Op you are right. There was a time I made 3 posts in interval of a minute. The next comment I could get is that I am shift posting. Mind you, it took me days to compose those topics and saved them because I wanted to post them at once, when I got this comment, I was really discouraged because I also earned one merit for one of the post that I was attacked It was absolutely discouraging. It always as if I was spamming whereas I took time to come up with those topics. Like as it stands now I have a topic I have composed but still waiting to add more value before I post, now when I post I then got attacked it will really demorale me.
