Is it possible to post too much?

He was a naughty bugger, but the beer is good.

 

eh, WBAYDN will do that for ya

 

@MutuelsMark since you're asking, here is some advice. Advice that is coming from me personally, not as a mod, mind you.

Pace yourself. People tend to view someone suddenly starting a ton of threads in a short time as spammy, and then you get a reputation. Also, as some have mentioned, when starting a thread, make sure the topic hasn't been covered recently. If it has, then just post your thoughts in that thread - don't start a new one.

 

If we only posted when we had something worth saying most of us would have a post count of zero!

Cheers!

 

Maybe I needed a /s at the end of the sentence!

Cheers!

 

To add to this great advice, you'll also burn yourself and others out by forcing too many new threads, resulting in fewer replies to your threads.

I recommend writing down your ideas for new threads, refine them, create clear titles (I've had to alter a some of yours already as they were too vague), and then post the ones that you think will benefit the community the most. Not all at once, but maybe one or two a week.

In between this, scan the forums for existing threads that interest you and reply if you feel that you've got something to contribute to the discussion.

And what @beerjerk666 said. Assuming that you're drinking while participating, I'd check out the daily What beer are you drinking now?, weekly New Beer Weekend threads, and the periodic tasting threads that occur. All great outlets for those looking to post frequently and connect with others.
