What counts as powerleveling?

[BoingoTango]

Giving any shits about something as meaninglessly autistic as forum ratings should count.

Agree'd

Give her the D has always been a faggot though. So it makes sense.

Anything done in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber is absolutely powerleveling and I am thinking that I want to count any time spent on the Lookout as powerleveling as well.

Also if you are going to ask a weaker user to shoot you in the chest in hopes that a low level healer will revive you and increase your strength, you're poweleveling and that wasn't going to work anyway.

Stop giving away all my secrets, Kakarot!!!

Ok what the fuck is going on? There is an actual page 2 with no posts...

Honestly, if you're worried about KiwiFarms ratings, I wouldn't post anything about yourself at all.

Traditionally it's admitting to things which are embarrassing to you and/or no one gives a shit about. Saying you personally met a lolcow isn't powerleveling. Neither is bringing up any relevant professional experience. Revealing your true name or identifying information isn't powerleveling, just unwise. However if you admit you shit yourself or write MLP fan fiction, that's powerleveling.

The term is actually older than the Farms.

revealing too much about yourself

This is how you Powerlevel:

Spoiler

In all seriousness, Powerleveling happens when you reveal personal information about yourself that can be used to track you. For example, saying you're an American won't get you in much trouble; there's over 300 million of them. Saying "Oh I used to live in that town for a few years" is powerleveling, as it significantly narrows down the number of people that need to be checked.
Here's Exhibit A on how to powerlevel. Watch it, and then never make a video or post anything like it ever if you don't want to powerlevel.

Spoiler: Power level

IMO people who live like in the above video should be dragged out into the street and shot...

I'm assuming you made this thread because you're butthurt that people rated you TMI/power level for this post:

I'm the same age as this chick and she really does look a lot older than that. I'm almost 24 and I look like a fucking 17 or 18 year old.

EDIT: How the fuck is that powerleveling? Powerleveling is shit that equals to obvious doxing.

It's because the posts above it said pretty much the same thing, but didn't talk about their age or how young they look. Its unnecessary and comes across as "look at how much better i am then a lolcow!" No1curr that you think you look underage.

Caring about ratings is gay.

Talking in details about your gross fetishes no one is interested in

A good way to work it out is consider everyone here is to ruin your life given the chance. Dont give them the chance. You shouldn't need a definition when it comes to your online footprint.

P O W E R L E V E L , when you show off your personal information off online for this forum, which can be used against, either you are an attention seeker, or it relates to the post in the discussion.

As a fellow human, dont powerlevel like this.
As a member of the farms, do tell.

 

[Niggernerd]

Don't worry about that goyim. Btw where you from?

i keep getting caught between not wanting to read more and wanting to read more so i can archive shit for a possible halal

There’s two categories of things you shouldn’t share: things that could be used to identify you, and things you don’t want the rest of us to make fun of.

TBH, OP should know that revealing autistic details about yourself can be fun if you want and expect the people here to give you TMI and Dumb ratings. Worked for me.

But don't get too ridiculously specific revealing with details about your life. That stuff belongs in DeviantArt descriptions, not here.

Another aspect I've heard about powerleveling is that it can also draw discussion away from a thread topic and put the focus on the poster.

PowerLevel: (Cow) was put on a psych hold? I've been committed multiple times and that wasn't fun one bit.

Non-Powerlevel: (Cow) was put on a psych hold? That's not going to be fun, but their creepy conduct brought it on themselves.

People really don't care about a fellow 'Farmer's private life, so its best to avoid sharing those details. As one of the "Hide your powerlevel" directives once stated (possibly paraphrased): Everyone's life story sucks and we don't care anyways.

It's when a higher level character helps you to clear content of much higher level, giving you tons of experience and levelling you up really fast.

Kiwi farms strongly believes that it's important everyone learn to farm their own xp, so the practice is frowned upon. It comes from the site's roots as an EverQuest Fan site.
