I find it to be annoying whe people just post a whole thread with no content to try and get the bonus, because they don't realize that they still wont get the bonus as those posts aren't "contributory"!

Ahyup; but they'll figure it out when it comes up that theyve been denied.
But I've said it before, maybe they should lower the requirement, and try to get less quantity, and more quality posts.
Theres only so many times you can say what your favorite food is, or what to blame the economy on---or even if we really landed on the moon.
And then of course you get the endless sex and gender based questions.

Trust me if you had seen some of the crap that has been posted you would know what they are talking about. There are some that flat out copy other people's posts and post them as if they were their own as well as many other shady tricks just to try and get the forum bonus...

Yes, they do annoy me. I think everyone should be held to the 'contributory' standard. For the people who follow the rules there should be some recourse from these silly posts. Of course, they won't be compensated but in the meantime we have a whole month of it to put up with.

Yes, they do annoy me. But they probably won't last long on here anyway, once they find out that they can't make any money by cheating the system. It does seem like all the topics have already been discussed, although I can talk endlessly about politics!

Obviously you have not been here long enough to know the difference.

I am new to posting. I don't understand why you would want to fake postings. There are alot of good topics to comment on. The people are nice and I like it. It's not just about $3 per month. We all like to share what we think. We like to interact with people. It's just sad people are always trying to take a short cut. :crybaby2:

What gets me most is when people who post legitimate, articulate and serious post but put them in the wrong section. I've seen too many debate topics in the off-topic section and too many off-topic post in the debate and discuss section.

Well thats the problem with people who've been around on the forums for a long time.
You end up repeating yourself a lot and new people post same old questions.
Some people just dont realize what 'contributory' mean.
I do agree with sharing thoughts, but I wish theyd lower the number requirement to get the quality up.

I do find it annoying when people obviously just throw something out there to get their 30 posts in. But like others said, it gets old seeing the same topics and same discussions over and over. Most threads in the debate & discuss topic eventually turn to Christian/Non-Christian or Racism or Gender-Biased discussions. This is fine, I just feel it's hard to contribute when I have said my piece over and over. I have been guilty of starting a thread that was similar to another (completely on accident because it was before I was a member). And people kindly referred me to that discussion for their opinions. I am afraid it will get to that point about every topic.

I agree for the most part with the notion of posts that have real meaning.  I wonder if a requirement for longer posts and fewer of them could work.

If anyone is posting nonsense on purpose due to boredom or lack of creativity, just ignore those posts/threads that are obviously what you define as “fake.” Their actions speak louder than words for others to see and be laughed at. ;D Why let it bother you as long as you don’t do it yourself?

Fake posts annoy me almost as much as people who unnecessarily feel the need to control others.

My guess would be that they probably feel it is necessary.
