    It doesn't matter how many posts you have, but when you registered. So a person like Raistlin who barely even posts can still have some cred... wait, bad example.

    well, I for one think that post counters are aweosme..they help seperate the REAL members from the newbs who only come in from time to time....also, is it really that hard to just set spammers post to 0 or ban them?

    I disagree that it makes it easy to tell "real" members from people who don't post enough. Some people who post a lot are a pain in the ass, and some who haven't posted a lot are awesome. We want people to be judged on the quality of their posts, not the quantity.

    I think not. I may be similar to Unne in a lot of ways, but I'll never give up drinking, swearing, or being Canadian. Never.

    well, I disagree can't you just ban the people who can't handle the responsibility of holding a post counter?

    Yes, we can. That's not the issue.

    I remember a small forum where I and another member ran our post counts up verry high just to see the ranks...thats when the admin got angry and started making the higher up ones "ugly troll" and the such...thats when I stoped pharming topics...but my buddy didn't.. he soon had around 4000 posts and thats when the admin closed the forums all together. So..i'm satisfied with the "find all posts by this dude" option.

    It seems like almost every forum I join falls to crap...
    (in order)

    www.newgrounds.com/forums was crap when I started...just peoplecalling each other ghey and OMG u r teh suk! my post is 300! yersis 67!

    www.eyesonff.com I left after a month..can't remember why I just lost interest.

    www.blackdragonsbors.com dosn't exist anymore (admin closed it)

    http://gamesedge.conforums.com is now deserted

    www.eyesonff.com came back and it has yet to go downhill

    www.toonamiinfolink.com started going here a month or so ago...pretty slow paced, not alot of members

    Or not judged at all...

    I don't care about the post counts, but I can see how they would do more bad than good. Some people make posts saying 'this post is just to raise my post count' or 'postcount++' or something equally annoying. I'd rather take away the feature than keep it and ban people who abuse it. Less banning and work that way.

    See, the problem with that different point of view is that it's wrong.
