Yes I know, the point of a forum is to post and discuss stuff, but making posts like "I wish I could help", "I don't know how to help you", or just things that make the conversation be in the exact same position as it was before. If you are writing a post ask yourself, "Self, will this post contribute to the discussion in any way, or will it just be a complete waste of time?" or "Self, does this post convey the exact same thing that was said five times before by other people without adding anything new?". Those are the things that you should think about before posting. Yes, I know making your post count rise is cool, I've been there before and I've made every attempt to change to better, and yes it feels cool that you are collaborating. Except you aren't you are just writing the same stuff others did. If you can't help in the problem or give a solution, don't bother posting. Not posting is already a way of saying that you don't know.

I for example (yes, I know it sounds narcissistic talking about myself this way, but hey, I know myself better than I know others) I don't post almost anything in the following forums: Bugs, 087-B and mods. Why? Because I know I won't be adding anything of use. I don't find many bugs. I don't know how to fix bugs. I don't play 087-B that much. I don't have any interest in mods. This is why I don't post there, because I am of no help at all. Me posting there just for the sake of posting would just be plain stupid and pointless. Just don't post if you don't have anything to add.

Aside from pointless threads, we also need to stop with pointless posts.

^ best example of people thinking some topics are pointless when it isn't.

Didn't realize that was sarcasm. Sorry! :x

Writing about it on a small forum in which the max amount of people active is around 10 to 20 will do less. When complaining about a new update on a certain webpage the best thing to do is contact SAID webpage and filing a complaint. Not bitching about it on a forum that has nothing to do with it. What did you think, that posting it here will make google realize their mistakes?
