Replies to threads and or posting?

Are replies to one's own threads or postings considered 1 POSTING and apart of the 30 postings within one month bonus?

I don't think that if you simply carry on a conversation with yourself that it would be considered a valid post, although I talk to myself offline all the time.  lol

If you post a topic or make a comment and someone replys and then you add something in the same thread, you have posted 2 valid comments.  I think people get very hung up on what is a valid comment.

Just think about it as a normal conversation.  If you were in a room and made meaningless comments, people would probably start to avoid you and start looking for the straight jacket.  If you ask real questions, post an opinion, comment on a thread.  Whatever would contribute to a conversation in this forum and make it part of a vibrant community then you have a valid post.

TY Karla for replying. Most times there's not enough time for me to read the rules in here, but I'll work on seeking the forum rules for specific q's I have  .

I wouldn't think so. to be on the safe side don't post to your own posts! You could end up loosing your account.

I think it would could if you started a thread, and then somebody posted something, so you replied to them in your own thread. Not if you were talking to yourself, because you arent contributing anything to anybody. If you are answering another person in your own thread, and your response brings something to the thread, is helpful or thoughtful, then I think you will be credited.

Not sure? I'll have to read the forum rules and learn from other members' experiences with paid forum postings
