Thread: Post counter suggestion

  1. #1

    Default Post counter suggestion

    I know that somebody took away the post counters so that when somebody gets a certain amount of posts they can get a custom title. Now it's just a custom title after 8 months. Well I think the post counters should stay but no matter how many posts you get only eight month membership gets you a custom title. Just a thought.

    It was a really long time ago from what I heard. The admins had a post counter set up that when you get a certain number of posts you get a title. People spammed the crap everywhere just to get a title so the admins just made it after 8 months you get a title.

    Yes it was liek that for a short time. You got to a certain lvl depending on how many posts you had. I thin that's what it was atleast...too long ago.

    The post counts are gone for other reasons than that. We don't want people making posts that say 'postcount++' or *adds to postcount* or something lame like that. I think it makes this place better.

    Postcounts encourage spamming. Notice however that this doesn't mean removal of postcounts prevents spamming.

    Would removal of pureghetto prevent spamming? Sor far I've convinced 3/4 of the staff that it would.

    'Member how Aaron used to post an insane amount of times when we had post count and we got rid of it and he kinda slowly faded into the shadows? I always thought that was fun.

    It was 1500 posts to get a custom title. Then Drex and Linus had spam wars. Then it was 1500 posts and 6 months. Drex and Linus still had spam wars. Then it was eight months. Now Drex and Linus are life partners living in a condo in San Francisco. The End.
