Please don't try to make the top of this list. Every time someone makes a post like this one, they always want to get higher on the list, which means they start spamming really low effort posts. If you really want to make it onto a leaderboard, try the Most Reactions, since that values higher quality and more thought out posts. You're not the first to celebrate this, and you certainly won't be the last, but try to make higher quality posts that garner more positive attention rather than many spam posts that have little purpose. There are many members who make very valuable contributions to the forums and are hardly on the Mosts Posts leaderboard. So far I haven't noticed this as a big issue with you spamming, so as long as you don't start going for more posts just to climb higher, I don't see a major issue with your current rate, but as with everyone on the forums, you can always make your posts higher quality with a tiny bit more effort.

One thing you can do to reduce clutter is to respond in a single message instead of multiple messages minutes apart. You can respond to multiple messages in a single response, so you don't need an individual post for every single thing you want to say in a short period of time. This is the single most important thing for new members to learn in order to reduce their amount of posts/clutter, since almost every new members goes through a faze of making a dozen posts within a few minutes that could've been in a single post. It is also visually nicer to be able to find everything in one message rather than a handful of single sentence messages. This isn't like discord or other short form messaging apps, you're allowed, and encouraged!, to type up a longer more thought out response instead of single sentence messages.

Also, another thing you can do is slow down on making threads. You've been here for not even 4 full days, and you have created 13 threads, 3 of which were duplicate Member Introductions, and 2 off topic, which are fine in moderation. A good number of those threads either could've been a profile post, like this thread, or posted in another already existing thread that has a good chance of already answering the question you have. It is much better to take it slow, and really think about what you're posting. Think about if there is already a thread for it, you can search for that!, or if it would be more suited as a profile post. I'm not trying to control your posts, but when new members make a dozen threads in less than a week, with 3 duplicate threads, the home page becomes very cluttered with low effort spam. I've been through this process with many new members, some take the advice and have become better members that I've come to respect, and others take it as hate and quit. I would love to see as many new members stay and become involved in the community, but I also want them to be respectful members while they do so. So please, think about what you're posting before you do so, and consider if a thread already exists, or if a profile post/off topic would be a better place so as to not spam the home page.
 
Thus could have been a profile post.
@AJT17 has been patient with me with this (like,EXTREMELY PATIENT) because I used to have over a hundred posts a few months back. I thank him for that...
But going for quality instead of quantity is better.

When I posted the of topic threads I didn't know there was a list, but I'll try to slow down.
