    Definition of a post pad vs legit post

    So we've been having a lot of discussion about post padding, count, etc.

    So what exactly defines a post as a "padded" post? And on the flip side, what defines a post as a legitimate post?

    Good question
    There's no panic like the panic you momentarily feel when you've got
    your hand or head stuck in something

    That all depends on who makes the post in question.

    So for some no matter what they post, it is automatically ruled a post pad?

    pad?
    I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.

    wait, wait, I think I got it...you post a lot of replies to make your post count go up! But why would you do that?

    Alternatively, you could post something legitimately pad related, such as:

    I like these volleyball pads, they are way cool:

    Well this post is itself a pad as I have nothing useful to add.


    Wait...I just defined a padding post...so I had relevant content...so I guess it's legitimate.


    But then my original statement is false and therefore my post is pointless and as such a pad....

    Uhh...I dont think Im getting anywhere....
