Donot Create Unneccessary posts to increase post count!!!

Post by Faraz.Fazil »

No offences to anyone but I have noticed some people make unneccessary posts and create bogus replies just to increase their post count.
Also some people create tens of duplicate posts.

I can quote many examples if required.

Already we are having forum database size and webspace issues.
We persuaded fawad to disable pruning so that no valuable posts with information are lost even though the size increases.

So Please members, post only revelant and stuff required.
You can post as much as you want, as long as the posts are valid and
are not crappy or bogus posts and also donot create duplicates.

Donot uneccessarily create posts just to increase your post count.
Do so by legal methods...by helping others....blah blah

Just an advice.

Now, dont say who i am to say this.
I try my best to help all you guyz here...so I can post a request if i feel.

Again this is a sincere request.

Dear Faraz.Fazil,
Salam,

Sir, I agree with you but i think there must be a FAQ or something like a newbie notice after reading that they will able to Access the forum from their Username and Password. any way its just an idea and i also try my level best to help peoples here in LinuxPakistan.Net instead of i am out of touch from Linux From last one and half year. and for creating hits @ Post then its not a good idea. the answer must be unique. i think All Helper must Restricted that if some one helping a newbie with their problem and if you think its is the right way to solve his problem then don't post the msg at forum.

Best Regards.

AOA,
Guys, we already have a List posting guideline. It'd be great if you guys would write up a forum posting guideline like this one and link it from LinuxPakistan FAQs.

Guys, kindly add your posting guidelines to the wiki. When we have a reasonably complete document, we can lock it for all eternity :)
