It's a continuum, a gradient scale, with sliding goal posts, mostly.
Welcome to life as ordained by the mundane.

yeah, i still can't figure out why my posts apparently don't qualify as "low effort" "copy pasta" but heck, they mostly leave me alone.

i haven't even seen @cheetah around in a while.

Cheetah got shut down over server costs.
I'd suspect you are now accepted as old skool and are under the radar compared to the newbs.
Not all bad.

Do you have any current, post the absence of the one I don't name, examples?

I'd suspect you are now accepted as old skool and are under the radar compared to the newbs.

I'm going to guess this has more to do with my replies and less to do with my posts.

You are not actively abusing the system, you show up make coherent comments and posts, what's not to like?

well, i did manage to rake in 40 HIVE for reposting a comment from hivewatchers and adding three sentences that i've posted at least twenty times before.

does that count as "farming" ?

It's not a crime, if you don't get caught.
I'd think the line would be not adding anything, otherwise its commentary on the quote, imo.

are you excluding regenerette and lucylin ?

Yes, lucy was personal against the rants and continuous denigration while taking out top 10% rewards.
Regenerate was farming multiple accounts.

Got more?

What the heck is "farming" ?

Farming is making posts, usually comments, and either selfvoting or circle jerking just straight up.
Making a one character comment and self voting it is easily defined as abuse.
Doing it 10 times a day will get you flagged, pretty certainly.

Milking is more what some others do, it's not as bad.
We tend to accept milking because those people also show up every day, make coherent posts, and don't engage in other types of abuse.
