For instance:
-Repostings.
I've been under the impression, that maybe I've posted and reposted a couple times too many. I'm not talking about 2 or 3 posts in a row (I avoid that as much as I can), but say out of 20 posts 5 or 6 of them are mine.
So I'll start thinking to myself, "Slow down a little Animaal", then I go to a thread where a regular has 8 or 9 out of 20 posts. Is this okay as long as its relevent and not disrespectful to the other posters? Is this encouraged even? Or is it frowned upon because sometimes another poster's posts might get overlooked?
-Editing your posts.
Sometimes I've either stated, or assumed one thing or another only to be disproven. I've almost always went back and edited my post to relflect a correction and/or a misconception. I dont just hastely post, but fact is, sometimes people other than yourself simply have a better idea.
Is it okay to edit this way? If so, would it be best to post something reflecting the change, or is it best to edit and leave it alone as to not disrupt the flow of the thread?
-How long winded can you be?
I've noticed some people reallllllllly love to talk. Like me. I personally love a long read and a detailed point of view. But where would you guys say the line is drawn?
For instance there is a thread "Dark Souls Without Backstabs". I enjoyed that thread so much that I went and got a six pack a couple nights just so I could read and write in that thread. I thought the conversation was one of the most diverse I've ever had regarding backstabs, and it was all discussed without anyone saying, "LIVE WITH IT YOU NOOB, etcetcetc". Some of my posts had 4 or 5 quotes. Is it better to directly sight your answers? Or would it be better to address one quote at a time?
-Response times.
There are a couple threads I have that I have been mulling over and trying to decide what I really believe based on the particular subject at hand. I'm not sure of how I want to go about the problem I addressed in the thread. So is it then, considered to be rude because I haven't got on and said, "Sorry guys, I'm perplexed."
If you want to direct your answers at me personally that's fine. I'm not easily offended. As a matter of fact if you can sight a specific instance regarding one of my posts inparticular, I would encourage it in order to give an example to someone more bashful wondering the same question.
I am not however, asking someone to critique me personally. Just basic feelings and attitudes regarding these things from people in this particular forum.
