Re: How many posts do you REALLY have? - The Adam Diamond - 22-07-2008 08:58 AM
Why would anyone want to remove forum games posts anyway?
Re: How many posts do you REALLY have? - Cassie - 22-07-2008 09:03 AM
Because, like a lot of forums think, they aren't proper 'posts'. In a lot of those threads you're posting just one word. There's no effort in most of those forums games (I exclude ones like '3 Facts about the Person Above You', which does take some effort, haha) and I don't mean to offend Allison, but she has 7,000+ posts yet about 6,000 of them are forum games. Do you really think that works out right? I just don't see it, personally... it's too easy for people to go up in post count when it isn't always necessarily deserved it and gives the wrong impression to newbies. But that's just my opinion, I guess.

Well, I suppose..... But loads of people would go down.
Like, as you said, allison. She would be bumped all the way back down to early hero sim.
And I would be at the start of 2,000; My most hated number that I celebrated leaving! I would have to go through another 1000 of 2's........ That's totally unfair. It kills my soul. Literally.

Ok, I have three options here;
1) Leave things as they are. This is probably the best option!
b) Make it so the games forums do not count towards post count. I can see this causing lots of problems, as this thread has highlighted!
iii) Hide peoples post counts so nobody knows how many posts other people have. Again, I can see this being unpopular.
Discuss {blink}

I am not that fussed, I was just pointing out why it was a good idea to have it not count. But I don't want to cause argument or have people mad at me, so, I guess you should just keep it as it is now.

To be completely honest, I wouldn't really call her music "alternative." Just my opinion, though.
And please stop fighting, you two...it's okay to have different opinions.(22-07-2008 08:33 AM)à®â¥Â¢Î±ÑÑÎ¹Ñ âα ÑιмÑÑÑÑâ¥à® link Wrote:Okay, I'm just going to zoom back to a page or two ago (because, by weirdly amazing coinkidinkness, I decided to read through this thread rather than skip to the last page {woot}) and say I did talk with Paul on MSN about the forums games post count being removed and yes, I did agree I wanted them removed, and if that meant losing my award, so be it. I just think it would be more positive for the forums than people realise yet. However, you guys are in luck, because we PMd Matt about it and as far as I know we didn't get a response, sooo.... we'll be keeping forums games post count anyway, it seems.
Actually, I agree whole-heartedly about removing forum games from the post count. Five minutes in the game section ups your post count by at least 30-50 posts, and some people are really abusing that. Besides, it's not like you're really contributing anything, so why should we get credit, basically, for not doing anything? They should be for fun only, in my opinion. In fact...I have an idea...

Maybe we should have a poll to see what people want to do? I guess it's always best to go with the majority. {yes}
And I can always switch it back later, nothing gets deleted, all it does it not count those posts in your total post count.
Re: How many posts do you REALLY have? - Cassie - 22-07-2008 04:33 PM
Why don't we just do a poll and see what people want? Because to be honest I just don't mind anymore... I'll go with whatever makes everyone else happy.
EDIT: Well Matt beat me by seconds with that idea. {rolleyes} {tongue}
