Post counts from "forum games" section

[FlyingJesus]

Take a look at the forum games section, and all you see is a few words per post, which don't contribute anything to the forum except for the fact that they allow other people to reply again and raise their post counts more. In terms of how useful or how relevant any of it is, it's less so than the spam forum or the VIP subforums, and yet people are still able to pump up their post counts simply by hanging around in that dungeon of a category.

Whilst I'm not personally one to care too much for post count (seeing as how most of my posts are in spam/VIP) I think it's pretty wrong that people can spend a couple of days in a category which is usually active (likely due to the fact that the following is possible) and get their post count and rep powers up far quicker than would usually be the case. This, along with them having bought VIP as a lot of them do, allows them to give off the impression that they are somehow important or a useful member, and generally seems to turn them into a type of person which I can't say on here due to the filter.

Therefore, I would petition that the "forum games" area be made to not increase posts counts, so as to counter the problem of absolute fools thinking they're bigger than they really are. This isn't an entirely selfish proposition as I'm sure I probably stand to lose a few posts from my sporadic times spent there in boredom, but hell boredom's all that that area should be used for; not for raising post counts.

No, less meaningful conversation and debating goes on in forum games than it does in spam, so I don't see why spam posts shouldn't count while forum games do.

& i think all the posts made in forum games before now should be removed from people's post counts. it would be funny to see them **** out over it :)

[Nixt]

This is similar to an idea I had here (http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=369661), almost everyone agreed then, so I think it's obvious something needs to be done! I am in full agreement :).

[Naruto!]

ye posts shouldn't count.
it would be funny to see how inactive the forum would become.

Perhaps if they just closed the section and hid it so people dont lose the posts because that will really annoy people, but yea I agree some people post there just to get their post counts up and not to have fun. I bet the section would be half as popular.

EDIT:
Hmm Ive just noticed someone not naming names has posted like 100-200 times already today and replying to his own posts, I think this should happen soon because it is really unfair towards those making real posts.

[Naruto!]

In Garion's thread ---MAD--- voted NO, so I don't think this is going to far unfortunately.

[Scuzzy]

I dont see how it matters to you are you taking this as some kindof competition. Let people do what they want to do and mind your own business. I post in the forum games because its fun and i like reading what people post. And usually the forum games are for one word posts.

Yeah that's what my idea was originally. Close the Forum and hide it, keep all the threads and posts and create a new Forum games section where post count doesn't rise :).

[jesus]

Yeah that's what my idea was originally. Close the Forum and hide it, keep all the threads and posts and create a new Forum games section where post count doesn't rise :).i guess that would be a compromise, i dont see why it matters though really as some members do actually like playing the sames and it's something to do for them as well as contributing to the forum n ive forgot what else i was gonna say now o wel

If it doesn't matter to you then there should be no objection to either mine or Garion's proposition. You mention the forum games are for one word posts usually, and I don't see how that's at all useful while spam (in which most of the drama gets sorted) doesn't do anything.

But the thing is people arent contributing to the forum, games are getting pointless with ones such as rate the signature and somthing you have in common with the person above. I mean people are treating it like a spam section. I personally enjoy playing the games because its somthing to when your bored but people are abusing them just to get post count up.

i dont mind either way what happens, i just play wen i av nout else to do/theres hardly any 'new posts' on the search

[beth]

i came all the way back to vote that it's unfair. yes. thanks.

[FlyingJesus]

I saw someone touched upon replying to one's own posts in forum games, and yeah I've seen that a lot - people making two accounts, or someone and a friend at the same time just posting and posting and posting. It's not contributing anything to the forum and is frankly ridiculous.

It does matter to me because i post there very often not to raise post counts, and i said nothing about spam forums not counting i just mentioned that you have to start this stupid petition. So you wouldnt be complaining if it had nothing to do with post counts so if you really look into it you are just mad because people are getting more posts than you, so you are really taking this like a competition. If posts didnt count there i doubt many people will still post there and this forum would be good as dead. As said before there arent bery many new posts so while im looking for new posts i see the forum games and i just post there because its the most interesting thing to post in at the time. Drop it.

[Sly]

id agree with you on that one, thats a bit stupid rly
thats like u me n tom lol

were not mad, Its just posts in that section are now becoming to much people are pointlessly posting to raise post count which is breaking the forum rules.

[Earthquake]

I voted no, Even though I use the forum games I am so sick of downfall/jamie using it to increase hes post counts, He uses it as a way to argue with people, The forum games is just a spam forum for everyone it needs to be non-post count and if Jamies gonna leave the forum because hes post count goes to 5hundred I will do as much as I can in my power to make it happen.

[jesus]

LOL. all the ppl that WOULD get angry about it if it happened would probs post there more and spam the 'new posts' search thingy just to annoy peeps i reckon

@earthquake: lol ur such a joker

[Nixt]

Then they could turn off the search feature for that Forum, or ban the idiots that do it.

