Guest AcrossCanyons Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I am bummed people are leaving. I really love this place. StephenG. Please post less. You have some really cool posts, but they are overshadowed by your worthless posts. As for banning members, Sup had it coming with his Anti-Watmm blog (come on, that's just stupid. I like the guy, but that is stupid) and I'm very cool with Craig Anderson and Boxing Day getting banned as well because they were annoying trolls. I miss many banned members though. Look on the bright side, if the whole community leaves then this will solely end up being an Electronic Music Forum I post marginally more than other members. 1531 posts Joined 28-January 12 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the "top 20 posters of today" section and you'll see I post only 1 - 4 more times than anyone else. I can't help it if I'm consistent and post every day. You know, since, like I said, I only post when I'm studying which is every day. As you can see, I only posted 6 more times than Npoess today, and he's one of the ones that is criticizing me. Thankfully his criticism is constructive and I really appreciate what he has to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenGOD Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 You just gotta filter yourself more. I am definitely guilty of going on binges of posting bullshit day after day (because I get bored and watmm is something to do), I'm now just making an effort to post more meaningful content if I post at all. I read one of your posts and I'm like, yea, Stephen is a cool dude, and then I read another and I'm like, goddammit Stephen stop posting. /stephen rant. On another note, the word "read" is annoying. I mean it in the present tense in the sentence above, but when I'm reading it looks like the past tense. Thanks pal, I really do appreciate it. I am definitely going to take your words into consideration and filter myself more. You have a good evening. Goddammit! STOP FUCKING POSTING. Ugh. No. Stop being so aggressive. I was thanking him for helping me. It's called building social capital. Now I will stop posting. lol that's not how it works around here. He's canadian he must thank everyone for everything. ah the king of generalizations has struck again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are free to do whatever you like - don't expect others to always see things your way, even if you think you've provided a logical argument. When you cast aspersions on the members posting here though, you don't stand much of a chance of fitting in. Just a little tip to help you build your social capital.

Paracommunication AKA parasocial interaction actually refers only to the individual users interpretation of a computer mediated interlocutor/communcator. You are a computer mediated character. :cerious: Here, I made some notes from you from my class. Key Term or Concept Description Reference Parasocial interaction The illusion of conversational give-and-take; adjusting one’s performance to an anticipated audience. p. 179 Paracommunication A simple social reaction that occurs when users thinks that a mediated character performs symbolic behaviour towards them. p. 181 Playful communication Interaction that arises from the perceived inability of a mediated character to monitor and to react to a user’s behaviour. pp. 182-183 Perceived distance The degree of conviction a user has that his or her behavioural expressions have an impact on the symbolic behaviour of another. pp. 184-185 Perceived authenticity A user’s judgment of the authenticity and “real” quality of a character’s attributes. p. 187 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job, a quote from 1988. Wikipedia must be the most up to date leading edge research available. You got it buddy. Great work. Maybe I should just send my homework to you, you know so much about the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
