Whenever I find myself on a forum that rewards a certain amount of posts I seem to spend a week or so binge posting just to get that status.

Anyone else do the same.

Who said anything about other forums?

Anyway, what status do you have to gain to get a cookie?

I've got something stuck, but it's definitely not my status.

Stating it's only purpose is to boost post count isn't a clever thing to do...

Spamming for higher post count is very much frowned upon..

Instantly Bannable Offenses: (http://guides.macrumors.com/Help:Forum_Rules#Instantly_Bannable_Offenses)

2. Spam and overposting. Not just being a prolific poster, but posting the same exact post many times, posting multiple pointless posts in the same thread, making numerous posts with no real content, or posting for the purpose of gaining a higher post count. This will get you banned.

Nope. There are far more effective ways of measuring my junk.

I did that back when I really wanted access to the marketplace. All of my posts were useful though.

Hmm, well-- centimeters aren't divided into 16ths... so, no. ;D

Good try though.
