Default Posting is / is not

Some of this is rehash, but with the season coming, worth the discussion. Please add yours.
------------------------

First and Foremost, this site is a Dallas Mavericks discussion board. I dig the mavs and that is why I’m here. In fact, I never posted to the Lounge until this year and only then because I went crazy in the off-season. You can clutter up the Lounge all you want to. Please give General Mavs Discussion the honor that it deserves.

Posting is the expression of your thoughts on a subject in order to demonstrate your interest and knowledge and to increase the interest and knowledge of others.

Posting is an opportunity to learn. As such, take the time to read through a thread before posting to it. You will learn quite a bit, and will find out if what you have to say on the matter has been said. If it has been said, there’s no need to say it again. The world will continue to turn if you don’t post.

Posting is not voting. If 10 people think Raef sucks and 9 people think Raef does not suck, it does not by itself mean that Raef sucks. So a post that says “Raef sucks” adds nothing to a discussion about Raef. Add quality, not quantity.

Posting is not a race. There are people here with thousands upon thousands of posts. You don’t have to be one of them. You can’t hide ignorance behind a diamond member status. Your intelligence will come through with a single post.

What a great post, jacktruth.

If only everyone would take this to heart.

Excellent post Jacktruth

This part bears repeating:

I'm sure all the other Elite and Guru status members would agree as well. It would be nice if we could remove post counts all together. Maybe we could celebrate anniversaries on the board instead. But even then a newbie could post just as good posts if not better than someone who had been here several years.

You should be our next D-M moderator.

Enough to say about your post-thread.
