I think what annoys people (and by people I mean me) about the way you debate is that you put your argument across as if its fact, when it isn't. You don't know it will not make people post in other areas, as its never been done before so none of us know.

Why do you have reason to believe it might? - and more to the point, when the forum is struggling with numbers you do not go and potentially harm it (shoot yourself in the foot). Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill.

Its a start for new members to build it up.

The user can spam their way out of post moderating
Why on earth should people have their post count increase for writing "Welcome to HabboxForum <insert username here>, I hope you enjoy this community" in every thread in there. I can understand welcoming people but not for post count...

It's only a post count, why do you care so much?

If people wanna build post count up, let them get on with it? It isn't going to stop you sleeping at night.. or is it?

Under your reckoning Spam should have post count. :rolleyes:
You must wonder why a ranking system is in place as well.. oh what a sheltered life.

If they want that higher post count, what do you imagine they would have to do? Hint: the answer is post elsewhere.

Evidence is in the name dear ;)

Welcome Forum - To Welcome new members, therefore it has a point.
Spam Forum - Discussions that don't necessarily have a point and they do not need to keep to a specific target or discussion and can be a complete mess if need be.

Removing the post count in the Welcome Forum is pointless, especially when there aren't that many threads in that forum to 'pointlessly' say "Welcome" in, despite the fact that alot of the posts are on-topic and welcoming. I fail to see your point that the Welcome Forum is a spam forum? :/

EDIT: Digging deeper, each Bronze Star is 100 posts in that forum, good luck to anyone attempting to gain 100 posts in that forum to gain each individual bronze star, they'd be dead by the end of the year attempting such a devilish feat. :P

The reasons I think it might is because if they can't post there to increase their post count they will post elsewhere on the forum to get their post count up. If they bothered enough to register one would assume they want to keep posting so will try their best to make sure they get through the newly registered member stage. But thats not to say it definately will. Thats why I have reason to beleive this, just like you have reasons to beleive what you beleive. The point I was actually making is that you state your opinion like its fact, when it isn't fact. You really annoy me. Thats a fact.

Yeah cus thats what I said....

For the love of God :rolleyes:. You were responding to Dan's comment which stated that you can't make people post elsewhere. His post was a reply to a comment saying making this change will make people post elsewhere. You were defending this point so by definition you also said it.
