Default Send them the bugs

Chatting and creating noise do not count towards an MVP nomination. The
number of your posts alone will never qualify you as an MVP (and you are
years away from accumulating enough *helpful* posts). The quality of
your posts has more weighting than how many but how many shows
consistent participation (and not all in short spurts but over time).
To be honest, the quality (content) of the majority of your posts, so
far, won't be considered towards a nomination. Spewing out tons of
blathering posts is not how you obtain the MVP award.

Read the MVP rules to obtain nomination. You have been on the wrong
path. Note that trying to nominate yourself will be reviewed by other
existing MVPs. If it is clear that you in now way deserve the award,
you be discarded in future self nominations or nominations others. They
remember.

If you want an example of someone trying to get the MVP award who got
blacklisted by his activities, lying that he's an MVP, the content of
his posts (what are so often invalid or misleading as to appear
deliberately that way), who pirates software to put on his web site that
he claims is his, and attempts to garner the award by trying to create a
domain registration with "MVP" in it (that got blocked and will remain
so) to further lie to others, look up "PC Butts" who also nymshifts
(pcbutts, pcbutts1, chris butts, [The] Real Truth, etc).

Note that if you do get the MVP award, it can be withdrawn. If you're
more bad than good, you lose the badge. You are expected to be helpful,
honest, and professional. That also means you must be more reserved in
the content of your posts. You are expected to be a professional. I
forget now how many thousands of posts that I had when I got asked if I
wanted to get nominated but politely refused since that would cramp my
style. I'd rather be me than present a persona of a pro-Microsoft rep
that should throttle his behavior in Usenet. After all, everyone knows
you are NOT an employee of Microsoft with the MVP award and, in my view,
is a pretty much an over-rated award.

No one must be an MVP to report bugs to Microsoft; however, they expect
better structure and more coherent content. If English is not your
native language, you should note that in your MVP profile, plus you
should post in your native language (and optionally include an English
translation). You also have to be over 18 to get the award. You have
to establish a long history of helping others in Usenet (and, I believe,
in their web-based forums but not necessarily both). Once you get the
award, you have to remain professional. Nymshifting is likely to get
you labelled as a troll. You might want to have alter egos: one for a
personal persona that you can use to help or abuse and then an MVP
persona to gain the award and look professional is not acceptable.
Eventually a nymshifter or someone using sock puppets gets exposed after
which their MVP award is ignored and they're considered a liar.

You might also consider posting with something a lot more identifiable
than a single first name. Pick a name that is unique to you, something
that others will recognize as you instead of every other Joel on the
planet. By the way, are you really claiming you are USA News, the real
registrant of the news.net domain you specify in the domain (right
token) portion of your e-mail address in your From header, so you have
permission to use that domain when posting here? You have an e-mail
account at USA News?
