How to check post bursting through ninjastic space

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I believe that even top posters won't be able to make 10 constructive posts in an hour because we as humans need to have some rest after making some posts.

I guess it would depend on the strict definition of "constructive".  If that doesn't necessarily include post length, 10 posts in an hour is not only possible but I think I've done it before and probably others have as well.  Sometimes there are discussions where there's actually back-and-forth conversations between members (which unfortunately isn't the case most of the time), and if that back-and-forth is fast enough, it'd be easy to make 10 or more in an hour.

I don't think rest has anything to do with posting.  It's more a matter of finding threads that catch your interest and in which you can write something halfway decent instead of just writing a very generic, vague, and poorly-constructed series of words--and that's generally what burst posters do.  I've seen them in action plenty of times, and I can say with certainty that there's only one exception that I've ever seen to that rule but I'll be damned if I can remember that member's name.  He got called out for it, but the stuff he was writing was by no means crappy.

If you post one post and then post another if there is not much time gap between the two posts, then that post is considered as a burst post. If you are involved in a campaign and are asked to refrain from posting bursts, you must post with a gap. But if you do 15 to 20 posts every day then you won't get much time gap after each post, because if you don't get enough time gap due to excess posting then that post will not be considered as bust post. If you post four or five per day, make sure to take a break after each post.

I have actually came across some profile that are doing post bursting which are not encouraging and how to know bursting posts are just click on the users profile check the time between when he creates or comments on a topic. Usually there are some discussion you would engaged yourself with like an active thread or topic where questions are often coming you can be replying to them but doesn't subjected the campaign you are promoting.

10 to 20 minutes is enough time to post between different sections but it should be in line with what the topic is saying most people often reply to a thread based on the title without reading the content and when replying you can be partially off the track of what they are saying in the whole thread by so doing to me I can consider it as post bursting I don't know of other members.

For a campaign participant's it doesn't mean you must complete all your post within a week but the must important thing is to meet your minimal requirements, than to involve yourself with post bursting.

I don't think I've ever gotten that far, what I do usually write is about 5 posts in that time, which is when I usually connect during the week, sometimes it's in 50 minutes or an hour and 20 minutes. Or it's 4 posts instead of 5 but writing about a post every 12 minutes on average in an hour I do.

I was once accused of being a burst poster, which I didn't agree with, because to begin with I wouldn't be, but if you look at where I write (usually in the first or second page) and the quality of what I write, which without being top is not bad, and it was recognized by those who said that I was burst posting, it is clear that I am not. And precisely my manager, who is the one quoted in the OP, doesn't think I am either.

Burst posting is not always bad and those posts are not only bad in quality.

If they are good posts, who care about burst posting?

The issue with burst posting is with it posters usually make shit posts. So if burst posts are shit posts, it will become problems for campaign managers because they will waste money of business companies by paying to shit posts and shit posters. They as campaign managers are against low quality posts, not only burst posts.

Posts are make after few hours don't mean they are quality posts and can be shit posts too.

If you're doing that and writing at the level that you are (which indeed is above average for bitcointalk IMO) you're definitely not burst posting.  The way I see it, burst posting is like hardcore pornography.  It's hard to define it precisely, but you know it when you see it (that's paraphrasing SCOTUS Justice Potter Stewart, FYI).  When I look at my feed of unread threads and I look down the list at the most recent poster and see that the same member's name appears in most of the first ten threads and maybe even more, when I look to see what that member wrote it's a few lines of nonconstructive, generic nonsense.  Every single time--and I've seen that happen more times than I'd care to.

You got accused of burst posting?  That's just plain stupid, and your accusers ought to flog themselves in shame.

I agree with you that with back and forth conversations between two members it's actually possible to make more than 10 posts in an hour, but during those conversations we really don't care much about the constructiveness of the posts but focus mainly on continuing the conversation so that it can be helpful for both parties and also for the other members who later read that conversation.

I don't think rest has anything to do with posting.  It's more a matter of finding threads that catch your interest and in which you can write something halfway decent

Rest has nothing to do with the posting in general but as humans we have limited energy and sometimes we really have to take rests in order get enough energy to think better. The interest in a thread is the most important thing without it we really can't write anything helpful at all. Sometimes we have interest in threads and we are also knowledgeable enough to write something in that thread but due to lack of energy we may not be able to make very helpful posts.

This the most important part of writing a good reply post to a thread. Find something you understand and can relate to. I am in posting and reading mode at the moment. I read 1 or 2 pages of a section. I look at 1 or 2 pages of my last posts. I look at the last 20 posts I merited and I look at the last 20 posts I got.

I read 3 pages of
meta
I read bitcoin discussion
I read economics
I read mining

And this can all take 2 hours time I may only find 2 threads to reply to.  Or six or 7.

This is a routine I do 2 times every day so say 4 hours a day on the forum is very typical time frame for me.

But mining and gear sales is my business. They got slow and I opened a signature I do not do that very often.

In order to do a good job I spend more time looking for good threads .

If you can type faster then 50 wpm and I know people well over 100 wpm then you need to register your hands as weapons, you might be posting past the speed limit and people don't appreciate.   I'm definitely on your side philipma1957 as I could do 50wpm before I was 10, it was required for early computer use, coding so I self learnt.
   Now I have to be aware not everyone can type that fast and it could be seen as a negative, I definitely try to go back and check I wrote in a readable way hopefully but the onus is on the writer pretty much.   I have 17k posts elsewhere believe it or not so I actually post far less then I could most of the time, I got sympathy for anyone who can type very fast anyhow


I also noticed some terms in a sig campaign, the moderator or operator of that campaign Royce was offering  a bounty on AI posts. :

▶️ If I find campaign members breaching these terms, I will remove them from the campaign immediately.
▶️ If you find AI-written posts for this campaign and report them to me publicly or via PM, you will receive the weekly payment instead of the accused campaigner (if your report was successful). Please include as much evidence as possible when submitting a report.

I thought it was worth mentioning and seems very generous to me but please do not just spam him (that'd be ironic ), be very certain before accusing anyone on this forum and have defined proof to give.

On days I am very relaxed I can do 55-60 but not as easy as it was when I was keypunching data entry cards in the navy. When we were in port and you finished the cards you could knock off work.
So the three off us entering would race.  We all could do low 60 speed with no errors.

Fuck that is almost fifty years ago 1978-2023 45 to be exact.

As for burst 💥 posting I think this is my 60th post in three days. since last payout. I only need 40,but in the next few,days I will post at least 50 more. Say 110 for the week.
