Post Counts

[OO7MIKE]

I think they should die. Its just an invitation for spam. Im sure all of you have noticed this. Otherwise people would not brag about there post counts or post so much.

Yeah probably, because I just got this urge to start doing spam and stuff, and that's something I've never done on BuF. It's tempting, very tempting, so can we please get rid of the post count? Do it just like it was before, where the only way you could see the post count was to click their profile and look.

Clearly an oversight by the admins; this should be remedied soon.

We'll probably remove them for the main forums at some point.

I've always been able to see postcounts in the style I use. Who really cares I like postcounts. Kinda shows whos been around longer and stuff without having to look at the joined date.

I had exactly 999 posts when the forums went down. This would've been my 1000th post.

Oh well, I never really cared about postcounts anyways.

Speaking from experience, I can tell you that might not always be the case. It can also be evidence that someone's a spammer.

The forums became a better place when post counts were dropped.

Dayum!!!! I feel sowwy for you.

Dexter, I don't have very many posts and I have been here for a pretty long time. What do you have to say about that?

 

[jasdave]

How about post counts visible in OT forums and in the member profile?

 

[ZenPirate]

Joined date matters a bit, it shows you stick around and contribute to the community (without getting banned..phil ). post count does nothing but cause problems here. It's already starting in this thread. Die post counts. die.

I've been here longer and participate more I guess.

Sure, I miss my old post count but my joined date matters most.

You have that little self control that a visible number is tempting you to spam?

That's seriously f***ed up.

 

[FaT CaM]

People judge you on appearence, so if you have 10000+ posts theyre going to think your one of those guys whos been there for ages and knows like...everything.

but then again a funny avatar and sig can work wonders.

You do have a good point there.

It also does promote spam to reach higher numbers. I dont care what mine is.

 

[fauker]

Yes - its spam promotion.
