THE FINE ART OF SPAMMING
Although I reached the figure of 14K posts more than 2 months ago, my progress since then to the 15K mark has been extremely sluggish. I am now targeting 0.1K or 100 posts per day and exploring ways and means to do so without violating the SPAMMING GUIDELINES. And some of the measures which have come to my mind are
> To individually acknowledge each and every opinion received for my posts with a THANK YOU msg on the lines of " Thank you SO-AND-SO for your
...
more...
GREAT/ AGREE/ USEFUL/THANKS. "
> To post periodic reminders to my posts of the sort " So many views and yet only so FEW GREATS ? "
> Since multiple pics/videos are nowadays being posted in large numbers, I may offer my expert comments on each one of them, like say,
Too much light/too little light, Too far away/too close, too much speed/too little speed and what not. It does not matter that ALL I KNOW OF PHOTOGRAPHY IS ITS SPELLING and nothing beyond that.
> To start a debate on which train in IR is king/queen/mantri/praja etc. and watch a mad scramble for the top honours.
> To start a " private " conversation in the open forum with another member about him or better still, a third member, enquiring about his personal details, what he had for lunch/dinner, how much it cost etc.
> To reply to as many posts as possible with general inane remarks like "I also think so " " I have been saying this for so many months " What does the new RM feel about LHB rakes for the Lagola Passenger " and on top of it asking the question to say BG and not the Minister himself. :)
I am sure others can add to the number of methods of spamming :)

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
