Anyone else notice his name is bcmadkitty… Not maddog… Hes another member guise. Hahahahahaa

Its hard to effectively communicate without facial expressions and voice tone, messaging and texts often get misinterpreted, like bro said up higher a lil bit. Using “i feel” and “i hear where ur comin from” are good sentence starters for effective communication.

It is critical to properly and effectively choose our words so as to best convey the exact message that is trying to be communicated. This is especially critical when we are engaging in disconnected conversation in a very much 1 dimensional format.

Language skills are deteriorating thanks to the new SMS vernacular. This is easily corrected. Unfortunately most people don’t take the time to comprehend where they are when they choose to engage in conversation. All we need to do is discourage bad habits and remind people that proper communications always in good form. I personally dislike using txt-message acronyms when using the medium.

I always take a look at people’s “Thank you” count.

I am not saying we should make a point to count every single thank you, or to only post to see if we get a thank you… but glancing over at someone’s thank you count can give you some sort of indication of whether their posts are mostly time wasters, or if they provide good posts.

Now, I am not trying to point anyone out, but just to give the OP an indication:

Bcmadkitty: 2000+ posts, less than 100 thank yous.

Compare that to some of the other users who have posted in this thread:

yoyospirit: 2000+ posts, over 500 thank yous
Nemyo: 1000+ posts, nearly 200 thank yous
GregP: 2000+ posts, over 400 thank yous
BanjoSpins: Under (yes, under) 1000 posts, 250+ thank yous

Again - “thank yous” are pretty subjective and shouldn’t be used as an absolute, and I wouldn’t want people to post only when they think they might get a thank you…

BUT… if you compare many of the users on this forum to your own thank you count, maybe you just aren’t as helpful as you think you are.

I don’t mean to come down on you, I think your posts are mostly positive and think there is a good space here for you to fit in, but as others have said, before posting, just ask yourself, “is this necessary, is it relevant, is this helpful, is this accurate?”

I dunno. most of my thanks come from me posting sarcastic jokes.

[frodoslair]

^ Well, at least that’s entertaining… and probably the perfect response to someone who has overposted

[Bcmaddog]

But some people just don’t give thank you or aren’t on the website. T Y can’t be given on the mobile app.

The Bcmadkitty was a Pril Fools joke…

Thanks for not comparing me! ;D ;D

I don’t look at thank yous at all. Some people thank BST posts. They thank jokes or someone who points out the obvious (but the thanker agrees). Some just thank their friends’ posts. It is no measure of post quality at all in my opinion. I don’t even look at them or care how many people have. I often forget to use them.

PLUS, I could get TONS of thank toys for making a guide about something or from Stick it Click it Win it.

@Waylon

You can’t go around correcting everyone and playing moderator and not expect people to finally have seen enough to say something.

Sorry if I hurt your feelings but I’m not the first or only person to say something about it. This little pity party isn’t going to help. Just leave people be.

Aside from that, your posts are generally relevant and a positive contribution.

half compliment sandwhich.

@Mctron

@Bcmaddog

I having been getting post back saying I’m a jerk, I am not posting anything that quality or a contribution.

And also that I am annoying people.

So I guess if I’m bothering everyone, it’s best for me to leave and come back in the future…

Sorry for any trouble I caused or annoyance.

April the 1st, that date this post, It don’t add up

april fools. Good one! (Sarcasm)

It seems like helpful posts get thanked less than witty responses do.

And yet we still thank all the posts in this thread… how ironic.
