(acr. POTP)
When you are looking for the answer to a question, and in posting the question you discover how to find the answer only seconds later after posting. Sometimes this is because you find better search terms for the question, or because the answer is in the question itself.
In gaming circles, this phenomenon is known as 'power of the post' because sometimes to answer a question you simply need to formulate the problem clearly instead of attacking it with brute force.

Synonymous with spam, it is the posting of multiple messages in a short succession. It is usually done to gain certain privileges that require a certain amount of posts to gain, or to simply boost one's post count to make them seem like they're a more experienced user (although this is usually not the case with people who power post)
Person 1: *new thread* "OMG hi guys!!!"
Person 1: *repeats the above about 500 times*
Person 2: "I think Person 1 might be power posting."
