what does "post whoring" mean?

 

Basically anyone who posts just to post.. Like say someone has an opinion on something and posts it, then someone replies saying "I agree" and that's it.. That's post whoring.. Nobody cares that someone agreed, and there was no sense in posting it..

Post whoring could also be referenced to someone who spends some ridiculously large amount of time on the boards and replies to/creates like 200 posts in less than an hour. (That's an exaggeration by the way) But you get the idea.

 

I agree (yes! post # 828)

 

Yes, that is an exaggeration... you can only get 120 posts in an hour

 

thanks guys, now i know.
and knowing is half the battle

 

since we are on this subject what does WOT mean?
the only one i no is BTW

 

Wide Open Throttle

 

WOT-Wide Open Throttle
IMO-In My Opinion or IMHO In my Honest Opinion
IIRC-If I Recall Correctly
SOTP-Seat of the Pants

There's more, but I'm too messed up to remember.

 

FYI- For You Information
TB- Throttle Body
l think that's it.

 

I know a couple

LMAO= Laughing my *** off
ROFLMAO= Rolling on floor laughing my *** off
WTF=What the.... you know the rest
IBTL=In before the lock(i do not reccomend using this one)

If i think of anymore, i will let you know

 

I prefer WFO over WOT (Wide f'ing open)

Anyone remember RTTA (read the title above) or TTSIA (the title says it all)? Or am I just an old computer geek? They were both used when the title of the message was so obvious and short that there was no need to write anything else. It saved precious bytes on 10 meg (not gig) hard drives...

And yeah, if you remember the sticky from the moderators a few weeks ago, any of those dumb In Before The Lock messages will result in immediate board suspension. That anacronym goes along with the post-whoring idea.

I thought IMHO was in my humble opinion... guess either/or works.

 

RTFM - Read the F'ing Manual

 

rotflshipal = rolling on the floor, laughing so hard I peed a little.
