I was talking about if the post count was completely gone...
All I'm saying is there's probably loads of newbies that have already faded away because the forum already lacks features seen commonly on other ones and I'm not Ben saying that to be spiteful- it's probably true.

I have never got the 'it encourages people to spam!' argument though. Does anyone really do that? Does anyone really care that much? And if they do, spamming is against the rules anyway so just infract and/or ban them? That seems a lot easier that discounting entire subforums which essentially renders the 'post count' pointless
..:worry:...

Actually I don't want c&g to count because mods will start getting pressed when I make random pic threads

Not Niamh jealous of your wit?

Ammi 01-09-2016 01:59 PM
...but yeah, what Marsh says really..I'm not really bothered either way/if we have post counts or not...

T* 01-09-2016 02:01 PM
I don't really care anymore
I was only trying to be helpful

Don't take it so personally Tom, someone suggests this almost every off season

...Usually me.
Never comes to fruition though

I'm indifferent about the post count because I secretly don't want C+G to be implemented for fear it turns out my actual post count is something like 180,000 :umm2:

But yes to moving the off-topic stuff up the page a bit. Some of the subforums near the top need tidying up anyway, there's a handful of redirect links that look a bit messy. (BB1-16 series; CBB1-16 series, in the top section)

Nobody's shunning your idea, it's not a bad idea at all and I get where you're coming from, but I think people are just saying that if someone cares that much about their post count and/or uses other people's post counts against them, then that's not the fault of the forum but a fault of themselves x

Ammi 01-09-2016 02:06 PM
...as a compromise and to acknowledge those who run games and their effort and time...maybe a set amount post count addition could be added to the game host after the game or some kind of award/star/acknowledgement type thing given to them..?...

T* 01-09-2016 02:07 PM
Right so clearly people don't care about the first one so can we bring more attention to my second idea that I actually had the nerve to think was a good idea

Ammi 01-09-2016 02:07 PM
..some kind of acknowledgement in the avatar like with game awards for winners would seem like the thing, other than an added on post count...?...

Shaun 01-09-2016 02:08 PM
Or just move forum games to another section that does count? :shrug: idk it's really of no concern to me though

Because I know fine well that forum games have a tendency to have main threads that're also used as chat threads 70% of the time rather than actual tasks/competitions. And I also know I've been guilty of setting lazy "post count" tasks which really would be considered spam/unnecessary by the forum rules.

..I think that it's a really good point to acknowledge and encourage game hosts, Tom...maybe not through post counts, though...

Marsh. 01-09-2016 02:09 PM
Your second idea isn't a bad one considering you always get people wandering into the chat threads saying they had no idea they existed so some kind of banner at the top or something making its existence known at least would be good.

..llama guides would be good, keeping members in the right direction...

Jeez Tom, why are you getting so touchy? :laugh:

I like the second idea

I agree here - game hosts need a little something back
Like
You put so much effort in and you get some people who don't even respect that and insult you whilst they're playing your game... It's bizarre

Ashley. 01-09-2016 02:12 PM
I don't think the other sections are that hard to find, if people genuinely cared about the other sections then they'd post in them but I imagine a lot of people who visit during on-season are those that only really care about the site when the show is on, and there's no changing that.

Regarding post count stuff, IMO keep it as it is.

Crimson Dynamo 01-09-2016 02:14 PM
It took me about 4 days before I realised what the Powell thing actually was

:worry:


Also if we just ban Tom* would that not be a simpler and less complicated way forward?
