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.
