    Agreed. However, on that note, I thought it was already introduced? I can see many members who do it for post count, but in actual fact, they actually aren't being reminded. I know it is posted in there, however surely you should be reminding them? I'm not up for removing post count, but I am up for constructive posts only.

    No it won't, if they want to use different parts of the forum they will. Why would they immediately sit and rot in the Welcome Forum not taking any notice of the other forums all because of a post count? You can pointless post under the radar in other forums? And surely removing the post count would make people not post in a welcome forum, therefore suggesting you don't want to be welcoming?

    As said before by MattGarner, the congratulations forum hasn't got post count enabled and we still get threads in there, so I guess we'd still get posts in the welcome forum, however if people wanted to increase their post count they'd have to find another way to do it.

    Afterall if they then go and spam other places to boost their post count, they'll lose all the posts so it won't be beneficial in the end.

    So why is post count a big deal? And from what I'm reading in the Welcome forums, none of the posts are spam so far - they're all on topic, welcoming and welcoming back members. This just seems like a typical "HxF members do not know what words mean" discussion, that's two words vitally needed for the HxF Dictionary; Spam and Argument

    It wouldnt encourage members to post elsewhere, it would just discourage them from welcoming people. It's a post, even if it only says welcome hope you stay active or whatever, i don't see why it wouldnt count.

    I didn't read every post in this thread because it is LONG and around half way through the argument seemed to be repeating itself. It is my personal opinion that this change would achieve very little. Although I can see the reasoning behind it I don't think it will do much to increase activity in other forums if I am honest. I don't see the harm in leaving it as it is. People look for more leniency but if we cracked down hardcore on posts in that forum we would get a lot of pissed off members. It is still up for discussion though.

    I was going to post in this later on after the Wolves game, but now that Garion has cleared it up I don't see the need to.

    Thank you Garion, for having common sense.

    The rule change would do nothing at all, if anything it'd quieten the forum down.

That's why it's an issue now, why it's been an issue in the past and why it will always be an issue in some way, especially when people can (and certainly have in the past) abuse that illusion of authority.
    I wouldn't judge someone on the amount of posts they have, but on what their posts consist of. Maybe that's just me though. Giving two contrasting examples, someone like you, as well as many others on this forum, has a lot of posts, yet most of the time, from what I've seen, you obviously put some effort into the posts, and the end result is a respectable post. But some others, I won't name and shame people, have a hell of a lot of posts too, but with that, the content of their posts are quite awful, and are usually badly thought out, extremely short posts.

Tbh this isn't the first time I've heard people in the moderation department say "ooh we've been told to do things differently" or "there's a new policy which means we will/won't edit for xyz" and tbh its confusing the hell out of me! if there's a big enough policy change that will affect the way the forum is moderated, shouldn't it be announced so everyone knows what it is? Because atm we're seeing wildy inconsistent moderating (as evidenced by some of the threads in this forum) and lots of secret BTS policy changes and nothing make sense and my brain hurts
