5 Most Common Forum types....which one are you?

[Ammi]

....Well...as it says in the title
...only comment on yourself...not other members

The Salesman
The salesman is motivated to be everyone’s friend. They typically will not try to anger anyone and will reply with neutral comments to show contribution and keep peace with everyone. The key is to curtail and control whatever the salesman is trying to sell and keep to a minimum. They are assets to the forum as they help keep the peace and keep new posts rolling in.
Pros: motivated to post, motivated to make friends and helps keep the peace, motivated to keep the perception of a friendly trusted person.
Cons: will eventually try to sell something in the forum, may stop contributing and never come back if sales are not generated.
The Intellect
The intellects are a rare find and they usually find you. They are motivated by correcting and providing in-depth information about a certain subject. It is useless to argue with an intellect as they usually have years of experience and can point to the exact sentence in a book to prove they are right. Intellects are tremendous asset to a forum in that they can keep topics from straying and provide valuable insight.
Pros: highly knowledgeable, motivated to provide correct information and usually best candidates to promote to forum moderator.
Cons: can be stubborn, trigger debates and are not likely to descend from the heavens to admit they were wrong.
The Clueless
The clueless typically are new to the forum subject and unlike those who ask progressive questions and learn, clueless members just cannot seem to get it. Clueless members will often ask the same question several times or just keep asking for clarification after several examples have been provided. This of course leads to members replying angrily and becoming frustrated. The best way to deal with the clueless is by providing FAQ sections and sticky post with “how to” instructions.
Pros: asks all the simple questions and posts frequently.
Cons: can prove difficult if indeed they never get it, can convert a friendly forum into an angry lynch mob with pitchforks and torches.
The Angry And Frustrated

Angry and frustrated members usually find the forum as an escape from their daily routines. It’s important to understand that they are already angry and frustrated by the time they show up at the forum.Just about any little thing can trigger an angry outburst from this type of member. Usually a quick private message can calm this member down and get them to become solid contributors over time.
Pros: usually knowledgeable about the forum topic, can be motivated to be a solid contributor and usually make the best watchdogs against forum poachers or rule breakers.
Cons: will start a fight, can quickly spread fear of posting in your forum
The Lurker

The lurker usually joined the forum because it is useful and provides good information. They are called lurkers because they never post and always show up as daily visitors in your forum statistics. Never contributing but always visiting and viewing new forum posts. Not to worry though when the time is right they typically introduce themselves and turn out to be solid contributors.
Pros: do not cause conflict, return visitor, eventually become solid contributors.
Cons: take a long time to make the first post, can be difficult to challenge or motivate them to become contributors

....or other?

[King Gizzard]

Don't really recognise myself with any of them. I would say I'm more of a badger.

...badger?..you mean you're a nag...or a stalker?

[King Gizzard]

Lol I don't know

Probably salesman applies most to me out of all of them there I dunno, think there are alot of salesmen on this forum..don't get why they've called it the salesman though :suspect:

What do you see yourself as Ammi?

[Ammi]

...probably a lurker, unfortunately.....although I'm quite encouraged that one day I'm going to contribute..

[Shaun]

i don't see "ghetto fabulous bitch" on this list. -leaves-

[Ammi]

i don't see "ghetto fabulous bitch" on this list. -leaves-

..it is there Shaun...otherwise known as 'other'
...hmm...not got the same ring to it

[Benjamin]

I reckon I fall into both The Intellect and The Salesman.

[King Gizzard]

Was going to say, ukturtle has been trying to sell me refurbished microwaves via private message for 3 years now

[Ammi]

Was going to say, ukturtle has been trying to sell me refurbished microwaves via private message for 3 years now

...don't buy one....mine is sh*t

[Benjamin]

It's for your microwave burgers, they work wonders. And only £79.99 (not incl. P&P) :thumbs:

...don't buy one....mine is sh*t

Only because you can't remember how to use it. :idc:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i don't see "ghetto fabulous bitch" on this list. -leaves-

.

[CharlieO]

I would say mix of angry and intellect.

