JG. Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I have thought about this for a while, and I have decided to post a thread about it. I think post count in some of the foums on YCM should be removed, mainly because of spam. First the reasons for this idea. PollsLoads of people spam there, they can increase their points and post pount for saying what thier favourite food is! Or what their fave game is! IntroductionsNoobs can get easy posts by just saying welcome and then that's it. Some of the more respected members do it as well, unfortuantly. Need I say more? And there are also some forums which I am still pondering but I will post anyways. Clubs/OrganisationsLots of people spam there, and personally I don't think that the warning system for clubs will help. Many of the noob clubs (created by noobs) are just pure spam! I hope you can understand my reason for these suggestions, but as said, they are only suggestions, so they don't have to be put into action. If you support, even for only 1 of the forums, plase say so.

Sbamber Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I don't see why you should remove the post count. If you are going to remove post count you might as well remove it from the whole forum. Spam in RPSpam in Custom CardsSpam in IntrosSpam in PollsSpam in Club You can't take away all the spam.Only remove post count from Intros. That is it.

Enma Ai Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 i think its a good idea and also if someone *cough*noob*cough* gets a high enough warning level their posts would be halved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemniscate Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Remove post count from Intro.In Polls, real conversations can occur, why shouldn't people benefit from that? I support removing post count from Introductions Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotaro Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 do you mean to remove the forum or just post count if you do mean just post count, i would say introductions section to have post count removed, maybe polls but i dont see much spam there and i dont visit the clubs section so i wouldnt know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spire Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I support the fact that post count should be removed from the Introduction Section. Polls -- Maybe, though not all that spammy. Clubs -- No. There will be spam no matter what, and some clubs such as myself don't tolerate spam and try to keep the spam away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JoshIcy Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 The odd thing is, when a debate about all of this comes up. Its always Post Count shouldn't matter, but threads like this always pop-up... And seeing as most of us scale how long a person has been here + average number of posts. To determine how newbie etc they are, I say just remove post count altogether. Btw, I don't support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaca Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Don't remove post count from Clubs/Organisations, most clubs don't spam, it's just the noob ones. I kinda go with removing it from intros but not the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tiger Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I do not care either way. You do not have my support, because the posts in Polls and Introductions add to the topic, not spam it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
