If other parts of the forum were serious all the time then that would be a great reason not to count Chat and Games. But it isn't. It's a Big Brother forum not the Royal Institution, who's to say what should count as a relative and valid post and what shouldn't? A post is a post, regardless of what it contains. If I post a smiley in General Chat, it's still a post.

If post counts don't matter, why do we have them at all? No one would care if there were no post counts.

It's still a Post.
And it's quite unfair because quite a lot of us post decent content to there but it's just dismissed.

The most of us want it, so why can't we have it? And plus, it wouldn't even effect the ones who don't want it.

You're up against the establishment Cuda and the NO vote will be filled with lots of green

Completely agree

Smithy 31-12-2013 06:21 PM
Don't really know why people care about post counts

If they did count I'm pretty sure my posts would be 80k + so I'm kinda glad they don't :p

That's a very good point, they're always chatting in there, it's unfortunate that there are such double standards for non-mods. :(

I would like to see the mod forum, since I can guarantee it is 99% spamming (and those posts count)

people who post gifs just need to be banned. In facts, gif use should be outlawed

Agree completely!
Do away with the Post Count altogether, BEFORE CBBB starts

What's anyone elses post count got to do with it? If you think you contribute so much to the forum everyday stop limiting yourself to the chat and games section.

That is a nonsensical answer, NON Answer actually!

I disagree a post is a post regardless, a post with a detailed thought out response to a subject in serious debates is contributing a lot more than a post with a gif of some meme or a joker smiley.

Not all of the forum is serious all the time no but Chat and Games is like the spam central of this place, we post about the biggest lot of crap imaginable in here that's why the posts don't count.

If members are so bothered about getting a larger post count then they could apply some effort into the many other sections of the forum where posts do count.

Kyle 31-12-2013 06:28 PM
This has got to be the only forum where having a high post count is some sort of badge of honour. :joker:

I'm ashamed to have as many as I do now but then again I have no life.

Despite being an ex mod I have to agree with that, a place to bitch/chat crap gets posts counts.

You didn't mention the quality of the mod forum. :nono:

Benjamin 31-12-2013 06:31 PM
Good old mods...

Then what the hell is the point of having chat and games? This is getting pretty ridiculous if you ask me. :bored:

The mod forum is for discussing things though it's not spamming regardless of what you think.

Roy Mars III 31-12-2013 06:34 PM
this is another reason we should have Mod Elections. The members should have some say in how the forum is run
