post counter

[kevin7653]

I think that every post we make should count and take off that thing that makes it so our posts don't go up when we post in certain forums

Leads to spam...the sections that don't count are for a reason.

[kevin7653]

whats that reason?

[Cin]

Well if Clubs counted they'd be a lot of people getting posts for pure spam. Same with games. If they don't really add to the forum, the posts shouldn't count.

oh ok

Examples: The Rep Time Bomb game, 6+5Rep game, etc. If posting in Games count, most of us would linger around there and spam.

[FTW (For The Wynn)]

No support for the reasons already given. As someone who plays both the games Sasuke mentioned, I agree with him 100% that those would be horrible ways to get post count. If you are really looking to raise your post count, join a couple of clubs and be active in them.

I propose post count be removed from view entirely. The stars give people a good enough estimate of how long someone's been on the forums, although that itself means almost nothing beyond if they know many people and general customs, so the only reason, as bad as it is, to keep post count visible, is invalid because of the level stars. Showing post count only leads to a select few people posting rubbish for post count and nothing constructive at all.

As Yin said.
Many posts in Clubs and Games are spam with no contribution to the Yugioh aspect.

One could gain 6,000 posts in Games, General and Clubs but have no knowledge of Yugioh, but the 6 stars gives them an appeal of high worth, though they're knowledge of Card Making may be invalid.

Ergo, disable all Multimedia, Graphic Design, Yugioh Card Maker and Other section posts (And Any Other, Realistic, Card Contests, and Pop Culture, while we're at it, they don't seem to have much to contribute to card design)

Somehow, I don't think this logic is the perfect solution. Prefer mine.
