Post count in Chat and Games forum

[James]

To answer the previous topic that was locked.

I don't think it is worth allowing post count in Chat and Games. It just encourages random spamming at the expense of constructive posts. And it wouldn't be very fair, or reflective of contribution to the forum, if some members got a huge post count in comparison to others just because they posted a lot in, say, a word association thread. It would be possible to get an artificially high post-count by posting in a thread like that.

On the subject of the difference between General Chat and Chat and Games - General Chat is for topics about a specific subject (that don't fit in other forums), Chat and Games is for random chat threads (eg. The Loft) and forum games - both of those type of threads generate a lot of posts.

A lot of Chat and Games threads could legitimately be posted in General Chat actually.

[Smithy]

*agrees*

[MTVN]

Yeah some good points in there, I agree with that

[Benjamin]

:laugh2:

[Jordan.]

BOOOO! :(

Agreed about the General Chat/Chat & Games mix up though but still I cant see people getting it right.

[Jessica.]

:sad: It was only supposed to be taken away temporarily though.

[Kerry]

Well, if it ain't broke....

[Iceman]

Well just ask a Mod to change it, we ont mind people asking to move threads and stuff, it's better to let us know then we'll do it rather than not tell us and get mad because we don do it. if that makes sense?

*cough, I'm sure you're wurking it helps that cause, cough*

:tongue:

[InOne]

Yeah I agree, there wasn't so many word games and stuff when it was stopped before. Now they're bumped every day so it's a bit of a pointless addition to post count.

[Stu]

It's sad that people actually care. You're post count is just a number. Seriously. I would be in favour of removing postcount altogether.

does that mean i can go on a gif spree :amazed:

Same actually.

Post count means nothing at all...quality of posts does :)

I'd forgotten all about that

[Stacey.]

Didn't Tommy have like - something in karma? :L

[Vicky.]

No.

[Benjamin]

what is karma D:

We all used to have a karma beneath our name where others could plus/minus points based on our 'posts'.

[InOne]

Same actually.

Only A class here :bouncy:

[Stu]

Add me to the list of people who forgot about the Karma episode. Jesus that was dire. I resented the fifth of the forum that decided to actually keep it turned on. Usually people with ... well ... great Karma.

[Iceman]

Didn't Tommy have like - something in karma? :L

Yeah every 12 hours I minussed it to annoy him i got it to -130 something....

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

No.

I think post count is important, how are we supposed to know if someone actually posts or not. :bored:

All of those look quite unhealthy and creepy. :bawling: I'm not gonna remember who posted what where and how often.

I wouldn't mind post count being abolished if we had those star things back though or some form of ranking system. :evilgrin:

You don't need to remember who posted what, where or how often. I don't know what or where you post but I know you are a quite regular poster. That's all anyone needs to know.

And that other idea is horrible. That's taking the worst bit of the postcount thing - using it as a status symbol - and actually giving it creedence as a status symbol.

To hell with it all. I'm getting Marxist up on this bitch.

I'm a bit disappointed tbh. I thought it was a good idea to allow C&G posts as part of your post count.

But thanks for the reply anyway, even if it isn't what i wanted. :mad:

This could be avoided if games was its own forum where it didn't add to you post count. Then Chat could be merged with General Chat. Or Chat could be made a sub-forum of general chat. Don't seem like a bad idea to me. :shrug:

This exactly!

[Princess]

On the old forum,we had just 10,000+ posts etc instead of the actual number which you could only see on someone's profile. Don't know whatever happened to that.

[Stu]

I remember back then loosers also opened threads asking could the exact amount be shown as if it was some bizarre race or something :joker:.

[Benjamin]

Oh I remember that now!

500+
1000+
5000+
10000+
etc.

They should bring this system back to the table, would avoid pointless last effort spamming by members wanting to bump their post count over a certain point.

Utter Bollocks.

So other members who can actually behave and post in a normal way have to, I'm not going to say suffer because it isn't that extreme, but we have to be dragged down just because some ******ing trolls don't know how to contain themselves?

Jesus Christ.

