If postcount doesn't count...

... why don't forum games count to postcount, while some equally "nonsense" in humour&jokes or OT counts?

Everyone keeps talking how "postcount is overrated" "it doesn't tell anything" etc. yet there is a minority who is discriminated in this thing which doesn't really mean anything according to many people, often the mods also.

If the postcount doesn't really mean anything, then why are some discriminated?

Maybe postcount in Forum Games doesn't count if the poster has more than 30 posts. Forum Games could help some people get 30 posts and a custom avatar that way.

Exactly. Lets remove postcount for those forums, too.

 

[Catharsis]

Oh, please no! I'd hate to see what disgracefully high level my postcount would reach if Forum Games counted.

Seriously, there's enough spam in that forum as it is, what with all the endless pictures of anti-tank guns and arguing over what tense wishes should be wished in, and it's only the lack of PC that keeps it at a manageable level: imagine if the real hardcore spammers were rewarded for posting there. It would be chaos, and all the proper games would get caught in the crossfire.

Agreed. I don't see why OT and H&J should count.

 

[Hitti-Litti]

OT should count, H&J shouldn't. OT has proper discussion too.

I think we should keep postcounts - It seldom becomes an issue in debates, and even then only among small childish personalities.

I think postcount should be kept, but only count in the civ related forums. This is a civ site afterall.

 

[GenMarshall]

We should most defenately keep the post counts.

Postcounts are not counted in forum games due to it's spammyness.

I still remember the Great Post Count Protest one year .

But it isn't only a civ site. There's some very good forums outside of civ here and they should be recognized.

Forum games shouldn't be put toward postcount, because I could write a program that makes valid posts there, it requires no brains.

 

[Cutlass]

after a few 10s of 1000s of posts you finally learn to not care about it much.

i disagree with having any section with post count turned off because it causes hard feeling for no return.

 

[Perfection]

Actually, I care very much about postcount.

 

[Birdjaguar]

I support post count in OT and most other fora.

 

[azzaman333]

Forum games is post count free because a majority of posts there are single word, and

because I could write a program that makes valid posts there,

If postcount doesn't count...

Post count doesn't count.

 

[Yoda Power]

Not surprisingly OT posters flocks to mention that OT should keep it's pc.

I agree with that. But I don't really care about the subject one way or another...

If postcount doesn't count, why have it at all?

Because last time it was removed, everyone got really mad...

 

[Yoda Power]

Has it ever been removed?
