      One thing that may help out ML is that there is no rating system based on number of posts/etc. so you don't have people trying to "move up to the next level" so to speak by posting garbage.

      That was avoided on purpose. The same logic and discussion existed on SW, but the purpose of the communities was different. So the same logic of "this generates tons of garbage posts" meant it was ruled out for ML and ruled in for SW.

        Also what drives me nuts is when people don't take the time to read the entire OP before responding. On SW more often than not I've had a lot of quick spastic replies to posts I've made and it's obvious they either didn't read the OP completely or did not understand what I was asking. They often feel like "points" posts.

        Given that it is a "points community" and that there are specifically the biggest rewards for "post once per thread and don't bother to return to it" and "post quickly as early posts get more points" that behaviour that you see is exactly what they have designed the system to produce.

          Speak for yourself - I'm trying for first place in the number of posts on ML category. 😛 Though considering Scott has more than 3 times as many posts as me.. probably won't happen in my lifetime.

          And for those that don't know... I'm totally joking!

          I tihnk @scottalanmiller has more than the rest of us in the top 10 combined, lol.

          Nope, the next 8 combines 😛

          The gap from 2nd to 3rd is nearly 2 to 1.

          Did you include the fact that I'm in first and eleventh places?

            no, that would go to the next nine then maybe - I was treating MLNews as it's own thing.

              I assumed as much.

                      @mlnews is a bot... or maybe @scottalanmiller is the bot... but then he posts pictures every now and again... but so does @mlnews.... Maybe one of them is related to Siri, and the other is related to Cortana?
