Deleting it and reverting to what it was like when I registered here.
Final Fantasy Tactics avatars, ranks based on posts, and no custom title or avatar unless you're a Knight, Admin, or avid poster.
Don't forget to delete this one though, so everyone who registers from now on will be cool.
That might actually be kind cool. ;_;
Please Mandee? Please?
We could go back to this stupid version after a month or so. No harm done.
*checks your post counts*
Nope, sorry, you're not cool enough to have an opinion.
I've only got 1300 or so right now? You must've deleted all my cool stuff.
If the post counts/custom rankings come about then spam will be reborn, which will cause me to eventually kill a selective group of people.
a little spam never hurt anybody.
except when linus died, maybe
OH NO NOT SPAM!
It'd be temporary spam, and that's only if you choose to. Spam can't happen unless it's fueled, Joel.
It's not freaking genocide.
*Remembers the great spam thread the immortally pissed me off*
Oh thats why.
that was a classic eoff moment. god knows we need more of them.
If you don't post in the spam, it's not hard to ignore.
Don't go in a spam thread, and your problem is solved. There are thousands of other threads to choose from, Joel.
Plus, if we did what I suggested, you wouldn't be forced to reregister at all in the first place. You could turn your back on the spam haven forever.
As long as I can use one of the avatars Linus made.
Actually. That would be really cool, you know. =] And bring back the forced Newbie avatar (hi) and then bring back the slowly-increasing-selection of avatars as you go up the ranks, too.
Either way is cool but y'no.
Well if your doiing this then at least toughen spam policies. Useless/pointless posts make my blood boil.
I'm all for cool-ness, myself. *nod*
See? LET'S DO THIS!
Let's not.
I agree with Dr. Quinn.
A month of "old-style" EoFF sounds like a good time. I'm all for it. It's like a look into the seedy underside of EoFF before I joined.
You people couldn't handle it. Having post counts displayed would have half the people at the MB frothing at the mouth in few hours, let alone the constantly-changing avatars. Please let me keep what few shreds of sanity I have left.
You're exactly right, Unne. I don't agree with post counts being disabled, but I consent that it's far too late to change it now.Quote:

Half of Gen Chat would be "OMG This is my 2000th Post!" threads and the other half would be spam. xD
I'm sure this all probably predates my arrival at the forums, but I can say I don't really like the sound of it, based on what I've read.
plaese that sounds kool, come on just for a month, if it all decends into crappy mush then fine back we go but it sounds really kool :D
Cool, I think we should do it.Quote:

1/2 of Gen Chat is spam and the other half is spam. If we had post counts, it would reduce spam by 50%
I suppport post count being seen. Or at least just tell me two things:
How many posts I have, and the "average post per day" it says for me. Thanks
I guess I could always disable posts counting towards your total in all forums, tell the board to recalculate all postcounts, then make them visible again - that way it'll still be stuck on 0 for everyone :D
However, I can think of one functional side effect of that on the forums, but I'm sure people won't mind what that is :p
That makes searching work all screwy, I'd assume. I never did understand why there would be a problem with postcounts until The Man showed up and outposted everyone in a few months. Bleh.
I was referring more to the "you need at least one post to have a custom avatar" here, I don't think posts in postcount-disabled forums count towards that :p I might be wrong though :p
