It's been observed that some have taken topics that they would post in their journals section and then took the exact, unaltered posts and scattered them across the forums. This does little other than take space and doesn't add real value to the forums as a whole.
It is highly recommended to post about your personal experiences in your Journal (if you've achieved member access there) and post general information about products, blends, etc., in the appropriate areas of the forums.
It is discouraged to merely copy and paste exact, verbatim posts across multiple threads. If you're posting about a similar topic, create a fresh post and don't use one post in multiple areas. It diminishes the value of your contributions.
