So that is currently set at 0 people?

Then report it for double posting?

AndI agree @The Don; - I don't think Cameron, Jen post in their to abuse the system, so surely they wouldn't have a problem if they don't get post count for it?

What are they losing out on if the thread gets moved?

You're thinking about this wrong, you are the one advocating change and it is therefore your duty to provide an argument as to why. Saying "Well why would it matter to them if it changed?" is besides the point, Why SHOULD it change?

And forum games is considerably less active than before.

My point exactly

The motive for people posting in threads is irrelevant and besides the point

No, it's the entire point

and not everybody posting in those threads will fall into the same category. I very much doubt people such as cameron, dan, jen etc post in those threads to cheat the system and get extra tokens or whatever else

And if they don't care about such things then removing the post count won't affect them and we'll still have the activity

that's not me denying that a very small minority do post in there to get extra tokens etc but again, that doesn't affect anybody else in a negative way.

If it's a very small minority doing it for that reason then (again) the activity will surely remain if post count is rightly disabled in non-discussive threads, since "a very small minority" won't be missed from them

Well it's extremely tedious to rack up a large amount of posts in those threads

Not really when it's people who come on the forum for a couple of minutes then go off again for a few hours right away

and if people were that hellbent on getting their post count up to receive extra tokens or whatever else they gain from it, they would just go to new posts and reply to the last so many threads with generic answers

Which people also do

Why SHOULD it change?

What have you really not read the thread at all

[Kardan]

@The Don; - could you link me to where I said we should remove 'Discuss Anything' - I don't remember saying that.
@mrwoooooooo; - Looks like you like to complain about crap threads as well

This thread has people alternate posting, so there isn't a rule of 'You should wait until X people have posted'

Umm... this whole thread?
People are boosting for post count, and not taking part in other discussions around the forum. Boosting for post count means boosting for tokens which results in a loss of credits for Habbox which could be better spent elsewhere, or a loss in VIP (Also the 100 posts = VIP thing), which means less people need to buy VIP/Donator, resulting in less money for Habbox.

Also, the rules are simply inconsistent. It's okay to post 'News' in what you're watching, but you can make a longer post somewhere else on the forum which is part of a discussion and get warned for a 'pointless post'. It's illogical.

[The Don]

My point exactly

So you want to reduce activity even more?

No, it's the entire point

It isn't because the result is the same regardless of the motive.

And if they don't care about such things then removing the post count won't affect them and we'll still have the activity

But as we've clarified some people do care about it which will reduce the activity.

If it's a very small minority doing it for that reason then (again) the activity will surely remain if post count is rightly disabled in non-discussive threads, since "a very small minority" won't be missed from them

Depends how it's done, if they are all moved to spam or a specific sub forum then activity will die regardless because they will be buried out of the way. Unless they are kept where they are with the post counts disabled for those particular threads.

Not really when it's people who come on the forum for a couple of minutes then go off again for a few hours right away

I think you're generalising a bit, but again, shockwave popping on for his daily 'Post what you're listening to' post doesn't affect you in the slightest, you have lost anything from him doing so.

Which people also do

So the problem is going to persist with or without these threads, should we then remove post count from the entire forum to prevent people doing so?

What have you really not read the thread at all

Nice, taking a quote out of context...

[Charz777]

I hope you all realise that once Aiden has got it out of his system ranting and proving points on here, I get to listen to the whole rant again IRL

Please don't wind him up

I won't lose anything if Phil decides to give Bolt660 100,000 tokens and free VIP for life, but I'd still complain about it

I get that you're big on things being logical but this is a habbo forum, with the rules written by people ranging from as young as 15 and up so it's ridiculous to expect a perfect ruleset. If people are boosting for post count they are not going to take part in other discussions with or without these threads, so all you're doing is discouraging people who don't break the rules from posting in those threads. Clearly your argument isn't about credits or one over concern for habbox when you were arguing the exact same thing before the credits system was introduced, so don't try and act as if your reason has any more substance to it than besides things being inconsistent.

so we move these threads to spam gr8

ppl can still post if they r so eager to tell us wat they r wearing and the spammers will stop being rewarded for their spam perfect

[-:Undertaker:-]

If people are posting to get their post count up then good, we need more posting around the forum.

Can people stop getting jealous over others post counts? It's so boring. If you fear other people overtaking your post count then here's a revolutionary idea: post more yourself. If not, shh.

People will still spam the newposts so all you've done is discourage those who don't care about tokens from posting in those threads.
