Martigan80's Journal: This system

One thing I have noticed is that if one is not in the ?in? crowd your posts don?t mean too much. Well that is not really true you just have to know what to post. There are different types of posts that get modded up.
1. The intellectual post, a kind that would take a typical /. geek at least three hours of searching to disprove.
2. A funny post that can crack a joke about a post made recently, or so geek-dome idiom.
3. Link posts. These are the most rewarding. You can just goto www.google.com type in the subject matter and post a few select links as your message body. This is considered the ?informative? post. Funny enough the first person to post these usually will climb to a 5 very fast. It?s funny because most geeks here know how to use google, they just don?t want to do the extra typing.

I think I?ll get a spell checker for christmas!
