Why is there...

@FlyingJesus; (sorry if it wasn't you) pointed out that the majority of users had a very high post count in those threads which could hint towards them only voting for that option to keep their post count.

My honest opinion about it all: I don't care if they have post count or not, Forum Management only changed it because of the users.

AKA the only vocal ones (tom, scott etc) ignoring the silent majority

There is no reason to be silent.

Only changed it because scott through his toys out of the pram**

i didn't see anyone else in that thread disagree apart from him, he even went as far to ruin the other threads to make a point and make sure they were moved also...

I will also like to add on that it's taken two weeks for a thread to be mentioned about this. Do people really care that much? I know Gomme spoke to me about it on my profile and then started discussion how the userbase doesn't take such threads well compared to others.

I have a high post count as did GommeInc (who I think backed our side) and others, yet we can hardly be accused of wanting to higher our post counts because we don't post that often and when we do, our posts often contain substance in them.

I rejected the proposals because I think people ought to be free to post in which manner they see fit - and if I am overtaken in the post count rankings then so what? assumptions that I and others are wanting to protect or increase my post count are just that, cheap assumptions.

The majority of users rejected the proposal.

Why is everything on this forum made into a big deal? Members haven't lost any post count from the previous threads but will no longer gain anymore. This has made it fair on those who wanted to keep their posts but has also made it fair on those who believe they were abusing the threads for that reason.

I decided to trial it and so far so good.

most people don't care enough to argue about it but the fact that more people voted no obviously means that's what majority of people wanted

Scott brought up the argument other threads are the same as the images one. Then If I remember correctly the users who actually posted that thread also said they don't like the other threads either.

Then that means it isn't a problem surely?

A high post count in the threads that are in that sub-forum? Not a a high post count in general.

Because a poll was held, the majority rejected the proposal and it was ignored.

I find the fact the poll has been completely ignored much more irritating than the proposal itself.

The final decision lies with us. We wont be running anymore polls for feedback if it's going to cause issues like this because it seems that someone is always going to moan regardless.
