Default Post count in Chat and Games forum
To answer the previous topic that was locked.

I don't think it is worth allowing post count in Chat and Games. It just encourages random spamming at the expense of constructive posts. And it wouldn't be very fair, or reflective of contribution to the forum, if some members got a huge post count in comparison to others just because they posted a lot in, say, a word association thread. It would be possible to get an artificially high post-count by posting in a thread like that.

On the subject of the difference between General Chat and Chat and Games - General Chat is for topics about a specific subject (that don't fit in other forums), Chat and Games is for random chat threads (eg. The Loft) and forum games - both of those type of threads generate a lot of posts.

A lot of Chat and Games threads could legitimately be posted in General Chat actually.

Agreed about the General Chat/Chat & Games mix up though but still I cant see people getting it right.

Well just ask a Mod to change it, we ont mind people asking to move threads and stuff, it's better to let us know then we'll do it rather than not tell us and get mad because we don do it. if that makes sense?

Yeah I agree, there wasn't so many word games and stuff when it was stopped before. Now they're bumped every day so it's a bit of a pointless addition to post count.

It's sad that people actually care. You're post count is just a number. Seriously. I would be in favour of removing postcount altogether.

Post count means nothing at all...quality of posts does

Add me to the list of people who forgot about the Karma episode. Jesus that was dire. I resented the fifth of the forum that decided to actually keep it turned on. Usually people with ... well ... great Karma.

I think post count is important, how are we supposed to know if someone actually posts or not.
