Post Count

[le harry]

There was a suggestion that post counts in spam could be enabled for a couple of days just to see how high everybodies post counts were, I still think that would be pretty cool.

Would kill the point in why the Spam section was introduced, was created to reduce all the "I am going to sleep now" threads from the Discuss anything section lol.

Agreed.

I don't think that posts counts should increase in the spam section, however... as things are at the moment it should, seeing as posts count in the forum games section (which is practically spam.. nobody 'plays' them for fun...)

We shouldn't get post count for spam because you can double post and post pointlessly but I don't see no reason why posting in staff forums doesn't add to post count. :S

Because we shouldn't get the privilidge of a higher post count just for doing our jobs. Idk what the official line is but that's what I think anyway. If post count in the staff forums counted I'd probably have over 10k posts now

Other people have pretty much summed up why post count doesnt increase in spam. It'd just become a second "discuss anything" forum that got moderated properly, I somehow got the impression people kinda enjoyed the slightly more relaxed moderating in the staff forum

It would be nice to get some privilidges for doing our job though.

hide post count full stop

I agree.
People use post count as a derogative to other members. The ranks can still be used.

As far as post count in the staff forums, we allow spamming in the staff forums and double posting and all. Thus the aim is for a more relaxed atmosphere in the staff forums. Additionally this is to prevent people from staying cooped up on the staff forum and never posting in the public forum.

That would be fun.

Post counts shouldn't rise in Spam, hence why it's called Spam.
