Post Junkies

To the OP, the thing I do is when I find someone that post's to build a count.... go to the top toolbar, select "user cp" from the menu select "settings & options", click on "edit ignore list". Add the poster to your list... Done...

That's unfortunate. There are multiple post whores here who are excellent brewers as well. Not claiming to be one of them, but you'll miss out on a lot good advice if ignore them.

Is this the thread killa thread? I'm new here and can't read or use the search function.

I agree, that's why I wait till I add a name. If the sum of the posts exceeds the advice given then I ignore them. It's like some Chatty Cathy at a party that blabs with no thought, I tune them out. If someone adds a nugget of information once in awhile I listen. I still follow your post's, thanks for the help

I can post all day at my day job but I cannot brew at that time. You're right though, I need to brew a LOT more.

yeah....so.....this is awkward......but....yeah....i was obviously joking.....man......this is awkward.....

I used to think along similar lines as the OP. Then I realized some people achieve their high numbers in the taproom. I look at the #s more out of curiosity than anything else. I try and look how at the information is presented and if it seems logical. I also don't worry about how a person spells or constructs a sentence. I've found that the ability (or lack of) to write (see some of my posts) doesn't have a direct relationship to how good or knowledgeable of a brewer they are. You should also look at the time of day they were posting. Anything after 9pm, ya gotta add a buzz factor.

I wish I had a job where I could play on the internets

I have pushed pohoing to the limits that I'm capable of in the thread killa thread. I wish the number didn't carry over to the rest of the forums, as my post count is mostly from TKT now (I am really at about 400 if you don't count that nonsense).
But it's clear if you think about it; that post counts don't matter at all. Now and then I've seen a true expert with under 10 posts give some of the most educated information I've ever seen on HBT. It's the content that counts. If you know a little about what your asking, you can see who really knows the answer, and who's just guessing.
The pohoing I hate most is people trying to help out, but not really knowing what they're talking about. They're posts might as well read: "I read this thread, and don't know the answer". Then other people have to read over this junk, and no one wins.