[N!ck]

Well i posted an idea a while back that the forum games section should be like the debates section where you cannot make a game yourself and have to "suggest" one in a stickied thread. A game can then be made if the suggestion is thought to be a suitable "non-spam" game.

[Earthquake]

Well you do that anyway and your completely annoying, people gave you time but now they've given up with you, grow up for once and get of the computer you've been here for the last 4 nights in a row without a break just sleeping, seriously you need to get out more. And tbh your doing it now, spamming this thread with useless comments to boost your post count, go wash your hair or something, do something social.

Please, don't tell me how I'm feeling, I really doubt that you know.

I'm not complaining because I want more posts than other people - I know plenty of people have many thousands more posts than me - it's because complete unknowns can do it and become someone who thinks they're important (such as eatcheese/downfall). If people stopped posting there simply because posts didn't count then that would prove the fact that it's all the area's used for, and thus further validates my point, whereas if posting continued as it is now, then I'd accept your point about it being someone "for fun" but it still wouldn't matter. Either way I'm right and it's a bad idea to have posts counting there.

Also if you post there "not to raise post count" as you say, then why are you bothering with this? I'm not saying to close down that area, I'm just saying that posting there shouldn't increase your post count.

[jackass]

No, its too late.

[jesus]

Then they could turn off the search feature for that Forum, or ban the idiots that do it.yer thats what i was thinking a while back for something else, cant remember if i posted it as a suggestion or not

[Scuzzy]

Im not saying that you're mad im saying that very few people post there to get thier post count up unlike me i post there because i want to/nothing else to post in So i think its dumthat pot counts shouildnt count just because a few people post there to raise post counts. So with like noone posting in the forum games i doubt there would be any new posts and this forum would sink into the ground, im not saying thats going to happen but its a possibility.

I do like this idea but the problem with it is people would just focus their spam on those threads, so it just won't be as spread out. Most Forum games, even if they are considered non-spam, hardly contribute to the Forum and are on the whole just pointless fun. That's why I think it would be better to just open a new Forum where post count doesn't rise and just Moderate that so the games are still slightly sensible but you don't have to worry too much about people spamming just to get a higher post count.

[Earthquake]

yer thats what i was thinking a while back for something else, cant remember if i posted it as a suggestion or not
Well your the only one who uses it :S

The spam forum and the VIP subforums don't increase post count, and they're still very popular. Spam is absolutely massive, and the Kl Krew Kamp thread in VIP is also pretty big/active, so I don't think this would be a problem. As I said before, if people stop posting in forum games simply because they don't get post count up, they're obviously sad people who we can do without anyway.

Oh wow im sorry am i like not allowed to take a stand for others. -.- If posts dont count there this forum wouldnt be doing to well so its either you have a good and active forum or a really crappy nearly dead one, choose. Im posting here because im sick of people like you trying to better your own self, its obvious you're just posting this because you are mad at other people getting higher post counts than you. I do agree that most people use the forum games to their advantae but people should do whatever they want and they dont need people like you telling them what to do.

[VPSwow]

I like Garions idea :)

[beth]

y'know, i haven't used this forum properly since like july. it's populated by what seems like idiots now.

fix up.

[jesus]

I like Garions idea :)same, it would keep everyone happy rather then the people who just seem to be against it

[Wizzdom]

In Garion's thread ---MAD--- voted NO, so I don't think this is going to far unfortunately.

I dont believe it is entirely Mad's decision, yes he will probably have the final decision. But it is what the members want, if they want something done about it, then Mad should consider doing something about it.

I agree with this, if i could, i would close/move quite a few threads.

Lmao! I am sorry but I am 120% sure Tom isn't doing this because he doesn't like people having a higher post count than him? He has a lot more respect from the majority of decent members of this Forum (the few that are left...) than the idiots who have a high post count because they spend all their time posting in Forum games rather than actually contributing to the Forum with decent posts, as FJ does.

[Yoshimitsui]

You have my support. All the pointless posts is getting really annoying. The games rules where changed so that they are constructive and require thought, but they are just pointless most of them.


I would say that 90% if not more of the members only play the games to increase their post count.

[FlyingJesus]

Refer to my post I just did, and also if you think forum games is what keeps HxF going you're much mistaken.

Well.. I'm not sure where you're going with that. You said you agree, so surely it's only fair that they aren't allowed to do so.

[Sammeth.]

I havent really read this thread cus I couldnt be bothered. However I read the first post. I dont think posts should increase in the games forum cus a lot of it is just random posts, related to the game but still just a few words or numbers.

So yeah, I voted no ;)

[beth]

scuzz = ******.

