Prower Posting 

A term to describe a derailment of a conversation by posting pointless and irrelevant Hanna-Barbera trivias and weird obsessions of cartoon characters with ginormous limbs, ruining the tone of the discussion. Commonly used by an obnoxious individual in Discord servers that are unfortunate to have them.
Friend A :" My cat passed away. Today was a hard day."
Friend B:" I'm so sorry to hear that buddy. I have a picture of my late cat I can share. Hold on."
Prower poster:" Uh... that's odd. So anyway, heres Huckleberry Hound in the 80's Yogi Bear cartoon. You can see he is a bit off colored to his 30's cartoon counterpart. Making him his nephew"
Friend A: "There he goes prower posting again. I'm leaving this server. Wouldn't miss it here. Stop DM-ing me pointless cartoon trivia, asshole. I don't give a shit."

power posting 

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."
