I don't think KF even HAS the ability to throttle posts like on Twitter.

Honestly it's a pretty meh post.
A lance to my heart, you were obviously right and it was dumb of me to make a whining post but GOSHDARN bossman meh post is fucking raw

when it get late and the beers get cracked the quality goes down what can I say
 
Or what you do is when you're effortposting god that word sounds so dumb just right click on the "x minutes ago" link on the previous post and open it in a new tab, and if that page has nearly 20 posts on it then wait a little longer and check again before hitting submit.

i'm unfamiliar with canadian politics. is this the woman people were saying was likely to succeed trudeau?
She's basically Canada's Nancy Pelosi. She was running to be the next PM but everone hates her.

you are a sweetie pie but its hard to help that witch is retarted

I could easily open a second tab and check where the thread is at and wait for a new page

I dont do this, I spend the better part of my hour on a post and hit send beacuse I dont wanna waste a second between now and my based ass information reaching a fellow kiwi

so what ive had a little to drink, get off me, THEY HANDED ME THE MIC!
Maybe Null was right about autists and stickers...

Just post what you think is informative or funny. If it gets no traction then it is no big deal, just lurk until the topic changes to something you know more about.
 
I swear null has some beef with me, thats my 3rd effort post today to get literal bottom shelf placment

I dont think my content is THAT BAD
the placement of an effortpost has zero relation to whether its picked for highlighting
in fact, with regards to fake Internet points, which you shouldn't care about anyway or you're a terminally online redditor, right at the bottom of the page is as good as right at the top for stickers because people naturally read it while clicking the 'next page' button
there's not some gradient where top = better and the lower the worse, people who read all the posts read all them anyway and people who skim just look for pictures and links and highlighted posts

I feel like I worried alot of people about my mental acuity by bitching about that. I understand its not controlled by mr moon im just bitching. Ill shut the hell up about it, was just a dumb autistic sperg on my end
 
The retirement records mine is kino as fuck and they should keep it simply because it's rad.
They need to be forced to install a turbo cargo lift in it or something to speed up the work, once it's all over. Doing it now would only slow things down. Well, unless it's easy enough to dig another mineshaft into it.
 
The fact that just a handful of random judges can effectively govern the whole country instead of the president makes absolutely no sense.
Issues of a federal nature involving the legislature/executive should have a panel of judges from each circuit come to a supermajority decision on whether or not an action can be stopped. Singular judges have literally less representation of the process than any other singular individual in the US, and I would argue is unconstitutionally outside of the bounds of judicial powers.

Not quite the part people took umbrage with. More that you thought that where on the page it was had any relation to anything, with the exception of maybe 3% less stickers right in the middle.

Honestly, I think you should moderate a little with the alcohol, just given this is now the second time I've told you that. You started posting screenshots of columns in a spreadsheet, then went "you should see the rest of this shit, it just gets worse", and people predictably replied "yeah, this is kiwifarms, please source the shit you're posting." And then you post a line where $4 trillion of pension funds is invested; if you think about it for a second, maybe you won't be surprised that rather than having all that money parked in a checking account losing ground to inflation, pension funds tend to be held in investments which will provide a return.

And I doubt the "bottom of the page effect" is strong enough that you need to respond to all of your own posts, that's worse than double posting. I really hope with the amount of context you provided, it didn't actually take you an hour to make those screenshot posts.
effortposting
I prefer spergfagging.

Yes, during the "Dark Chapter" as Pierre deemed Trudeau's time as PM he shuffled his cabinets many, many times and for a long time there was no heir apparent or standouts and a couple schisms happened that had people like his Minister of Justice whistleblow and nope-the-fuck-out out of the party. In the last number of cabinets she emerged as one of the sole people who survived the shuffles having her be the presumptive next leader. About a month before he resigned, on the day she, the Minister of Finance, was set to deliver the new budget they got into a massive argument over two specific issues (Trudeau supporting the decision to write cheques to all canadians and her support of a monthslong foregoing of federal sales tax on a variety of goods and industries, both of which were ostensibly a sure thing and sure to do more damage than help) and a half hour before the press meeting over the budget, she was out. He said she resigned, she says he fired her. It's a moot point... as I said she "can't even operate under her own self interest", she just had to shut the fuck up, deliver his shit sandwich for him to die on, and assume control of the party. She couldn't even do that.

Xenforo has an option to fuck with users:

Discouragement​

At times, banning a person may not be entirely effective. With the design of browsers, it's easy for a problematic user to register a new account.

The principle​

Discouraging aims to make using the site slow and painful for a problematic user, such that they eventually give up and leave. According to the system configuration, each time a user subject to discouragement attempts to load a page, there is a chance that it will fail to load, a change that it will result in a blank page, a change that it will take a very long time to complete etc.

Discouraged users are not made aware that they are subject to this special treatment.

You may fine-tune the diabolical behavior of the discouragement system using the options at Setup > Options > User discouragement and discipline.

Discouraging specific users​

A user can be discouraged by editing the user in the control panel and enabling the Discouraged option. The behavior of the discouragement system can be controlled by options in the User discouragement and discipline group.

Discouraging by IP address​

Alternatively, specific IP ranges can be discouraged. This helps ensure that the behavior is maintained even when the targeted user is not logged in.

In general, if you're aiming to maximize the reach of a post by posting at certain times, aiming for the post to be a certain position on a thread, or giving a shit about stickers, reddit is over there ---->

Also I am still getting reacts from posts MONTHS or even YEARS ago. KF is different from most social media where you only have a few hour window to get your like dopamine fix before it gets buried by algorithms, good KF posts are good forever. I am genuinely suprised how far back people go when catching up in threads.

Also the best react grinding strat to have your post be on the first page of a community post.
