Why are you treating post count as some sort of magical money-making resource? It merely counts how many posts you have made, so why would you disable it for a random forum?
Makes no sense whatsoever.

Oh yes, of course, having the entire forum post all day in the Welcome forum would be OHHH so much better :rolleyes:.Quote:

I'm under the impression that it was meant to stop bots or whatever they're called. Naturally members will want to get out of the 5 post rule as soon as possible and we shouldn't be making it harder for them!Quote:

I say disable it. A majority of people who post in there do it to increase their post count.
You would think that wouldn't you, the fact is that people see that forum as a quick way to get their post counts up, whereas other topics take time and thought to put in a proper reply - which a lot of people don't have the time or interest to do.Quote:

Post count should represent posts made which actually contribute to discussions. Proper discussions. They show how active a user is. I find it hard to explain, but it shows how much people contribute to GOOD (discussions etc) threads. There are people who only post in the Welcome forum to get their post count up so they look good.
So there you are admitting that people only post in the Welcome Forum to get their post count up?Quote:

I don't mind people saying hello to the new user, but they should be positive about it and not just upping post count.
Might aswell not have a post count.
Under what logic? Under yours you may aswell reinstate spam and forum games as post count risers.Quote:
