Post Counts

[hobbes]

What is the logic behind not counting posts in the "social" section toward your total post count.

I have minimal point and click computer knowledge and so I can't really provide a lot help in the other forums. Heck, I haven't even bothered to figure out what a "hash" is.

All I do is allow people to download from my computer, almost 24/7 and I have ripped all my CDs and placed them in my "shared files" folder.

Being "social" helps to establish a sense of community, which helps keep a solid population base. So I feel that people who are strictly social do contribute indirectly by helping to keep people here and encouraging new arrivers to settle here.

I don't really care about my post count, just wondering about the logic.

The lounge and funny stuff is where we can all unwind and let loose. Take a look at some of the threads started. Take "worlds biggest spam" thread. Can you imagine the post count of some of the users who have posted in there? The stars would'nt fit on the screen!!! Most of the threads/posts (in the lounge/funny stuff) have no real value to the community other than light entertainment or, as you said, there purely for social communication.

hobbes does have a point, and I have to agree.

Not enough stars? Then put a cap on the stars. K-Lite has a 1000 cap on the participation points. you can still place the total number of points.

You only can get a max of 5 stars you know. :lol:

[WeeMouse]

I want a spam can ( :spam: ) instead of stars!

Maybe the spam can could be used instead of stars for people like me who live in the lounge!

I never said that!

[WeeMouse]

that is beyond evil!

What i meant by pidgeon being evil is that she bites me whenever i walk by her cage, and once actually bit my toe! (it's a strange story...)

feel free to post it in the biggest spam post in the world thread :)

[WeeMouse]

ok! :lol:

Her cage was on the living room floor (i was about to clean it out)
i was sitting next to it talking to my older brother. I put my toe too near to pidgeon and she just latched on! i couldn't move for about 5 minutes cos the wee bugger had such a good grip!


She is an evil wee git!

Its just the way it is... since post counts arent a concern of yours, dont worry bout it, be happy you can come and get verified free stuff, etc.

This thread is a perfect example of why posts in off topic areas dont add to ypur post count. It would be misleading to the noobs-they may think we're actually helpful!! :D

Oh and btw, Supergran was one horny old gal!! :lol: :) :( :x
