyworm where I won't be posting any changes to my posting strategy.
To first time posters on TL: Welcome to TL. I'm a pretty great guy and a perfect example of a poster so you should probably emulate me if you want to enjoy your membership in this exclusive community as well as contribute effectively to said community. TL Staff can certainly vouch for me regarding the veracity of this assertion.
Since I have been making an effort to tone down my arrogance, here is an embarrassing fact about myself: Sometimes my butt cheeks get sweaty and I get an accumulation of moisture toward the top of my buns. This accumulation of moisture becomes quite itchy after a while and I oftentimes have to grab my butt cheeks quite forcefully and do some belly dancing maneuvers to dislodge the accumulation. I am not always so fortunate to do this when nobody is watching.
Target for tomorrow: 1189.

Well, good luck at improving your PPD (post per day). :D

If you don't work or have summer school, it's very possible.
Definitions of quality will vary however, expect critics.

Posts per day isnt actually too big of an indicator of skill. SirJolt for example averages just over 1 post per day. So dont fret!

Do not mention SirJolt's name, SirJolt, in my blogs.... SirJolt is my odious rival and I intend to crush SirJolt in every arena, PPD or otherwise, so that he, SirJolt, will have been crushed at the end of my crushing of him (SirJolt).
So don't use SirJolt's handle here, which is SirJolt, for reference.

Are you implying that my 3.75 post per day are not of top-tier quality? I resent the implication of your capital letters almost as much as I resent breadless sandwiches, or "unwiches" as some people call them. Fuck unwiches.

By 'quality' posts do you mean like informative ones, or just posts that won't get you banned? xD I have a pretty high post per day, but whenever I join forums I post a ton. Most of them are pretty useless though.

Of course, I am referring to posts that won't get me banned. Do you really think I have the time to produce 100 thoughtful and informative posts per day? I have a full-time job and a life outside of teamliquid.

OT:
Since you demand to be informed, I went to wikipedia and got the first article at Special:Random (takes you to a random Wikipedia page).
Soaking Music
These are basically Christian songs played during prayer. Click the link for more details but next time somebody asks you if you've heard of this new underground Soaking Music artist you can tell him to fuck off. Consider yourself informed. You're welcome.

You could easily fill 50 of them a day by doing Live Report for GSL or something.
They are quality posts that require little effort (aka, short)

Was going to say the same thing. Personally, I find the posters who spam posts actually quite annoying; I don't want to have to see the same person reply to every single thread I read. It also seems like they are kind of desperate to be accepted in this community....in reality I find them less appealing than if they just posted moderately which is kind of ironic.

If this gets widespread attention, it'd be funny if a mod banned you on your last post of the week just to spite you 
|
So basically you plan to make maybe 2-5 Good posts and 95 filler posts a day to clutter up a forum that is already plagued with mass piss-poor posting.
Not going to make many people too happy with you, good luck though.

I wish you luck, dick. Pro-posting isn't as easy as you make it out to be. Do you not realize how many years some of us have been training and still haven't broken out of gold league?

I don't think Riku is a pro-poster. All she does is make a lot of blogs and respond to them, don't think she even frequents the other forums.

Mods are all fair and wonderful people who take it upon themselves, sans salary, to keep this forum clean. If they were not genuinely interested in improving the quality of this site, why would they even take up the heavy responsibilities? It is a shockingly thankless job as only the highest profile staff members really get their due love.
Through Hot_Bid's thick shades you can still see his love
And Chill, in his heart, is as sweet as a dove.
While Kennigit's exploits are known near and far,
And Rich's sweet wizardry makes him a star,
We must not forget all the rest of the staff
Who work in the background so on the behalf
Of all us great posters I thusly impart
A "Thank You!" Oh staff, you are e'er in my heart!

Kona was the best mass poster, haji was a close second. All the others are just annoying.

You'll soon find out that the idea of 100 quality posts a day won't be that hard. With only the 10 commandments being your form of qualifying a post, you'll soon see that not only is 100 easy, but that the commandments are rather lenient if you situate yourself in proper topics (avoid one's that really have no content to begin with).

Just enter every SC2 topic there is, and then LR some(you don't even have to watch the games, you can just let other people LR for you then rewrite in your own words). And since there are always multiple games going pretty much, you can use tabs to do this x3 or so.
Noone reads it anyway but atleast youl have 100 ''quality'' posts.
profit.

All right. I am back from a long day at work. Let the remaining 85 posts begin here:
Game plan:
1.) Hit all the subforums in which I usually post:
- Kpop
- Bleach/Naruto speculation (and hopefully tricking some people with the bump)
- Blogs, ofc.
- HoN/DotA.
- BW.
2.) Stay away from argumentative topics.
- The amount of reading necessary to make a quality contribution is unnecessarily large for my purposes. And few people read what anybody else says, no matter how well thought out or informative.
3.) Blog about it, poetically.

You make an excellent point. By acknowledging the legitimacy of what you say, I surely encourage you to respond in kind, after which I can continue to gain posts as I advance the conversation!
So that this post is not purely for the sake of advancing a conversation, I present another poem:
The quiet oft speak not much less
than those, the loud, themselves confess
to speak; the quiet one I find,
speaks just as much, but in his mind!

Remember the purge thread where the admins asked everyone to criticize and rate themselves?
That was fun and quite a few people were honest too!
lmao
Torte,
Internet sarcasm fails on so many levels. x-x This is why I got in the habit of posting so many smiley faces, but people still miss it. I guess we're all Romanian from time to time. D:
Anyway, Gummy like others have said IPL/MLG/GSL/GSTL/PL/OSL/MSL LR threads are the best. Kona is proof of this. ;0

I appreciate this, but that would be like 4-gating my way to victory every time. Sure it'll get me out of silver and maybe even into diamond, but it won't make me a stronger player as a whole.
I can echo back some "GOOOOOOOO FLAAAAASH!" as well as the next guy in a LiquidReport thread, but will that make me a better poster? No. That would only be artificially inflating my PDD, and once I run into an admin that knows how to counter my cheesy strat, I'll have to start all over.

The most pointless thing ever, Goodluck tho.

What's wrong with live reporting and calling the action in the thread?
If you know what is happening, or you can translate Korean. Even more incentive!
There is a difference between rambling nonchalantly and posting what is happening.

This is so, incredibly hard. I keep putting a little piece of my soul into each post and I've run out of pieces to give. I'm calling it quits guys.
You need to learn the tricks of the trade then. :/

I average about 30-40 posts a day per game sometimes in 3-4 different games at a time.
And im not even trying to post alot.
Another dandy.
The funny thing is. I haven't made one post in a Live Report thread or a mafia thread today. Sure, most are on the short side, but there is some value there. :/
Doing this seven days straight would be tiresome. I'm tired already and it's only been a day. if I recall I made well over 500+ posts during MLG Columbus. I took like a week off from posting after that lmao.
