Because, the minority who don't want it are on the side of the people who make the decisions.

I don;t understand why it cannot be trailed for a month and if it is as bad as made out then revert it back.

-it's hardly a minority, there is only 3 votes swinging in the favour of having it-

And how do you know that those who aren't online would want it? They could easily not want it themselves

19 votes are representative? What is the Membership? and anyway there are hardly ever more than 50 online at any given time during the off season.

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.

Some of the most inane posts I've ever read have been in the Big Brother section, actually. But posts count there, whatever's in them. Obviously. And I've seen many, many posts in that and other sections answered with a gif or a smiley.

I don't think this is about people getting high post counts, it's about being told that a post is only a post when it appears in a certain section, whatever it is that post contains. There are some amazing posts in Chat and Games, as there are in all the other sections, where many of us already post.

i don't really care either way

If they really care about the quality of posts they should get rid of post count and add a "Thanks" button to posts. I don't see why leaving out an important part of the forum is so important to them.

I think members are starting threads in C & G out of force of habit, think before you post, will it go in General Chat - it probably will!

Me neither, but some people clearly do, and it is an anomaly.

I've always thought it was silly that posts in C&G don't count because a post is still a post regardless of what it contains. As others have pointed out, there are many useless posts in other sections too. However, another forum that I used to go on also didn't count chat posts so I've never really questioned it too much.
