I don't understand how you think being able to see a spam post count will lead to people being "lick arses". I can't see it like that when it shows peoples normal post counts and I don't think it will change. Personally I think it would be quite a good addition to the forum and clearly other people do too, David is going to look into see if it is possible!

In reply to FJ, it is of course not there to be anything serious etc - and yeah, I think it could be a little bit of fun for the spam community.

It clearly is if you're making a thread in feedback almost every day trying to change something :S

Look at people like FJ, gnome and neversoft everyone wipes their arses for them to be fair. They're sound but get treated like goddesses.

Richie you're suggesting that this would promote sycophancy as people will be like "ooh big post count" and love up to those people, right? Try actually looking at the conversations on the forum some time. People don't do that even with the normal post counts (brb counting all my really close hxf friends..) so why would it ever occur with a spam count? This theory of yours is also flawed in that if someone has an abnormally high amount of posts in spam, they're already going to be the well-known ones in the community anyway so the number will make no difference to newcomers. Making useless conjecture with absolutely no base is not of any value in feedback

lmao since when was this?! (and lol gnome)

I'm respected because I'm amazing and everything I say is right and logical, not because there's a big number next to my name. I've had the reputation long before the post count and I can certainly say the same goes for Chirs and Ryan. That said, I don't notice anyone giving me a rim for anything other than being hilarious

Yeah but that's because they're respected for having such a big postcount/rep/join date, I can't see this causing more lick arse. Even if it does, that's not our problem - it's theirs!

I'd say it's more because they have been around a lot longer and got to know a lot more people I wouldn't say it was arse licking more the fact that more people know them because they have been around the longest.

Firstly, considering I think you have made more threads in feedback this month trying to CHANGE something than I have, I would suggest you go back to your little corner now. Secondly, FJ doesn't have a huge post count? I think it might have SOMETHING to do with the '40' on his rep power xxx Also, as sct said they have been here for a long time. So obviously they will be known by more and if people like them, they will be friendly towards them.

I don't give a ****e if it's implemented or not, I'm just saying I personally think it's going to be crap. Just wait until it's implemented and watch your flute hit ya in the face.

lol i don't think i've ever seen people do that. people like those three because of what they contribute to the forum, not because of their post count or whatever :S

**FlyingJesus** · 31-05-2011, 02:13 PM

I don't even have a flute what is this

ykno like post count: 8000
spam post count: separate figure

oh ok so you do get what I meant, they do relate but they're totally different to this :s

oops
