There are a few who just drop in and basically spam their political agendas and beliefs, even go as far as posting spam emails and quoting nutjob bloggers and conspiracy theories. Hell, one guy recently posted that the moon landings were faked.

The political crap has been getting deep lately. Oh well, just more to skim and ignore.

What makes a good poster? Ask Jimbuna or Sailor Steve.
Negotiate a good commission rate with Neal based on the number of posts you contribute

But on a more serious note and as already pointed out:

Be mindful and respectful of other peoples views, the community comes from a wide and diverse set of people from different countries and cultures etc.

If you disagree with someone, say so but in a manner deemed appropriate and acceptable by the community at large.

IMHO I judge a person not by their post count but more by the quality and detail of what they post.

On a personal note I suppose the main (but not sole reason) for my high post count is the fact I have spent countless hours helping GWX users with their technical enquiries (and it doesn't stop there because I also host the Torrent and TS on a home server as well as sending fairly large numbers of games discs worldwide....all unnoticed in the background) added to the fact I happen to rate this fine community and consider the site owner and many here who I have met in person as my friends.

This list could be far larger if I sat and thought on it for a little longer.

I'll leave you with two examples of what I consider to be small pearls of wisdom and what we should all continue to be mindful of:

None of us are as clever as all of us.

Opinions are like ar$eholes, we all have one.
