Since I managed to change the rating system. Not alone but with people.

 

I want to talk about the post counts in certain sections.

Before you start spamming me about how i'm being stupid etc.

Think reasonable.

THINK!!!

 

Post counts should be for people who posts smart posts.

I'm not saying certain sections aren't smart they are but there more for play/games.

 

Edit - I didn't read over this. If anything doesn't make sense sorry

---

 

Sections I suggest that should have no post count:

 

Random

Writing

Roleplaying

Forum Games

 

---

 

Why'd I pick these 3?

 

Random:

Because random section could be seen as a spam section.

And spam well is spam, I mean I post random stuff on random. Its more or less just a place to put anything/everything you want to. And for that reason it shouldn't be included for your posts.

 

Writing:

This is a bit iffy. Because some people write long amazing stories and they should be credited for it. But the Writing section could be seen as a place to post random pieces of Writing. ( Debatable )

 

Roleplaying:

 

This is more a play section. Its to have fun and just Roleplay that you're in a different world/reality etc. This doesn't really help the Forum with much. Not saying the others do. But this falls in closely with Random Section.

 

Forum Games:

Does this really have to be explained?

Its a game section.

It doesn't help anything. All you do is play.

The writing section, now that I think about it. Should be counted for posts. I don't know. Comment on other ones you suggest should/could be changed to no posts counted. If your going to suggest one, explain why.

 

And don't hate on me for trying to make certain threads No post count.

 

 

Also EVERYTHING HERE IS DEBATABLE!

If we removed post counts in those areas people would just spam the areas that actually have REAL discussion in order to increase their post count.

One more question. Why do you care? I mean, its just a little number below your username, surely a larger number doesn't mean your better than other people.

 

But thats just my opinion, feel free to add to it..

Forum Games currently doesn't count for posts. As for Random and Roleplaying, I've said this before:

 

There will always be people that post for the purpose of increasing their post count. A lot of people on this website will think like that, it makes them feel good or whatever... anyway. Currently, these users will think "oh, random/roleplaying is a good, easy way to increase my post count". So that section gets filled with "spam".

 

However, consider what would happen if that section didn't count for posts. Those people, who want to increase their post count, would think "well i have to post in other sections to increase my post count", and, this would result in other sections having more spam, and lower quality posts. By having roleplaying, we avoid some of that.

Feel free to discuss it, however.

I don't care, if I did wouldn't I have a huge number under my name?

 

And I'm only making a suggestion.

Not everybody will start to spam those areas. Your saying everybody will become a douche and just go crazy?

I don't know, I guess its an iffy topic.

 

Don't eat my head off. Just saying, I want to see what people have to say.

i don't care about post count, if someone is a very helpful member in all areas of the site, you'll recognise them by they're name (and/or CUT), not they're post count

I may post in those sections a lot... but by no reason WHATSOEVER do I do it just to increase my post count... I could care less.

But, that doesn't go without saying that I don't want those sections to not have an increase in post count... nuh uh, NEVER.

Please keep the post count... cause Ill be rather angry if you dont >.<

I don't agree with this, most of people from this site stay in Random and RP, and we're here to have some fun too, most of my posts for an example are from the rp section, you should keep this post counts or this site might lose a lot of members. What makes me stay here at least is random and rp and I believe I'm not the only one.

I mean... Posts are by far not my driving force...

I post to post... simple, and RP is fun to me.

I'll admit this...

My goal was to get the highest post count on the site... but I never would have spammed or gave nonsensical posts to get there...

Posts are good... no matter where they are.

I agree with Giz when I say...

It would not be a good idea.

If Auxon is so damn worried about post count...

why not Personal, Introductions, Website, or News?

No one posts there often... and the posts they do have almost always end up closed. Its not FOR discussion, its for problems and news... no real reason for a post count to increase.

But if you took the post count away from somethings thats FUN?

That'd be wrong...

I agree with Rox, we're all here for the fun, not for the news or for the personal problems, at least most of people I know should agree with me.

I'm not saying we're not here for news... news is good. Just people get their news on the front page, and rarely post on the actual thread. going to the KH forum to discuss in place... the entire top forum

? Website

? News

? Introductions

they should be purged before anything else...

then maybe

? Personal

 

Thos forums post count should not increase... not where people have fun.

-_-

Random:

Because random section could be seen as a spam section.

And spam well is spam, I mean I post random stuff on random. Its more or less just a place to put anything/everything you want to. And for that reason it shouldn't be included for your posts.

 

It's random, what do you expect, smart intelligent posts to be seen there? Come on now.

 

Writing:

This is a bit iffy. Because some people write long amazing stories and they should be credited for it. But the Writing section could be seen as a place to post random pieces of Writing. ( Debatable )

 

This is ridculous. Why remove post counts from a place where there is no spam? That's like giving a gold star to a bad person and nothing for the good person. You can write anything in there, like poems, because they AREN'T spam

 

Roleplaying:

 

This is more a play section. Its to have fun and just Roleplay that you're in a different world/reality etc. This doesn't really help the Forum with much. Not saying the others do. But this falls in closely with Random Section.

 

That's a place to have fun, not to spam. It's should not fall even close to Random section.

 

Forum Games:

Does this really have to be explained?

Its a game section.

It doesn't help anything. All you do is play.

 

It already has no post counts...so Forum Games needs to be subtracted from your list.

 

Plus, what does it really matter if they are trying to get their post count up using those forums. They aren't any better or more powerful than other members with low post count or those who do not try to increase their post count.

 

And to that, I demand no change.

I agree with Daniel, Aaron, and Deathskull.

If the post counts were to be discontinued in those particular sections, members would become upset and leave or focus their attention on spamming the other important sections, I am not saying everyone from those sections would begin to spam the others, but you never know. I think it is rather pointless to change it, having a large amount of posts does not make you any better or higher, it is how you contribute. Random and Roleplaying help create a balance with the other forums and decreases the percent the of spam ending up in KH discussions.

Amazing that I suggest something and people get upset.

 

Close thread please.

Alright, I closed it for you since you requested it here and via private message.

No one's getting upset? Oh well. Message me if you want it opened again.
