Post Count

Well postcount hasn't been at every forum that i've been to, and those without it do just fine, in fact they really do have less spam than those i visit that have it.

The original purpose of the activity bar was actually to increase support for the complete removal of post count--judging from the responses now and comparing them to responses before, it has... Also, the activity bar is meant to help the noobies spot the people who are active, as has been stated, the active people know who's active, but the new members do not.

Oh, and in respect to !K_A!'s post, as Kuja`s #1 stated, he meant opposite of what he voted... 9-3 in opposition.

I do agree with Tidus2005 though, I really did initally like how the member title changed with a certain amount of posts. Honestly, that is the only reason I'm still around here. I initially came for Diablo Bot help, and to leech ( ), but after seeing my Title constantly changing, I became intrigued.

Anyway...

I came for Diablo 2 info, and i want to become a member soon.

Didn't mean to get you worked up over a Stupid Little Hack.

That fact is, if you get rid of post count. That will start a huge war for about 3 days with members pissed. Could also even lose alot of activity/members because of it.

1. I would acually like to see it go, but think it is a bad idea because of the loss of members, ect...

2. Your dealing with alot of kids on this site. Ages from 14-18. So being a forum with a dominating age rang like that, you should expect spam, and or useless post.

Which ever way the staff goes, i'm in full support with them, as i also been. I do like the idea of it leaving, i did it on my forum from the start untill we upgrading to Vb 3. No one really had any problems with it. Though my board is much smaller and not as active yet. I also have higher age rang on my site, seeing we advertise on a site where alot of older people go. And like WetWired said, it does help with spam. I go to alot of site with out the post count and there spam is much less.

Edit: Perfect example of spam - The post below me. HandOfHeaven. He needs to be in the Losers User Group. Notice how i EDITED my thread handofheaven!

Like me and Kuja's #1 posting useless threads.

If people leave the forums because the number of posts they have made is no longer displayed below their name then they don't deserve to be here in the first place. The sheer fact that it seems that important to anyone seems reasonable grounds for removal to me.

Well its not soo much the post count that i like, but its the activity that boosts you to member/senior member.

I dissagree. There kids, and normally are ammused by the littlest things.

Speak for yourself.

I think the people who would get mad are the people who are probly here for post counts(why?), and if they left I wouldnt care... but it seems senior members are wanting to keep it

My question is... even if you want to keep it, would you be mad if it was taken out?

[offtopic] If i was a moderator, you would have been banned along time ago. Keep spamming you will become a moderator in no time. [/offtopic]

Ontopic: He is part of the reason for the no post count rule. If it was possiable for me to change my vote to yes, i would.

I just really don't see this issue as a problem. If someone posts something that is shit, you don't have to read it. You can put members on your ignore list and their posts will never show up to you. There are so many other alternatives to getting people's spam stopped from a member's perspective, that this topic shouldn't even be feasible.

I don't like the idea of ignoring someone, sometimes they can make a very interesting thread. Most of the time that is unlikey to happen

Well, you can still read their threads/posts if you elect to. This can easily be gauged by the reaction to their post, if any, from other's posts to see if it is even worth it though.

I think post count proves how much of a life you have The higher the number the sader your case, unless your a real old member.

The purpose of Zelaron (in my opinion) is the progression of ideas, the spread of thought, and the discussion of important topics. When Zelaron experienced the rollback recently, people were dissapointed. I understand this as I was dissapointed myself. I was not angry at anyone for the crash. The only things I view as a loss are the ideas that were lost because of it. The discussions that were active before it happened are no longer present. The main complaints, however, that I saw from other users was that their post count had gone down or their activity bar had receded. Guess what I saw right after the rollback... I move that post count should be removed completely. I'm also adverse to the activity bar, but this thread isn't concerning that. What do you think the post count is good for? The members here know who has been here and who hasn't. We know who is active. We know who has contributed with good posts and who has spammed. What do we need a post count for?

in my oppinion the post count is important to any forum.I like seeing how many times I've posted.Activity is more important but post count is important too in my oppinion.

Plain and simple, no

I don't see how post count is hurting anyone. It doesn't cause people to spam like you might think, people would still spam after it's gone.

Instead of trying to put the fault on the numbers, put the fault on the people. Do something about the spammers. I know I use to be one. I finally chilled out. So will they. Just speed up the process.

Like he said tho, people do make threads/posts just to get the count up. I have to filter threw all those just to find a good thread/post to reply to.

Yes but people can spam and become so called "seniors" over people who been here for a long time.

then those ppl should/will be punished

yeah i'll try hard not to make useless posts, and i think Kuja's should to. And why do you want me to get banned LiveWire? Is it because I'm white?
