Post counts from "forum games" section

[Catzsy]

it's not unfair, if you wanted to you could go and post there if you want. and there is an element of fun, I don't think it's more pointless than spam.

No but spam don't get post counts

TBH, I think having post counts reflecting posts in the 'Forum Games' section is kinda ridiculous. You're basically judged on any forum by your post count. If someone's got a low post count, someone tends to think they're not as important as someone who has a higher post count. Because of this, I think they shouldn't be included from the Forums Games, as someone with a high post count could have just posted a thousand times in the games section, therefore giving a false impression.

yeah but there'd still be an element of fun if post-count was removed from it.
surely the fun's not in being like "lolz, i just gained 10 posts from this thread"?

the first post says the forum games are pointless.

What about moving it to the spam section and having a redirect forum link (like the rules link on the main forum) that leads straight to it?

Wow.. and still no reply. This is ridiculous, a thread with a valid point and they don't take notice.

@padraig, I did not say that the forum games are pointless, I simply said they don't contribute anything of value to the forum and so should not increase post counts, same as spam.

You are not 100% guaranteed a response however we will try to respond to all of them where possible .

Fact remains that there will be other places where these type of posts can be made such as welcome forum, achievements in the rs forum etc. In the end it might just be better to disable post count full stop if it causes all the fuss? Members will always find a place to post things to get post count quickly or might increase spam in discussion threads themselves. I think most people would rather have them stay in the games forum than go into discussions and post simply answers that don't help the thread/discussion.

Post count shouldn't be seen as a big deal, its simply a counter to show how much that member has posted, nothing more.

People take post count more than a 'counter', why don't you just disable it then you won't really have many complaints?

Apart from reputation

People are proud of their post counts, if we took that away then nobody would be happy, causing even more complaints. I always thought that the Forum Games section shouldn't have a Post Count as it is just people going "Let's play the 1,2,3 game". Where they are literally counting how many replies a thread has, which the forum does for you :S

I am for removing it, but then loads of people will complain, but I think tuff really, as it's been spammed for ages.

Maybe move all spam games to the spam forum?
