As a new member I have just noticed the different titles given to members and it got me wondering about when these titles were given out.
I have therefore just been reading the forum FAQ and I came across this…

Post Spam – adding short replies of just a few words, with the purpose of increasing one's post count...

After reading some of the forum posts on the site it certainly looks like "post spamming" appears to go on - I have noticed certain members seem willing to post anything just to increase their post count therefore getting bigger and better titles. Members are then congratulating each other on making a certain number of posts and even racing each other to see who can get to a certain target first.
Now I am all for a bit of fun on forums and I don’t want to stop people posting (most members seem to post worthwhile comments) but there doesn’t seem to be anything done about people who are blatantly flouting the above rule!
To prove my point here’s a thread that I came across – just see how this innocent thread soon degenerates into post spamming…
Just a bit of fun
