Default Why do Chat & Games posts not count?
I only found this out the other day and it explains why I haven't reached 5k yet.

What is the actual reason for them not counting towards your post count? I genuinely can't see why not.

To stop people spamming and getting high post counts (e.g. games like Last Person To Post Is Sexy) but then with the advent of +1/-1 games it seems a bit redundant to me now.

But that's where the main chat happens, and also forum games like Elimination, Coach Tip etc where people take time out of their lives to actually take part in those games and their posts don't count :/ Surely if you're a member of this forum and you make a post then it should count regardless?

Didn't actually know it still counted for mods in there. No wonder they have ridiculously high post counts.

Well I agree with you but I think the official line is there's no reason to change it back to making them count, just as there's no reason for it in the first place, it's just one of those rules that's in place and will probably never change.

post counts should be eliminated in general. They are useless and only result in elitism

It would be too easy to get an artificially high post count if posts counted Chat and Games by posting in word games, random chat threads and so on.

There are threads in Chat and Games that could be posted in General Chat or another forum. If a thread is about a specific subject it could go in another forum.

It used to be that the post count next to posts didn't show a specific number, just something like 1000+, 5000+, 10000+ etc. I think that was better actually. There is an argument for doing something like that again, or even hiding the post counts completely on threads.

I would be all for removing post counts altogether mind you, or at least having the option to hide them

Yes, many of my highly amusing posts are should really count as 100 and not one as it does not reflect the complexity and uniqueness of the post

several posters should be deducted 100 each time they post as well. if Arista posts about the Chinese in Africa digging for minerals i would dock him 1000 but if he makes a highly amusing random post about say golden showers i would award him +1000