[Niall]

I reckon I'm a salesmen with a teensy bit of intellect thrown in. :3

[Benjamin]

Anyone else, when they read The Clueless description, instantly think of one TiBB member? :laugh:

[Kizzy]

Right now im very angry and frustrated!

[ILoveTRW]

im definitely "The Angry And Frustrated" lol

[Doogle]

I don't think I'm any. I want to make friends but I wasn't nice to everyone. If they annoy me I argue with them so I don't go out of my way to be civil or nice. I'm no intellect either. Nor am I clueless, a lurker or angry.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Dunno what I am or how I'm perceived can someone answer for me??

[Benjamin]

It's probably best I don't answer that for you. :idc:

[Doogle]

Deluded.

Got me down to an absolute T !! :D

remember folks: I'm a tremendous asset to this forum!!! PMSL :laugh3:

*remind me to have a word with you Ammi*



UKT.... there are about 3 or 4 that I thought of right away:shocked:

[Pyramid*]

Right now im very angry and frustrated!

:joker: I think I may have developed psychic powers...... lol.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Deluded.

Thank you Doogle :xyxwave:

[Maia]

I suppose I must be The Salesman

[ILoveTRW]

IMO there are only 2 type of people on this forum
The Salesman: 80% of the forum, if you go to the extent of adding someone off this forum to your facebook then this is you.
The Angry And Frustrated: 20% who just don't give a **** and will be banned and banned until they give up

The Intellect: I don't think we have any particularly intelligent people on the forum. Obviously we have the odd person who trys to come across as intelligent, but to me they'd be classed as "The Angry And Frustrated" who are just trying to escape from their lives where the are probably very insecure about their intellect
The Clueless: I think you learn pretty fast on this forum
The Lurker: Obviously we don't ever see them if they do exist.

[Me. I Am Salman]

It's probably best I don't answer that for you. :idc:

You think I'm an intellect :hugesmile:

[lostalex]

[Marc]

So many salemen on here. I guess that's the one that best applies to me but I'd much prefer 'Ginger annoying tw.at' it's not on there though :(

[Pyramid*]

Ammi...... where's the option for "Morphing......."



Pyrammid. :D

[Patrick]

I'd say Angry and Frustrated although I'm not like that as much anymore, but out of those - definitely that.

[CharlieO]

Who did you think of UKT :suspect:

And Salman I deffo think you is da intalect init.

[Black Dagger]

I'm the Salesman definitely, unless I'm really pissed off and take an instant disliking to somebody on the forum, I'l try to befriend everybody.

[Marc]

I reckon I fall into both The Intellect and The Salesman.

Yes. Being at University doesn't make you special. It means you happened to pass the very low rate entry levels compared to years gone by.

People who cannot even use the English language either in spoken form or written form correctly (as your posts show) get into Uni these days. People who cannot work out basic arithmetic or basic maths without the aid of a calculator.

There are quite a few Clueless posters on this forum. Especially within the last 12 months.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Pyra :worship:

You both share the same traits e.g. love trying to outsmart people and make them feel crap about themselves etc. but fail terribly.

[Doogle]

Who are you to say other people fail terribly?

What do you add except constant baiting & trolling?

[Pyramid*]

What bollox.

You do a wonderful job of outsmarting yourself, no one needs to try to help you along.

Sorry if I've come across that way to you Doogle

[Pyramid*]

I referred to you as a git. In fact, IIRC, you were trolling and I made the comment, "Ban the git".

Sorry if I've come across that way to you Doogle

You come across that way to me too I'm afraid.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Okay fine I'm sorry if I came across like that and I'm sorry for saying all the **** to you :thumbs:

[Pyramid*]

So is it fair to say then that you consider yourself to fall under the category of ''Clueless' - seeing as you have no idea why you might come across the way you do to some?

[Brother Leon]

Dont apologise Salman
:nono:
Just destroy everyone like I did when I first joined:idc:

Maybe he should learn not to insult people in the first place then there would be no need for apologising ...... just a thought. :idc:

[Pyramid*]

Whatever

That will be under the category of 'OTHER' then.

Yeah, I'd agree.
