This, I don't even see the point of post count even being a feature tbh. Removing it would solve all the problems of "oh this section should count but this other section shouldn't" etc. And it would be less intimidating for new members.

I disagree. Taking them completely away will just make the forum look like there's another common feature absent from this one that's available on basically any other forum

So? It doesn't actually do anything.

If they were removing an image posting feature or something that actually makes a difference to the forum then that would be an issue but a post count doesn't do anything.

It just makes it look inferior which in turn makes people not want to stay here

If someone wants to leave the forum because they have a problem over a post count feature then maybe we don't want that person here in the first place.

Who has left, or is considering leaving because (mostly) spam posts do not count towards their total?

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.

Well you'd be surprised at the amount of times I've seen "20K posts? Get a life." or something along those lines in the year that I've been here.

Ok now posts like this are pretty annoying you know? Both Nimah and Vicky replied to this thread in the first few replies so no it doesn't just get ignored.

Although a few members on here do tend to say things are 'always ignored' when they don't get the answer they would like.

I'm sure Tom being told his contributions outside of the "intelligent" sections aren't worth much is pretty annoying too you know?
