I make topics that I think are interesting or funny and they always get lots of posts, but then people come in and say my topics are bad and I get probated even though lots of people are interacting with them. What exactly do I need to do to improve?

First thing you gotta know is the people flaming you are what's known as "haters" or "clout chasers". Have you reached out to nom epique? He could probably offer you a lot of advice, he was once a GBS pariah but is now celebrated and treated as an almost holy figure by his former haters.

Well, like I’m a boring rear end in a top hat but I’m good at wearing people down into the comedy zone. I think it’s really just persistence and hypnosis and then getting people to laugh at POOP or VAGINA or force them into panic laughter like “omg that poop is too close to her vagina!”

To become a better poster you must find the next best poster and defeat them in physical combat.

Don't try to skip ahead more than one rank, though. If it's discovered that you tried to beat up someone multiple posting ranks ahead of you then you will be stripped of your posting titles and have to start over as the Worst Poster.

Just follow your strengths and be yourself instead of trying to emulate someone else. Maybe your strength is in posting badly, own it and harness it.

Deal with the mental health issues you have. Then take a break from posting. Your mother has messed you up.

OP, now that it has become a running gag, there is only one way you can stop being compared to Wizard Master all the time.

You have to track him down and cut his head off with a katana. That's how you get his posting power added to your own.
