0 Kiwi Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 We love you. While OT is useful for members to get to know each other outside bass, the content doesn't help our search engine rankings much and in the past a clique of members used OT to artificially inflate their post count. They were probably confusing quantity with quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I see, the off topic doesn't increase content count, so it is odd that you can win the day with it - I think something has got lost in translation - I will look into it ok, looked into it, it isn't sadly an option without a plugin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 neepheid Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Winning the day? I didn't even know there was a competition. I would argue that I'm all about quality over quantity, but that's just code for bone idleness... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 fleabag Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Its the reason threads like the DOI exist. A massive back patting exercise started by a newbie ( back then ) who wanted to get their likes up faster, so as to look like a real trooper, and lose that ' i'm new here with a low like count ' status Only the sad and kids want to look popular on a tiny insignificant miniscule corner of the internet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 MacDaddy Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share Posted November 16, 2023 I am yet again the bestest Basschatter in the whole wide world ever. At least until tomorrow. It wasn't all memes this time. Mostly memes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tauzero Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 You "win the day" if you post the most liked posts, not just the most posts, so there's both quantity and quality involved. I must have been on form on October 7th, or very drunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Frank Blank Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I have won the day 383 times, almost exclusively off-topic posts in the DOI, something I'm rather embarrassed about. I would personally prefer for off-topic posts not to garner statistics, after all, this is a site specifically for the discussion of bass. There should, of course, be an off-topic section but the fact that I have won the day so often for making funny posts on a obscure branch of off-topic when there are hundreds of expert bass players sharing priceless information seems faintly ridiculous to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