[jesus]

i think garion has had the best idea

perhaps he should put that forward

[Scuzzy]

You know what im shutting up because you obviously have no idea what im talking about.

[beth]

Who in the hell is talking to you, cause i sure aint.

I just think its stupid to not make posts count in there because of the very few people using it to their advantage. I do agree about spam forum and how posts should count there because there is more civilized communication there but this forum is fine without all the restrictions. There, im done talking so stop trying to prove me wrong because its my opinion and everyone has thier right to state what they think about it. That is all. Good Day. :)

[Earthquake]

Lool, Welcome back bethie.

I think everyone who has voted no should send this via PM to ---MAD--- maybe he will listen when he has the same PM's from every user contributed to this thread, those who voted yes should just leave now.

No-one's saying that posts should count in spam, I certainly don't think they should and don't care that they don't. I simply think it would be much fairer if all (potentially) pointless post areas had no post count to them. Also you are of course entitled to your opinion, but the fact that I've got good and rational arguments all the time against it surely shows something.

[le harry]

Yes, it's fine

[Scuzzy]

Im clearly stating my own opinion i dont think you wouldnt have known you werent going to get backtalk by posting this thread. I really dont care anymore because most people here already voted no. This thread wouldnt be any fun without someone disagreeing now would it? No need for all this -rep for saying whats on my mind.

Scuzzy, Just leave the thread, I've argued numerous times with 80% of the forum members, It doesn't get you know where and ruins your time on the forum, Move on to another thread, It will keep you from insulting/bullying recieving any infractions when you get put down again, Your opinion just seems a little harsh to be saying over, Maybe visit the Habbo section :)

[FlyingJesus]

Just for the record I haven't -repped anyone, I've +repped a few but I don't bother giving -

and yes I do expect people to agree because it's logical.

[jackass]

Well I used to agree with this motion. I even made a thread about it start of this year I think. But now, I think its too late really, because all the people who use the forums games section will lose hundreds of posts, and then if they have over 2500, it will mess there rep up, and when the reach that point again they will probaly get double and stuff.

Dunno, just my thoughts. (:

[le harry]

I don't mind the idea of moving it to a forum which is hidden and making a new forum which doesn't rise post counts.

[Energizer]

i know i'd lose loads of posts but i think it should be disabled yh so i voted no.

[FlyingJesus]

I don't mind the idea of moving it to a forum which is hidden and making a new forum which doesn't rise post counts.

surely thats just an admittal that the forum's used (or thus far been used) to increase post count? i got nothing personal against any of the people who i know have done so, but you must admit that its a bit sad trying to fast track a high post count or rep power by making use of a flaw in the forum

Well, to be honest most people rarely use it as a forum for "fun". But I think it's far too late to remove all posts in there. Thats 199,394 posts lost, there will be a **** load of complaints and everything. Just move it away and put a new one in to shut everyone up.

Ehh personally I think it would be hilarious to see who would actually complain about losing posts. I'd lose some myself but I'm not bothered (if I was I'd post outside of spam/VIP more often) and surely someone can see how funny it would be to suddenly remove a collective of nearly 200k posts from various users :D Garion's idea would work ofc but without the comedy factor of having people cry.

you?

its been put forward before but mad nulled iti thought someone said he said no to disabling post counts also :S

[FlyingJesus]

he says no to most things, he must be a BLUE MEANIE

if he said no to garions idea and you suggested he would say no again, hes equally as likely to say no to this one again.

Yeah but the issue is coming up again and again, so this thread is very valid because it shows that this issue needs to be dealt with.
By dealing with it, I don't mean better Moderation either before anyone says it. Because that's been the resolution the past 3 or 4 times it's been posted, it needs sorting properly now. Safe.

Yeah it's unfair.
You don't realy have to pust in any effort to post in that section and most of the posts that are in that section is spam.

I don't see why peoples post count bothers others so much. :S It's only posts afterall... Leave it as it is.

Exactly, it's only a number.

[Jamie!]

Aye, that's a good idea that..

I know it's in a totally different forum, but if they do hide the current games forum and make a new one where your post count doesn't rise, then they might aswell move the 'What are you listening to?' thread in the music section there too as it's just the same as some of the game threads.

Aye, that's a good idea that..

I know it's in a totally different forum, but if they do hide the current games forum and make a new one where your post count doesn't rise, then they might aswell move the 'What are you listening to?' thread in the music section there too as it's just the same as some of the game threads.

Fairly good point except it has a purpose other than just a game, for example I occasionally look through it randomly to see if there is a song I like and discussions about songs often go on within the thread while people are posting what they are listening to. The pointless game threads are often just posting a number, or a few letters, sometimes at most a word :P.

