I don't see why this would need it's own forum, it basically is just spam. Well it's more like spam than 95% of posts in spam.
Because putting it in spam would give people the right to derail the thread, but I totally agree, these threads are more spam than the spam forum.Quote:

If users feel important and feel as if they're an integral part of the forum then it should be encourage as opposed to discouraged.
enable post count in spam just to troll everyone tbh
I wouldn't be against this if this poll failed, I mean, you either make post count mean something, or nothing - not somewhere inbetween :PQuote:

All the people that spend their time in the threads concerned found the poll because it got advertised :PQuote:

@GommeInc @edible and all the others who asked why does post count matter, there are more than enough posts in here to show it does to some people. I started quoting them but then I got lazy. Just saying.
Also many of the people who are saying why bother care about post count. Whether that means that it should be changed, I don't know, but even though I could give two..errr...about post count its not true for every member of the forum, which is why it matters to discuss. I also think the mentality that "nobody should lose post count" is quite interesting. It's the same as "nobody should have good rep removed" and "if ranks are adjusted nobody should go down".
I wonder what the poll outcome would have been if "Don't care" was an option. I think the thread was originally intended for those who did care to vote but that may have changed after it was advertised :)
Indeed, but we know that having your post count rise is an incentive for people to post - and it works. Even i'm not exactly bothered about post count yet I know myself that if the post is counted i'm just more likely to post.Quote:
