In online
forums power-posting is the term used to
describe a
user who
posts a
large number of empty or useless messages in order to increase their number of
posts. On some forums special privileges may be given to users who contribute a
specific number of posts. When power posting users will post meaningless replies
such as "
LOL" or "I agree/disagree." These posts may
increase the users post count but they do not contribute anything meaningful to
the forum discussion itself.
