Should PM Add to Your Post Count?

[Tank_Guy#3]

Like the title says, should PM's add to your post count?

and

 

[ainwood]

Why should they? And why would anyone care?

 

[Black_Hole]

So how do you stop spam? You and your friend can get together and pm each other back and forth forever, clearing their boxes pushing your post count up incredibly high...

Also its called post count for a reason

 

[LLXerxes]

No... postcount let me break that down
POST- what this is, a message
COUNT- what Ohio State grads can't do... a listing of numbers usually used to signify the number of units in a set
So I conclude, no. PM's are totally unrelated to PM's

how true. post counts are for counting posts not private massages

 

[Perfection]

Yes, but only mine.

 

[Bluemofia]

Yes, but only mine.

No comment.

Personally, no, because spam will rise unchecked.

 

[Perfection]

No comment.

"No comment" is a comment

 

[MarineCorps]

Yes, but only mine.

Not suprised here.


PM's should not count for postcounts, not that I think they would be able to anyways......

 

[vbraun]

They do not add to the community, so no.

 

[Fetus4188]

Wait, we're supposed to add to the community?

 

[aaglo]

Response to the thread title: Of course not, what a silly question...

Response to Fetus: Of course, what a silly question...

Response to Perfection: Of course you had to say something as stupid as that...

 

[Perfection]

My PMs add to the community...

Eat Poop you Cat is vital for proper forum functioning.

 

[Stylesjl]

That goes on my top ten idiot ideas

 

[Reno]

No, since one can pm oneself as many pms as one likes (deleating them eventually) and then people would (very soon) have the same kind of postcounts that people like TLC have. And they would not have even made much of an effort to get it. Besides postcounts are useless.

 

[Xen]

Why should they? And why would anyone care?

my sentiments on the notion as well.

 

[IglooDame]

I'm not even sure that posts should add to postcounts.

 

[GenMarshall]

It would make no sense to have one's PMs be counted in a post count since you constantly delete them.

I think this obsession about post count it PATHETIC and STUPID.

Spam is going to slowly kill CFC.

What will happen when the interesting, smart posts disappear, when all post are boring, single sentenced posts?
That will be the end for CFC.

I say end with post count, those that really enjoy posting don't care about Post Count

POst Count is the biggest cause of spam and dumb, pointless posts.
