Members signing up, but not posting!
Hey guys do you get members that just sign up and do not post? I have been getting a lot of people like this and I wonder why they do this.
Are their any tips you have that will help them post,etc... Also is there anyway I could ask them why they aren't posting for what reason - there feedback? Thanks |

the usual problem is that they register for future use, or for leeching... leeching readings because they are interested by the content but not to participate...
does your forum is intended to provide documentation or support?... is your community is built toward interaction, or just questions/answers ?! these are some details you have to evaluate to see why people are not posting... |

They might be BOTs registering.

Oh, and think of these for a start: I have noticed that service boards such as download areas or support boards have huge amounts of members and low posting rates. This seems perfectly normal. |

There are 2 mods I have used to help this. One starts a welcome thread on their behalf to get them to say something about themself. Another sends an email out periodically if they have not posted in 'x' amount of days.

I am a new member, signed up today and for the most part I am learning the ins and outs of the VBulletin system so if you see me lurking around reading posts, as I am apt to do, in my case I am looking for answers or a possible solution first before posting for help.
BTW, I run a sports message board and members to the same thing there, they sign up and not post. Some of my fellow owners kinda get upset about that but I really don't have the time to worry about it, if they want to say something they will, otherwise I don't have a problem with them reading, though we did lock down the arcade to a minimum amount of posts needed. |

this site is not intended to check who is doing what... you are free to just leech information - this is a documentation place too... so you are welcome even if you keep silent and do not post anywhere... if you see the number of active members compared to the registered ones, you will see you are not alone to lurk on the site.

I don't think that you can force anyone to post. If they feel like posting, they will.
You need to start interesting or controversial topics to entice them to participate. |
