Because you can see their posts and how regular they are.

All of those look quite unhealthy and creepy. I'm not gonna remember who posted what where and how often.

I wouldn't mind post count being abolished if we had those star things back though or some form of ranking system.

You don't need to remember who posted what, where or how often. I don't know what or where you post but I know you are a quite regular poster. That's all anyone needs to know.

And that other idea is horrible. That's taking the worst bit of the postcount thing - using it as a status symbol - and actually giving it creedence as a status symbol.

To hell with it all. I'm getting Marxist up on this bitch.

I'm a bit disappointed tbh. I thought it was a good idea to allow C&G posts as part of your post count.

But thanks for the reply anyway, even if it isn't what i wanted.

This could be avoided if games was its own forum where it didn't add to you post count. Then Chat could be merged with General Chat. Or Chat could be made a sub-forum of general chat. Don't seem like a bad idea to me.

This exactly!

On the old forum,we had just 10,000+ posts etc instead of the actual number which you could only see on someone's profile. Don't know whatever happened to that.

I remember back then loosers also opened threads asking could the exact amount be shown as if it was some bizarre race or something .

Oh I remember that now!

500+
1000+
5000+
10000+
etc.

They should bring this system back to the table, would avoid pointless last effort spamming by members wanting to bump their post count over a certain point.

It would be possible to get an artificially high post-count by posting in a thread like that.

Utter Bollocks.

So other members who can actually behave and post in a normal way have to, I'm not going to say suffer because it isn't that extreme, but we have to be dragged down just because some ******ing trolls don't know how to contain themselves?

Jesus Christ.

Although to be fair, I see what you mean about the word association thread, can't you just disable the posts counts for that thread? Or just delete anyway as it adds nothing to the forum, what so ever?