Although to be fair, I see what you mean about the word association thread, can't you just disable the posts counts for that thread? Or just delete anyway as it adds nothing to the forum, what so ever?

[Niall]

What was karma anyways? I did have an old account on here from around May '09 but I don't remember anything about karma?

[Patrick]

We got to rate eachother, Up or Down.

We would have 'Karma -3' or 'Karma +52' etc under our avatars to show how loved or hated we are.

I loved it, I had like Minus 100 or something :love:

But some people become like Suicidal over stuff like that and can't take it on the chin so it wasn't added back when the forum was like, revamped.

*remembers Karma* I think it went soon after I joined though.

Ohhhhhhh. I see. So it was kind of like most hated/loved but a constant thing. Hmm that sounds cool *wants karma to be brought back*.

[Patrick]

I remember people use to be like 'If you do this for me I'll boost your Karma for a month x'

[Niall]

LOL thats kinda sad people would do stuff for karma :')

[Niall]

How was the forum revamped exactly though? All I remember of the 'old forum' was the way quoting used to work, like there were always about half a million quotes when people were having a 'convo' instead of one quote like now. Do you know what I'm on about? :L

[Novo]

The britney fans twatted my Karma everyday until it was about -20 then after i destroyed them all 1 by 1 it went back up to +25 because everyone was so thankful that i sorted them out

Funny, I make alot of threads, I post alot, I talk to people, I get involved.

I add alot more to this forum than some of the ******ing trolls that run around this place.

[Patrick]

Well, he has these pathetic little cry baby rants about the most pointless things and it's dull. :bored:

You're ******ing dull and Smithy's bang on right.

It just shows how two faced you are actually, You arse licked everyone and were fine with me for months when you were a mod.

You drop your Green title and suddenly you're a knob.

[Novo]

^ What a post :joker:

[Stu]

Well you have to be impartial as a mod, to be fair. If he was biased you probably would have went on a lovely bolded, italicized crusade against that too.

This is fun. This is a fun thread. I'm sitting down.

Er don't put words in my mouth, I just said he was being bitchy, and it would have been unprofessional to have been bitchy as a mod

[Niall]

I wonder how long till this is locked/deleted...

[Patrick]

Fair enough yeah, He wasn't going to act like this if he was a mod actually.

But UKTurtle was always fine with me, like acted as if he was a mate on the forum and now he's suddenly became a prat, whether he's on his period or not I don't know.

It's not as if I have gotten 'worse' since he was a mod, because I haven't been here.

[Patrick]

I wonder how long till this is locked/deleted...

The day a Admin locks his own thread, Is the day the world will come to an end.

It's like TiBB's version of having a Black Pope.

He answers his own question in the first paragraph then asks the same question again in the second.

Brilliant.

You're not understanding me Stu,

If you don't like someone, which UKTurtle clearly doesn't like me, and you CAN'T be a bitch to them because you have to live up to being a mod, then Ignore them or be calm with them.

UKTurtle, Acted as if he was a friend to me on the forum for a good few months, I remember before I left for a while he was one of the members I would have abit of banter with.

And now he's a Dick to me, Can you see where I'm coming from?

Maybe he just thinks you're a bit of a dick now? It's not my place to say. I have had plenty of harmless convorsations with people I think are complete dicks because I'm not expecting most of them to come back a few months down the line and raise the issue like we were a married couple or something.

[Patrick]

I'ma go play Mafia II, I expect when I come back I'll be banned because UKTurtle has 'connections' :rolleyes:

Talk to you all in a week x

Is that what you think I'm doing?

I don't mean to cause trouble, when I came back here about a week ago I wanted to turn over a new leaf, It's just some people like UKTurtle expect me to be a crazy, big mouthed ******, Which I'm not.

So I don't understand how his opinion on me has changed, especially because the last time I spoke to him about a month back he was cool.

But you know.

[MTVN]

I suppose it was just because he considered your reaction to be a bit OTT and then you went and said Word Association should be deleted and adds nothing to the forum just because you dont personally have any interest in the game
