Get rid of post your... junk threads

[Stephen]

too.. many.. posts......... cba to read

post your threads are pointless but post count and rep are sooo last century

[Kardan]

If you want that then post more interesting threads to spark some discussion..... stop relying on others to do it for you and even more so - stop trying to penalise people who aren't interested in super heavy discussions.

I think a lot of you seem to forget that out of us lot, we are now in our twenties: younger forum members aren't interested in heavy discussions, they just want a place to be a bit silly/something that suits their age range. This is a Habbo Hotel forum, not a forum for people in their twenties or an academic platform.

Then shouldn't we enable post count in forum games and spam as well? Is that not penalising the people that only feel like posting in those areas of the forum?

Also, having a quick look through the 'What are you watching?' we're getting posts such as:

TV Show Episode 28

TV Show Episode 29

TV Show Episode 30


How is that any different to 'Count to 100 before a MOD posts', which doesn't have post count enabled?

[Yawn]

the spammers dont post outside of these threads because they dont have to...they just post over and over in the same thread and boost their tokens and post count. like....they NEVER post outside of these threads. just look at the breakdown of their postcounts on the first page

if shockerz is no longer able to endlessly spam these threads for postcount surely he will post where he can get postcount, and those posts are going to have be more meaningful and promote discussion, if he spams the other threads he will be warned for spamming/pointless posting (as he has been recently for posting "congratzz" like 20 times in a row in 20 different congrats threads - look at his vms)

anyway will check back later xx

As I recall, Dan does believe that spam should have a post count too

I wouldn't have a problem with that.

Sure, i'd sink right down the post count rankings as would you..... but so what?

[Kardan]

Wow, even forum mods are doing it:

You cannot deny Derrener's 2nd post on that page is purely for post count.

I would sink so far down as my spam count is pretty low compared to others, and likewise for forum games (Although the Mole might raise that, I don't know).

But you're right, so what. I couldn't care less what happens to my post count, it's just annoying that the forum is inconsistent. I could make a comment on a Current Affairs that doesn't relate to the OP, but creates discussion and that is considered a 'Pointless Post', but saying 'Jeremy Kyle' over and over again isn't pointless and generates no discussion.

BUT IF THEY MOVE SOMEWHERE HOW WILL ANYONE EVER FIND THEM!!!!!! because new posts and activity stream are never used and it's really difficult to find anything new as proved by how Draw My Thing totally has no-one involved

and I do post threads that spark discussion. I also post posts that spark discussion

Lol, you're still yet to give a reason as to how someone getting additional tokens from posting in a thread which you're quite perfectly capable of posting in yourself somehow is a problem. Yes, they get tokens quicker, more for them. The only issue I can think of that actually affects you is having to see them in the forum index. Removing the threads won't spark an increase in the quality of posts, all it will do is deter those users who could potentially become stronger contributors in the future from posting. Preventing people from posting what they are currently listening to isn't going to add more quality posts to the forum, it will just remove the ones you deem unworthy.

Once again, moving the threads or disabling post count there/enabling post count everywhere does not prevent people posting.

Faster rate of token gain means a faster rate in which Habbox loses VIP/Credits, as explained before.
