Just because you have many posts doesn't mean anyone else shouldn't

No cos '.'

shouldn't count

Locke is right, we all have too many posts as it is

Also the top ten posters with C&G posts included as pretty much the same as the top ten on the members list

post counts are pointless

No, that's not what I mean, from the date the posts do count, not all the previous c&g posts added

.

I don't know what your saying?

Messy

.

Right, so when the C&G posts do count, only the posts from then on are added.

I don't see why not, I like change.

This has to happen.

I never knew they didn't count and I don't see why they actually don't.

Here for people having 12134543234 posts

Why this thread again

No.

but i could of had my 10k award by now :(

I voted no, but honestly why would you want a high post count

"Look how much free time I have to post on a big brother forum"

not miss smithy with 41k posts

I wonder if some of the no voters would have a meltdown if it was gone all together

If you hadn't made 2 accounts you would have been on 11k :p

You're not far off it Luke :)

Chat and games is the place were people can post silly threads etc, and posts that would be seen as spam on other parts of the forum. If posts started counting, all that would have to stop.

tom ten years from now you look back on this thread and laugh

i had reasons for making another account, when i made this account i couldn't get in my other because i had forgot my password and email address to it, but that account has been deleted now which i asked josy to do as she already knew

true especially my thread about vile things :laugh:

Ok, I was just saying if you still used that account you'd be on 11k :p

tom i am going to be working around the clock to get your post count to 0

all that agree say tom is 0 post

oh haha :laugh:

I voted no.

I guess there was a reason they were not going to be included in the overall post count made as to members.

Thinking of the most loved poll for instance loads of posts would be just thank you or well done posts and for Birthdays loads of Happy Birthday posts.

I think the exclusion of posts from chat and games, leaves a more accurate reflected result as to posts made on a wide range of other issues and topics.

(I would however, be just as happy if they were included).

Chat & Games posts wont be counted. Pretty much the same answer as all the other threads asking the same thing.

Not sure what you think the poll will achieve either because the answer is still no.

:laugh:

Josy has spoken!

i wanted it but I understand why josy and mods don't want it to happen, so i respect their decision not to do it

So much for a discussion :laugh:

I was hoping you'd use some democracy to tell you what the users want..

why is there even a suggestions sub forum tbh

Quite right Joey, a post count is a reflection of the contribution you've made across the forum, include C&G posts and it would manly be a reflection of how much you've 'chatted' or spammed nonsense in there

That said, really though I wouldn't miss post counts at all if they were abolished and think it would be good for the forum
