It wouldn't be pointless, they would just be posting for the sake of it. If they're not interested in the forum they're posting in at all then the post would be a waste of space.

How would you know they are posting for the sake of it? If their post contributes, it isn't pointless. Infact, most of the times posts on the forum go un-noticed and don't get replied to anyway. It won't be much different. Not all posts would be pointless after the remove of the post count limit, they'll only be pointless if they do literally serve no point.

it's hardly spamming? we're staying on topic by posting what we are listening to.

Jesus is habboxforums biggest spammer. Most posts on the whole of the forum. Ever wondered why he has disabled his reputation points thing? Obviously because everyone -reps him for all his pointless posts.

It serves no real purpose though init and is clearly just a way to gain post count. It's not constructive posting by a long shot

I don't really have a problem with posting songs, thought it is a way to boost post count, but people like jesus posting TV shows really take the piss.

Spam would be considered pointless however their messages are to the point. I think the forum games place should never have post count enabled from the start that it was formed, it's a junkies paradise for someone who just wants to boost their post counts up a lot, to get features. Tbh, I've probably got a good 500-600 in the Forum Games place & I wouldn't care if I lost them, since it is just post count and I won't lose the features which I have posted meaningful threads/comments for.

Fully for it, always have been.

Im sure in the "What are you.."

Listening too
Watching..
Eating..
Wearing..

You can earn like 100 posts a day from them threads, specially the listening too / watching. Its never dead.

Best way to combat the problem is to move all threads like this, into the Spam section under a sub-forum called "What are you.." since that is basically how they all start out. Forum games can also be put into this, and the topic can simply be moved into the Spam Forum.

No global permissions need to be changed which is the big hassle which might've stopped HabboxForum from making these changes. It's pretty damn simple, a ten-minute job tops.
