Top Ten Signs You're a Stat Padder

Even if I think it's a good list, I'm just not the kind of person to go around begging "Please check my___list!"

This is not a good thing to do. You don't wanna shove your content down others throats

I've expirienced this once, I had no idea who the music artist was, that the list revolved around

Yeah. I do this sometimes. I mostly share my list on BAND though.

I made a few early on, but it was about four, I think

Like Sausagelover's list of Movies that don't deserve to be on the list of Worst movies of all time. It's already been made, but only approved because it was titled differently. Trying to attempt this deliberately will have you be considered as a stat padder

Definitely.

I don't

No one really cares about say, if someone were to make a list of "Top ten Cities in Wisconsin, North Dakota, and Montana that have a population of over 200,000 and have more than 3 libraries". You get the whole idea. If your lists are like that, You clearly have ran out.

Some of my lists are a little specific, I suppose,but not overly specific

Nobody cares about your list of top 10 male celebrities who think Cookie Dough ice cream is overrated it’s overly specific

Yes most definitely.

This is a grey area here. Some people say "oh, the best users don't care about popularity" However, the people not involved in the community at all, I say is Boring

Yes. Caring for the community means you are supporting other users list and post and just being a good friend.

It may seem like it 'cause I'm not quite outgoing, but I actually care about the community a LOT.

Well, I am heavily involved in the community, yet I am a heavy list maker

Yeah I try to make most of my post HQ.

Self Explanatory

Obviously

Still, you can make low-tier HQ posts for stat padding

Yeah. If you make consistent lists and they are high quality, one day you will get a featured lost. I've had about 8-10 featured list.

Especially if you've been on here for two or three years. Luckily for me, I already got a featured list in less than a year.

I really want to get a list featured man

I've never had any featured list.

I made the interesting countries that begin on a certain letter series but it wasn't really much for stat-padding though, I only made them because I love comparing countries

I just despise those wastes of lists.

Ugh I can’t believe I used to do these

Dunno. It's probably more so myself than whoever doesn't feel like messaging me.

Then I get time to work on my post series!

I get messages almost everyday

This may seem cruel, but Stat padders that don't care less about the community, likely won't give Fellow top tenners the motivation to message.

Userscore: 212
Followers (when I typed this up, anyway): 45. That's actually not the first thing I check when I get on TheTopTens, believe it or not. Although my followers are wonderful people (one's a troll, but you get where I'm coming from,) so are my parents, and my parents both need me for different reasons
Mom: Hide behind 'cause there's a tiny lizard
Dad: Help installing windows.

I can see if you have a little more than the amount of followers you have, but when it is two or three times, it's not so interesting

I have more than that. I have six times more member score. It's up at 1400, while I only have around 260 followers

Actually this isn't bad. Having a big user score means you are high quality and you are consistent. It is hard to get followers.

Define "lots." If fifty-something is considered lots, I agree. If it's hundreds, I'm halfway to one hundred, so...no

Obviously

only 85

I most certainly do not. I didn't even know what "stat-padding" is until I read the description of this list.

Oh, the irony!

Then I Guess We Half To Say You Are

Newsflash: It's hard to accuse someone of something when you don't know what it means

I do not
