What's an acceptable shitpost ratio for a good poster?

[Slave of the Beast]

How high can the percentage of shitposts: completely off-topic, retarded drivel, pointless flaming, low quality trolling etc... be before someone stops being a good poster? Shitposting that is confined to HB or BM doesn't count. And should that ratio be any different for a member of staff?

For me once the shitpost ratio, outside of BM & HB, exceeds ~20% (Everyone here's human. Mostly.) then my opinion of them starts to deteriorate. For staff... ideally they shouldn't do it at all, but I'd probably let it slide if it stayed in the low single figures.

No doubt someone'll tell me I should know because I'm currently at 95.8%.

[aldra]

depends, really. I can handle sploo when he's not retarded-falling-on-the-keyboard-fucked-up because he's sincerely fucked up, ala the delirient speedball thread... bling's posts are pretty painful though. and thank fuck the brandon pretenders are gone.

I would draw the line at about 10%, and even that 10% should be at least adding/giving something to the thread. If I see even a few posts coming from a particular member which are worthless and don't even provide a chuckle or a double-take, I start to classify that "member" as useless and damaging to community spirit, even if they do have a few great posts on the board.

TL/DR

FUCK U

BURRRRRNNNNNN

Only proven mouthbreathers make those types of posts, even if they're just a few.

It's difficult to standardize the "good poster scale".  Each individual has to be considered as such.

No, it's not.

What about posters like fuckhead? If anyone here even knows of her...

Her "shitposting" was made up for in personality and something akin to style.

I can spot a shit poster 10 miles away. You should be able to as well.

Let's just say... you have the potential not to be a shitposter. It's just that right now you're attention starved. That may change as time progresses. Just look at Snoopy!! Well.. terrible analogy, I admit, but you get my drift, I'm sure.

[dragqueen slayer]

Snoopy was an alright piece of bubble yum and I believe he genuinely tries to raise his vertically challenged daughters and enjoys being domesticated which is admirable I guess even tho hes just doin what hes sposdta

I liked bothering him and discussing things

[splooge gook]

I never laughed at anything snoopy said ever

except one time snoopy said to ph0x "you have to be a real degenerate piece of shit to be fat and a heroin addict at the same time", which was somewhat amusing

It's difficult to standardize the "good poster scale".  Each individual has to be considered as such.

I think people can at the very least be broadly categorized. The poster's efforts should of course be considered as a whole; 20% shitpost/80% high quality post is probably better than 10% shitpost/90% mediocre post, but it's rare to come across a poster who produces high quality content intermixed with garbage. Usually it's the other way around, like Snoopy, whom I believe should not have been made a Zoklet mod for that reason (amongst others).

I believe the shitpost % is a reasonably sound overall indicator.

I NEED MY PERCENTILES NOW

[dragqueen slayer]

I cant recall anything either but as a whole he was more tolerable than most

Did I actually say "having a riff 14 beats long has nothing to do with time signature?" I clearly meant notes and thats a hizarre thing to quote, like darkhunter/captain falcon butthurt bizarre.

I know nothing of trig-unstapled dumbfuck
