Hey x
I thought this might be favoured by those who post in spam a lot, but I may be wrong!
Would it be possible to have a 'post count' in Spam, but it shows up as a 'Spam Post Count' rather than Post Count'? It could only show up in Spam - a bit like Runescape names only show up in the runescape section.
Just wondering..
Not a bad idea, would be interesting to see how many posts people have actually made in spam. ^_^ +Rep
This is actually a really good idea (I didn't know Runescape name only showed up in the Runescape section, haha! :P). I've always thought the Spam section should get some form of recognition for contribution there because there is actually decent discussion in there most of the time. As I mentioned in a thread a few weeks ago; I'd much rather discuss how someones day is going in Spam as opposed to talking to a brick wall and notifying people of the current song I'm listening to... :rolleyes:.
I'm quite liking this idea too! +rep
they've mentioned somewhere before why they're too lazy to... i mean why they can't/don't wanna do this
but yeh it'd be cool
The math for doing this would be extremely weird, I'm not at all sure this is possible because the plugin to do it would need to look into posting posts, threads, merging them, moving them, deleting (though nobody's supposed to do that). When I get home from class today I'll look into seeing if it's possible, though. I think this is a great idea and Scott does as well!
would make your regular post count completely pointless, just do an advanced search in the spam forum, simple. i don't want pointless things cluttering up my profile when im posting.
Runescape names don't show up in the runescape section, do they? They don't for me! Perhaps that could be implemented too :p
I love this idea, and if it's possible then I think it should be done. Spam is one of the most popular areas of the forum, home of many forum members etc.
I think as long as it's seperate from main post count, it will be a great addition for those who want to know how much of their life they have spent in spam! :P
I know I'd have something like 8k posts if spam counted but I'd love to see the real number so I like this idea yes please woo
it'll be way more than that considering I got over 1,000 posts in one week when we used to do board reader lol n that was mostly from spam...Quote:

and jen that boardreader carried on from the prev month too alot so it's probs around 400-500 a week
Sounds like a lovely suggestion and although I never go in spam, I think this would be a great idea.
I want this please! Would be good to see.
As long as no one is stupid enough to base rep power off it instead of normal post count...

I like this idea a lot, I'm genuinely curious how many posts I have in spam.
Thats what i was thinking.Quote:

I think it's meant to, it was probably broken on the vb4 transition.Quote:

I dont think it will considering there are no prizes for having the most overall and the people who will have the highest have done it without ever being able to see how much they've had before... if that makes senseQuote:

Obviously it isn't essential or anything, but as I think it was Alex said, there is some genuinely good discussion, the post count wouldn't need to be taken really seriously (in fact, I would be against that happening), and I wouldn't want any new rules coming in changing spam as it is now.
You could somehow remove your normal post count while in the spam forum and replace it with a spam post coount meaning that it wouldn't take up any extra room?
Na I get what ya mean but new people will come spam actually spammingQuote:

lol nah doubt it I have the best posts but probably not the most in spam, even with 5.5k from KKK. You underestimate the combined count of people like Richie who reply to everything and anything :PQuote:

Stories of people like Kyle will forever haunt HxF hahaQuote:

It shouldn't do really, although I can see your concern.Quote:

Just a thought, although as I say, I can see where you are coming from.
I agree, I don't think post count would turn it into a popularity thing. Just look at me, I haven't even got 4k posts and I'm treated like a goddess lalalalala
I'm talking about people who currently have tones of posts will be arse licked by new members. Either way it'll be ****e 'cause spam really will be spam. I don't really give a **** though I'm just giving my opinion, it's going to turn into spam central, literally.Quote:

Tbf I am scared to -rep you in case of the horror of it being returned. Only joking.Quote:

Someone needs to take a chill. I am dreadfully sorry for suggesting things which I think would be a nice addition. Please forgive me :rolleyes:Quote:

i think it's a good idea, but idk something doesn't seem right about it. i can see people comparing their posts for a while, but after that, i doubt anyone would really care about who has the highest post count in spam or whatever.
Apology accepted.Quote:

Oh and this has been mentioned loads of times I wonder why it hasn't been implemented :rolleyes:
I personally don't think there's much point to it and so I agree with this post. It will just take away from the normal post count and discourage non spam threads.Quote:

The difference is my suggestion doesn't create lick arses and yeah it has.Quote:

I personally love these two posts, although these where about raising your original post it still relates.
