How did you get 74k? D:

InOne 25-04-2014 06:38 PM

Apart from posting obviously but was most of that from the towers?

Niamh. 25-04-2014 06:40 PM

Nah, mine is so high because Chat and Games posts counted in 2009, when I was doing a whole lot of chatting in the the chat threads

thesheriff443 25-04-2014 06:44 PM

I dont care about post counts.

InOne 25-04-2014 06:45 PM

Yeah but so did I lol. That's where most of my posts were from.

mmm I suppose I chat more in the mod chat thread then the chat and Games ones these days but no where near as much as we did back then in the Den

Ramsay 25-04-2014 06:48 PM

Bring back 5000+ 10000+ etc :lovedup:

Jack_ 25-04-2014 06:53 PM

Can we not just at least trial C&G posts counting again? I don't think spamming will increase and if it does just ban them

Or at least let us know what our actual post counts are for like a day? I mean someone's probably hit 100k already and we have no idea

Ramsay 25-04-2014 06:54 PM

I'd actually like to know what my actual post count is too

Ramsay 25-04-2014 06:54 PM

denied my rightful place in the +30k club and i've never spammed a day in my life :(

Jake. 25-04-2014 06:55 PM

I don't even want to think about mine with C&G included :laugh:

actually I do tell us please

Ramsay 25-04-2014 06:55 PM

Turn it on for a late april fools day joke
the people have spoken

MTVN 25-04-2014 06:56 PM

Think there'd actually be loads of people with post counts in the hundreds of thousands if they did count, when you think about how quickly posts rack up in the chat threads and other c&g threads compared to in the other forums

Marsh. 25-04-2014 07:03 PM

But does it matter if they get a high post count from taking part in the chat threads?

Post counts don't really mean anything in the end so why bother?

Livia 25-04-2014 07:04 PM

What a shame that the post count was turned off for C&G because some people spammed and spoiled it for everyone.

We should take it to the Appeals section... Oh no, hang on a minute... Same thing happened.

Having posts not count just means it's not really a post count, is it? It's hardly an accurate representation of how many posts you've actually had meaning all the awards aren't really that true at all. If you're going to have a post count it should include every post you make, no matter how little or big, that is the point of having such a count after all.

Jack this is a few times I have noticed you posting this for different reasons...

I'm pretty sure you are aware that there would be a massive kick off if we started banning people for something like say spamming a smiley, we already have people constantly moaning when we put members on a ban for severe rule breaks.

Also mods don't get a massive post count just because of our chat thread, which doesn't contain any spamming anyway...we also post a lot in infraction and warning threads giving our opinions and discussing things about them.

There is too much spamming on the forum as it is especially with .gifs and images...

If anything I would be all for removing post count altogether, but don't think any changes need to be made atm.

:joker: God forbid they actually have to delete one extra post here and there.

:bored: What is the point in asking for anything, all you get is "why would we want it?", "that would cause more work for us", "we do more than you think" etc.. Someone could at least make an effort and do things that we ask for temporarily, like for a week and if it doesn't work out then fair enough, but being pessimistic about it EVERY SINGLE TIME and thinking the worst every time is not going to solve anything, it's just going to make people question you more. This forum would not exist without the members but none of the suggestions are ever looked into, there is no effort actually made to try anything because everyone thinks of the worst case scenario every time. LIGHTEN UP!
