Post Count

[vivitron 15]

so why was this moved? it is still constructive discussion regarding this forum. just because it has been decided that for now it is best to leave it how it is, why should this discussion be given to the mobs of the lounge?

if someone comes along later and decides to raise the subject, they ay indeed use the search function of this board. they would, undoubtably search "about our website" and get no results. why not just leave it be, and allow it to gracefully drop off the bottom of the screen?

What about keep the stars lose the post counts, that way you have some indication (albeit not much) of how much a member posts, which i think is sometimes useful information.
Or keep the post counts and lose the stars (I dunno how you would make it clear who is a mod tho) i think maybe without the stars people would be less bothered about reaching any milestones?
I'm not particularly bothered, I voted no though.

I agree with you there.Maybe a mod could inform us as to why this was moved?

Never remove a post count from a person or a forum. It just make the whole thing seem boring. It may bring on competition to see who gets the mosts posts. Even though it's useless, it's fun having it around and seeing how many times we've posted on the forum.

i know a few people here that just look at your #of post and assume whats in it, so ya you would still be called a spammer, but do we get post counts for the verified and requests??

but its moved because its over i guess

I wouldnt mind getting rid of post count in "The Worlds"
I think I posted like maybe 25 times actually helping somebody, rest is just chit chat, useless replies, quizez etc....

*edit: I meant "worlds" discussions only, verifieds is another story...

[Adster]

yes that is actully a great idea and it was once like that worlds didn't count for posts but then too many ppl complained about that and then they counted them

sorry for that shockingn miss typing with that last post even by my standard that was pathetic

Let me rant here
It's not big deal but I've noticed in my short time here that:

1. Members that say they don't care about post cuont surprisingly wnat to keep it. If it was gone wuold you still be the post wohre that some of you are?(hint hnit)
2. Members do feel "special" when reaching 1000 posts. I'm close to 1000 and voted to get rid of it by the way.
3. N00bs, kids, and immature asses spam the hell out the board for post count sake. (and post whores)
4. Getting rid of post count will spur more meaningful responses.
5. Your member no. and the year you joined should be enough. (hell even get rid of the stars)

LAST BUT NOT LEAST


6. We don't need post count to know who a n00b is. You can tell by the questions they ask, they way they ask it, and the overall quality of their posts. I've noticed many n00bs that have over a thousand posts but you call them senior members or some other crap.

YOU ARE NOT YOUR FUCKING POST COUNT!!!!
