#OFFTOPIC For Dummies #3 - "Shitposts"
[b]"Shitposts"[/b]
A "shitpost" is a comment or thread(usually the latter) that typically contains no conversational value at all. The purpose of its creation varies from one member to another, and are usually made to troll or to start a meme. "Shitposts" can often take the form of Copy Pastas, blank posts, YouTube links, or nonsensical threads such as "I'm New" or "Petition to [thing that nobody wants to do]" threads.
"Shitposting" is fairly easy and don't require much thought into the content. The typical creation process usually involve coming up with a title that attracts users(also known as clickbaiting) followed by random content in the text body. More elaborate "shitposts," however, require a bit more creativity. These types of posts usually evolve into memes.
An example of a "shitpost" is this thread made by a fellow ARDENT member: https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/1475463/219360221/0/0
"Shitposts" can occasionally be humorous but can also incite anger or stir drama depending on the context or interpretation by others.

1 ReplyEdited by Commander Tempu: 12/18/2016 8:58:11 AMI dunno one moment i shit post another it comes out brilliant. Humm must have a mad scientist gene someplace. Oh i tend to get banned due to arguing with some numskull. They cannot concede defeat with grace. If the NInja's actually see i mess around with them. Some think i am too crass but nothing like a face full of ice water to get people's attention. I write stories when i can if i am not banned. Ahh i miss the old b.net days when i could hang out in another forum. Also if you see any brain dead internet zombies send them my way. * Cocks my shovel like a shotgun.* As for shit posting well if you are an artist you can pull off some amazing things. Kids these days are too dumb to call what they do "trolling." Mostly i shit post to get that knee jerk reaction from the tolls then troll the trolls. Most entertaining.

1 ReplyGuessing next is trolling eh? "Know the difference" maybe? [spoiler]Trolling = intentionally posting an "opinion" (whether you actually think that or not) that most people disagree with so that they respond to you and get you a lot of replies. This is known as "feeding the troll". Never do this. Meanwhile a shitpost is much more easily recognisable as a joke, unlike trolls who (sadly) get taken more seriously.[/spoiler] [spoiler]did my research. Do I get a cookie?[/spoiler]

1 ReplyThis post doesn't do justice to shit posts.

1 ReplyShitposting is a lot like trolling. You can accomplish it without putting too much thought or effort into it. And you'll get a few people's attention and all that. But people who are really good at it make this place entertaining. Unfortunately, I've seen very little quality shitposting around here in ages.
