I don't think anyone doesn't like your posts. I think Commodore's point is just that the threads in this game (including this one) tend to read like internal coordination between players of a team, and aren't written with the main goal of keeping an outsider interested in the game.
This isn't bad. People have different reasons for playing.
There are different kinds of reporting that keep lurkers engaged. Detailed discussion of game mechanics and builds and plans turn-by-turn is one way. Sullla and Speaker's thread in PB2 is the gold standard for this. Another way is story-telling, e.g. see some of Commodore's game threads. Scooter and Pindicator also seem to have it figured out. I think the common element is that the posts are specifically written to be read from the point of view of a lurker whose only source of information is your thread, rather than to be consumed by a team member to agree on finer points of detail.
Again, I'm not saying you should do this, just that it's what makes popular threads and games to follow.
