What are quality posts and how do they work?
GigaRocket is a post to host business. Members have to make 10 QUALITY posts for a shared hosting account. Quality posts are posts that are more than one-liner posts and that have some meaningful discussion in them that make a contribution to the topic of the discussion. Please note that inquiry type question threads and threads in the support forums don't count as quality posts. Nor do posts in the off-topic sections of the forum. The latter posts are subtracted from the total of posts for hosting when hosting applications are considered. We recommend that you read our Guidelines for Quality Posts before you start to post.
Warning: Too many one-liner posts made in a quick succession of one another can be considered as spam and lead to a ban and/or removal of the forum account.
