Kirupa and I, along with the Mods have decided to test out what the forum behavior would be if postcounts were eliminated. It seemed that most of the spam was generated in hopes of increasing postcount number. Hopefully this will stop the spam for a while and postcount numbers will eventually be returned to normal ---

Hey mlk! Thanks! The credit goes to everyone who posts here day in and day out. Regarding the post count, it’s just a test to see whether the amount of members who merely post to ratchet up their post counts will stop with the removal of the post count. This is only temporary - they should be back in a bit! Cheers! Kirupa 😠 ---

> Btw, isnt the random section _specially_ for so-called-spam ? \*\* Acutally the random section was created because in the old forums people were posting non flash relevant information on the FLash board. The random section isnt designed for spam. it was made to discuss topics that didnt fit anywhere else on the board. it was never created to be a wargrounds of any sort. ---

I’m sorry i re-read a few posts and I really understood what spam meant… hehe kirupa is the one and only forum i’ve been on: Spam is just adding \*\*\*\* that doesnt belong to a thread… But is it also posting threads which are maybe not computer related ??? (ie: posting links or personnal life ?) ---

Maybe this doesn’t deal much with topic, but I was going through members list and found that there are more than 800 unactive members, who haven’t posted any post. I don’t know is this bad, but maybe some kind of rules would solve this problem… ---

Yeah, we don’t mind off-topic general discussions. We just want to put a stop to posts that are simply like: “I got 1,500,000 posts!”, “Spam here now!!!”, etc. Stuff like post your desktop, favorite games, etc. are all good topics that can be posted all day long. For most of you, who do not post spam, you will hardly even notice the changes. Cheers! Kirupa (-: ---

Just so everyone here knows… post counts mean nothing. Whether the post count is enabled or not, it still serves no purpose. It doesn’t get you anything special to have more posts, so theres no point in it. And threads created without a point are considered spam. If you want to show people something, then thats fine. But threads were being created repeatedly just to say “goodnight” or “what are you up to right now”, etc, etc. ---

like K said, the point is to cut blatant Spam not off-topic conversations. It may be hard to see the difference but its there. ---

Actually lost, post counts are semi-relevant. If you post a helpful solution to someone, and I post one, them seeing you have 11000 posts, and me with 200 (useless ones), they’ll save time by just going directly to see yours. ---