[--ss--]

Post counts should be disabled seeing as you will always a post after another every secound in that section and most of the posts mean nothing and just contain a simple word/phrase.

yes and no.
yes - easy way for posts
no - downfall earned like 5,000 in two days

[benjamin]

i used to play forum games all the time like a year or 2 ago when i was mega bored, i would loose bare posts :D

but yeah i really agree it should be changed.

[Mrchins]

I know this is like a week or so old now, but it would be nice to have some feedback on what the verdict is on this. As can be seen from the poll, 60% (at time of posting) have expressed the view that the forum games section should not up post counts, including a fair amount of staff members. Just seems a bit of a brush-off that we have this area of the forum and even with positive results nothing is even said by the powers that be.

[Catzsy]

Could somebody express an opinion on this please? :)

[beth]

yeah would be nice to see some actual input from the higher people of this forum.

if they've got time to deal with their complaints forum, they have time to deal with here. end of.

[Catzsy]

Perhaps they should give tickets out like at the Asda Deli so they would see who was first to be served. :D Poor Tom has had his ticket since last week!

[Sammeth.]

They should have one of those signs like they do in long queues. "You are...6 weeks...away from getting a reply"

[Catzsy]

Yes then get a megaphone saying - Flying Jesus your time for this topic has expired please go back to the end of the queue. Seriously though its not funny and the members waiting must feel seriously undervalued looking at some of the silly comments posted in the complaints forum and dealt with immediately almost.

[reindeer.]

it's not unfair, if you wanted to you could go and post there if you want. and there is an element of fun, I don't think it's more pointless than spam.
anyway, it's been like this for eternity, what's so different about it now to 6 months ago?

yeah but there'd still be an element of fun if post-count was removed from it.
surely the fun's not in being like "lolz, i just gained 10 posts from this thread"?

No but spam don't get post counts :)

[Beau]

TBH, I think having post counts reflecting posts in the 'Forum Games' section is kinda ridiculous. You're basically judged on any forum by your post count. If someone's got a low post count, someone tends to think they're not as important as someone who has a higher post count. Because of this, I think they shouldn't be included from the Forums Games, as someone with a high post count could have just posted a thousand times in the games section, therefore giving a false impression.

the first post says the forum games are pointless.

[GommeInc]

What about moving it to the spam section and having a redirect forum link (like the rules link on the main forum) that leads straight to it?

[FlyingJesus]

Wow.. and still no reply. This is ridiculous, a thread with a valid point and they don't take notice.

@padraig, I did not say that the forum games are pointless, I simply said they don't contribute anything of value to the forum and so should not increase post counts, same as spam.

[Catzsy]

Paste in the complaints section, Tom. Thats what I am going to do when my poll has finished. It is said you are guaranteed an answer there:S

You are not 100% guaranteed a response however we will try to respond to all of them where possible :).

Fact remains that there will be other places where these type of posts can be made such as welcome forum, achievements in the rs forum etc. In the end it might just be better to disable post count full stop if it causes all the fuss? Members will always find a place to post things to get post count quickly or might increase spam in discussion threads themselves. I think most people would rather have them stay in the games forum than go into discussions and post simply answers that don't help the thread/discussion.

Post count shouldn't be seen as a big deal, its simply a counter to show how much that member has posted, nothing more.

People take post count more than a 'counter', why don't you just disable it then you won't really have many complaints?

Apart from reputation

[joshuar]

People are proud of their post counts, if we took that away then nobody would be happy, causing even more complaints. I always thought that the Forum Games section shouldn't have a Post Count as it is just people going "Let's play the 1,2,3 game". Where they are literally counting how many replies a thread has, which the forum does for you :S

I am for removing it, but then loads of people will complain, but I think tuff really, as it's been spammed for ages.

Maybe move all spam games to the spam forum?

It seems nvrspk4 plans to reply to all complaints from that post but all AGMs do not have to reply, thats for sure.

I'll make a new poll in the forum feedback forum and see what people think and then come to a decision :).

[Catzsy]

So when you said in the announcement that everyone posting in the complaints forum could expect a reply you didn't mean it then?

http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=415289


If thats the case what is the point of having one?

[FlyingJesus]

I agree that there will still be some pointless spam and stuff through other areas of the forum, but whereas forum games is continuous (ie: you can post however many replies you want to however many games you want) stuff like the welcome threads, to use your example, is generally limited to one reply per new member, not much of a problem.

[GoldenMerc]

If it does im going to lose something like 500 posts :[

[Catzsy]

Well at least you got some meaningful action on this thread at last, Tom :D

[Galaxay1]

Ross; if its moved / hidden you wont lost your post count :)

[GoldenMerc]

o yayz
Thats kl but i dont use it no more cos i knew this would happen tbh

[le harry]

Finally a response...

However if you actually are going to move the forum games to spam, then atleast remove every other thead that is considered spam.. (What are you listening to, there are more i cant remember lol)
