Postcounts: To to or not to be?

[Narz]

Too bad there's no way to rate quality of posts.

What about a word count? I demand to know how many words I'm typed!!

 

[azzaman333]

Woohoo! Post Counts are back.

BJ - this seems done and dusted. I would like to respond to your post about 50 posts ago but it seems redundant (suffice to say I don't agree with your analysis of what I meant). Hopefully we can take it up again at some point in the future.

Check your pm for an update. I would look forward to the opportunity. This place being what it is, I'm sure the topic will come around again.

What a storm in a teacup.

But it does raise a serious question...

Is Thunderfall a flip-floppin' John Kerry?


Of course, I say no!

 

[Birdjaguar]

This whole bruhaha seemed to be very OT oriented. Did it spill over into the other fora at all? Did anyone else even notice or care or comment?

There was a user who created several D/Ls to protest, and spammed up the Civ3 forums. Of course, he was dealt with.

 

[M4 Sherman]

D/L's? Sorry, I am a n00b.

 

[Padma]

Duplicate Login. Sometimes called an "Alter-Ego". The rule on this site is you get one userid, period. If you create others, you will be dealt with. Harshly.

Don't be too happy yet...

Having a little trouble to getting the 5000+ thing to show right... It worked fine on my local forum but when I put the codes up on the CFC forum it doesn't work. weird

Whatever the final solution is, can you make it so that it shows when a member has only one post? If you do that, I'll be happy .

 

[Xen]

the final solution

---------------------------------------------------------------
seriouslly, though, soem one created DL's to protest the lack of post-count? well, they went rather overboard (I suppose thats somthing, coming from me of all people) but it dose rather show the point of people rather likeing the post-count.

As soon as TF approves it, my new post rating service will be fully integrated in civ fanatics. Each member will have a paypal account and when you post my service will ding your account for one thin dime. Then within an hour, your post will be rated by our team of experts on a 0 to 5 scale. Zero being spam. Stars will appear at the bottom of your post and an average of your ratings will also show up in your sig in the same manner. These stars will be color coded and have a special twinkle in the way the light up. That way your friends at CFC can compare your most recent post with your average posts. It will be very special. We have spent scores of dollars to get the effect just right.

Our testing is going along very well and we know that integration to the site will not be a problem. Our biggest obstacle is a language one. Our staff of expert post raters is having trouble with some of the English jargon used here. I expect that we will have that problem solved before we go live though. During our inaugural year will will be having some great promotions. Since many of you are school and college age we have orinted our giveaways to you. I hope you appreciate this.

Sample Prizes you can win:
**Most posts in a week: 5 number 2 pencils and a pocket sharpener
**Most posts in a day: Pencil topper eraser (yes we will actually award a prize every day of our first year.)
**Most posts in a month: A CD with your month of posts featuring your avatar and post count on the label. Extra copies of this beauty will be available for a small fee.

There will be many many others too; too many to list here. But the big prize will be at the end of the year. The top poster of the year will win a cyber date with the CFC poster of their choice!! We will arrange a special (and private ) on line chat with still photos of each participant. They will hav over 1 hour of time together without any interuptions. Live video with voice will be available as an upgrade for a small surcharge. I know some of you are already drooling.

We also know that there will be many disappointed posters at year end, so we have thought of you too. Every one who posts at least 1000 times during the year will be eligible to buy a commemorative CD of the top posters chat session **snicker, snicker** for $9.95 plus shiping.

So get ready! We hope to time our blast off withthe arrival of Civ 4. Now once Tf gives us the green light, we will select a few very special posters to help us do some live testing. Watch your PMs and together we'll watch yor post counts reach the skies.

And Thanks Narz for providing me with the chance to annouce this exciting addition to CFC.

under such conditions I'll end up oweing money

Now this is the type of smilie that this site needs.

I suppose thats one way of protesting.

 

[CivFan91]

I mentioned "D/L" in a couple of places. When I say that, I do not mean Duplicate Login. Instead, I mean "Download", just like the rest of all forums on the planet...

 

[Turner]

D/L = double login.

d/l, et al, = download.

Confused? Just look up the acronym "GL" in Civ3....

 

[Own]

Isn't it time this threads closed .

 

[Ansar]

you know, I think own is right, and i just wanted another post.

 

[CivFan91]

Yes. Could TF please close this thread? It has served it's purpose.

BTW, if I have to pay to stay on this forum, I'm leaving. Permanently. I'm only 14 years old, at least give MINORS a break if you do that!

 

[WildWeazel]

I don't think there was a shred of truth in that post.
