What does this mean? What is the etiquette? Am I doing something wrong?

POWER-POSTING

Power-posting is when board members post 'empty' messages to the board, in order to simply increase their number of posts more quickly. Examples of power-posting are replying to a message with only 'LOL' or 'I agree', but failing to contribute anything further to the discussion. If you reply to a message, make sure you have something to say. Power posting clutters up the forums, clutters up the 'new posts' function, and uses extra bandwidth and server space. While we don't mind people using bandwidth to chat usefully on the board, we do mind people using it just because they want a more impressive 'post counter'. If you're not sure if you're power-posting, take a moment and think it over before you post. If all your post contains is a 'LOL' or an emoticon, it's a power-post. If it adds something to the discussion, it isn't.

I don't think posting "I agree" alone is a bad thing. Because, it's not a thoughtless comment - you are agreeing with whoever said whatever. Thusly, you are supporting whatever they are saying, and that contains substance. SO I duly disagree with such.

Posted by Tuis on Apr-11-2007 00:24:

I agree.

Posted by Rasidel Slika on Apr-11-2007 01:21:

Thank you for agreeing, I appreciate it.

And here I was wondering all this time why admins get pissed at me when I hijack a topic trying to push my penis enlargement pills.

They really work too. You guys should try them.:
