How much posting is too much?

[Jayfatha]

I've got alot of stuff I want to post in the Music Disscusion Forum, but i'm not sure how long I should wait between threads to make another one. What would you say is the proper time length?

if they are all legitimate discussion topics then whatever. post away.

if (and i'm sure we all know which one it is) it's just a bunch of random crap, then keep it to yourself.

Try and refrain from making too many topics, unless they bring valuable discussion. I mean, only so many bands can have their own topic before they just turn into Ya I like them or No I don't threads. There are also plenty of "Umbrella" threads that can fit most any band you have. Just remember to make sure your topics have actual discussion value.

There's no succinct definition for too much posting. As long as it isn't spamming, trolling or post-whoring, you're in the proverbial clear.

You might also try searching to see if a certain topic is already posted. 9/10 times it seems like people post a "new" topic without searching to see if it already existed. Unless of course you are coming at the topic with a completely new angle.

There's no ceiling set for maximum posts in a given interval of time. However, there is a ceiling for maximum stupidity. And if you break that ceiling, then, well, you're really stupid.

Posts per day doesn't really say much. If a PPD value is high, than all it does is raise a flag signaling a moderator to check out your post history to make sure you aren't spamming crap on the forum. If your posts are actually relevant to the thread such that they further the discussion within, then it's fine. Remember, just because you extend a post to a whopping 2 or 3 sentences doesn't necessarily make it better than a 1-word post. It's all about content. Content content content. Of course, this is only the case if you do plan to post a lot. If you don't, as many here on SH do, then you can get away with some rather low quality posts. If you plan to post a lot, then you better have both the intelligence and the dedication to back it up.

(Edit: Let me elaborate on the whole "low quality post" thing. I'm not saying that if you don't post often, you're allowed to post shit. Rather, if you don't post often and you happen to make bad posts, you're not as likely to suffer from punishment as someone who both posts often and makes bad posts. Whether you are a frequent poster or mainly a lurker, please, utilize that brain of yours and make this forum a better place with good posts. And if you can't do that, then don't post. It's easy!)

In the end, just use your head. Common sense. Etiquette. That sort of thing.

If you plan on making a mass of threads though, definitely plan to space them out. Furthermore, attempt to find a common link between them in a way such that you can cut down just how many threads you want to make. If you somehow can't think of anything and you really want to inject 20 threads into Music Discussion, don't. Space them out. Posts are one thing, but threads are... well, they're different. And use the search button first to make sure you aren't making a repeat thread. Clones aren't cool. Well, that's not true, but clones of threads aren't cool.

(Edit: Oh, and definitely take note of what the above posters have said about making threads. One general tip I can give is that, before making a new thread, ask yourself the following: "what type of responses can I expect?" If the posts are generally boring and lack any discussion value (e.g. "I like/dislike them"), contain flames (e.g. "daevlol has shit taste"), attract morons (e.g. "This makes me a sahhhhhhhhhd nekomimi"), etc. then please refrain or rethink your opening post. It's not too difficult trying to predict this type of stuff, especially if you're accustomed to the forum scene in general.)

If you've got a lot to say in Music Discussion, fair bet it's going to be individual bands. In that case, there's a general discussion topic for most genres, so you're better off discussing the bands in there rather than having a new topic for each one.
