**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. **

But how do you know my 11,000 are useful? But yeah, I get what your saying.

VTS- most people like me, we come here after school just to chat and to troll the fourm.i have been here for a few months, and i admit that i have been on here for many hours at a time. I am not going to be spending as much time in random as i have i nthe past. but i will still post here, as long as my posts are not spam. :slight_smile:

well maybe then God (ie Kirupa) should set up a little number that shows the position you registered in…
ok that may piss off most… Nevermind

This is kinda of a wierd idea, and I don’t know how easy it would be to do it… but maybe you could like have a status instead of a post count. Like people could rate the helpfulness of your post, and once you got to a certain point your rank increased.
I dunno… just a thought

if a live chat could somehow be made, people could talk spam in that…

Hey everyone,
Actually, Nali proposed a cool solution. Post counts will be displayed as usual, except any posts made in Random will not go toward adding up your total post count number.

So, from now on, the only way to increase your post count is to help out on the forums besides Random. I think this works out quite nicely - provides a balance from the helpful members and others.

Cheers!

Yeah, bear with us everyone - we are treading on new, unchartered territory with this =)

Personally I think it was fine as it was. Good debaters like Phil should get recognition with a count too! :slight_smile:

Do you not agree?

Well soul, this is only temporary - I’m sure in a short while we’ll have this reinstated. Remember, post counts are just a number. One should post because they feel they have something to say - not so they can increase their post count :slight_smile:

Cheers!
