"That's about all that can be said for plots, which anyway are just one thing after another, a what and a what and a what.
Now try how and why."
As a general rule, I read through all of the posts in the thread. If my opinion on the matter has been stated and stated thoroughly enough, I don't post. Owing to the intelligence and wit of the men and women that can occasionally be found in these forums, I only actually reply to about one thread for about every twenty that I read. Furthermore, while I'm not fully consistent about this, I also generally only post when I can think of a complete thought on the matter. Id est, more than a single unpunctuated sentence.
As an aside, certain members might wonder "how am I going to keep my post count up?" with such a low rate of posts. The answer is that you don't. It's been said numerous times before that bungie.net is not a place for members to "get all the points." It's a place to have discussion. Therefore, one should evaluate the totality of the ideas in a thread before thinking about posting, even if it's something they're passionate about. This not only will force one to greatly improve the quality of their posts, it will also help them follow the rule better.
With all of that said, sometimes what I think about the matter hasn't been posted, or it has been posted but there is still clarification needed, so I write a couple paragraphs clarifying and expositing. In short, I post if I think I can add to a thread.
