6.5 out of 10

Joined in 31st December 2001, but only have 490 posts. My average post per day is .24, so my "contributions" might not be up to par. Some answers do not need long overly verbose responses, so I do try to keep those short. Otherwise I try to be thorough in my responses. I hope when I do post that my ideas do not hamper tl.net.

Ima give myself a 7.3 rating. I knowingly screen myself before posting anything. I ask myself, "Is this worthless, or would this be worthwhile for someone to read?" If its the former, I immediately hit the backspace button.

Next, while I type something, I think, "By saying what I'm saying, am I inviting a bunch of flaming?" If I find the answer to be "yes," I press backspace out of that thread as well.

I know that when I read certain threads and I have certain points to make, I make sure that I'm not repeating something that has been said before. If it has said before and I have no further contribution, I either keep reading or look through the next thread.

I usually don't edit my grammar nor my punctuation, but I do focus on ensuring its accuracy as I write it. I write with the full intention of making logical statements and sentences that everyone in the community can understand.


I don't recall having any one-liners on TeamLiquid, but I may be wrong in throwing the towel there. I'm just not entirely sure, but if I do, then they're either few or have some relevance to what their context is, I hope.

The only thread where I knowingly made an effort to change my writing style was in the Mafia thread, where, being mafia, I had to attempt to deceive others. Speaking too much or in too large or logical sentences would have been too suspicious, so I attempted to blend in but disappear alongside the other townies. Of course, that didn't work out too well. =P

Depending on a persons modesty, I'm willing to bet that almost everyone believes themselves to be a better poster and a better contribution, than they really are. Hell I know I thought that, but reading through my last 15-20 posts, it varied between useful and thought out and just plain nonsensical dribble... in caps lock.

If you think about it, a discussion requires all the different styles of posting, you need the long drawn out posts, establishing points you also need the one liner refutes and the occasional. "Your mom" reply to keep the topic from not getting too serious. I believe you need an awesome time dedicated blog, as well as one that just tells us you took the worlds biggest crap and how good you feel now.

Hell even 4chan memes well timed and in moderation aren't hurting anyone. But I believe the biggest problem at the moment is that the forums are being dominated by latter, the lower quality filler crap.

i havent posted too much recently, but i guess a 5-6.

my posting has gotten a lot worse though. i used to try to contribute as much as i could to the strategy forum, watching replays and giving advice whenever i felt i was capable of doing so. i also used to post a lottt in tourneys/brood war when i followed the korean scene closely. those posts were usually argumentative and sometimes insulting, but they were pretty long and sort of well-informed (i'd hope so anyway).

now i dont follow the pro scene anymore so i dont have anything to say there and i've been too lazy to post in the strategy forum. i think a lot of my recent posts have been 'LOL' type posts, or yelling at ppl for posting stupid things in the strategy forum. i've been kinda mean maybe.

i dont think i contribute a great deal to the site but i dont think i harm it in any way either.

edit: actually im looking at my recent posts and i've been very insulting lately. ill try to stop.
what the fuck do you have to say for yourself now you protoss jackass can you retaliate in any way

I'd give you an 8 or so. I mean, ok, you have like a single one-liner every ten posts, but the vast majority of your activity here is positive and helpful. Props.

You have a couple 'OMG' one-liner types. Overall it's neither good, nor bad. You also have a lot of fluff posts:

Why purge me, I hope you're being sarcastic? I'm not going to try and bother giving myself a rating because I think the entire concept of numerical ratings on everything from movies to video games to Teamliquid posting habits is rather silly and pointless, but at the same time I'm curious where I happen to fall on Beyonder's scale.


Plexa was just using his "evil photoshopping" to look at an idea. If not, I'm in the same boat,

Agreed, a lot of your recent posts are not-useful filler or one-liners. I'd give you a 5. Nothing out of line, but nothing useful.

Overall though, your posting history isn't bad, so it's just a bit of introspection - I need to do that as well

Last 2 weeks I'd give myself a 9, before that a solid 2.5 or even less haha.

I'm a 10/10 IRCer though! <3

edit: I know you're checking me out now LR and I can see you like what your eyes are telling you.

Hmm i'd give myself a 3 or a 4. Most posts really dont contribute anything important to the sites main focus. too many 1 liners which are superfluous.

6.5-7 maybe? I try and keep myself from the oneliners and only post when I think that I can help. I don't have many posts so I guess I could contribute more, but that's just me.

I'd rate myself a 6/10 because basically half of my posts are one liners about how much I adore X progamer, but I do not flame people. My recent stream of posts, like last 20 or so, have been completely weak and do not add anything useful. I see several posts that are like 3 words long, but most of them belong there such as the three word story game or a complex expression of emotion that came out as simply.. haha.

Oh boy, I really don't know. I've seen some 6's that I post better than, but, like everyone else, I've recently made a few less-than-amazing posts.

I'd say 6. Sorta inconsistent, but I try to be generally helpful. I guess some reflection is required.

I'm a new poster, so I don't really have much standing. I'd rate myself a 6ish, some one liners (although they are on topic and sometimes they're helpful), some helpful posts in Raithed's calc threads :p, lots of questions.
I'll try to post longer and more helpful things more.

Maybe like a seven or six and a half. I certainly don't post often enough to even really bother with. I generally try to be relevant but am probably not a lot of the time.

I don't know if I should ask this, but can someone tell me how my posting is? Earlier in this thread, I posted my opinion of my own posting, but I don't know if I'm going to get temp-banned, a slap on the wrist, held up as a shining example of manliness, or if ninjas will invade my house and execute me. It's the not knowing that really gets me though. Can some kind mod tell me if I need to defend my house against ninja attacks? (I don't have scanner or ebay up yet)
