Or, here's a strange suggestion;

Get rid of post count all together. It would solve MANY problems on here. This is a stupid idea by the way as Sports/Hosting games should be in Sports/Hosting sections.

Then we would essentially making the whole Forum a spam forum. Not a very good idea .

So forum moderators would not be doing their jobs, would they? There's a ban and infraction buttons for such offences. If implemented correctly, it would be great and solve many problems. The higher management just can't probably see how moderators should do their jobs and hire more active moderators.

ridiculus, first everyone getn band now this.

only certain people like sports. everybody likes stuff like music. Just leave it in the Sports forum.

you're worried about people increasing their post counts when it's clear that people are using the "What are you listening to" thread to increase post counts. If the music forum can have a place to increase post counts easily, why can't every other forum. It was a pictionary thread. It'll die out soon.

That could be argued for any type of forum game, there are one's about music that are in the forum games section and not the music section. Like I said before it being moved isn't preventing people from posting in it.

Thanks for killing the thread- nobody will use it now. Who cares if it's a game... it's sports related.

I don't know why MODs get so up tight about this sort of stuff. If it's not broken don't fix it. Nobody in the sports 'game' thread was spamming, everybody was participating properly. It wasn't harming anyone where it was. I'm sure you still wouldn't have been fired from your 'job' as a 'DJ' (if you wanna call it that) if you left it in the first place.

Garion it wouldn't be spam because unlike every thread in every other section (which gets away spam) people were abiding to the rules and playing properly. People were only posting relevant, on-topic stuff. Not spam to me.

If you had any idea and visited other forums (you guys could learn a thing or two) you would have noticed that removing post counts stops spamming and and annihilates the idiots who post for the sake of it.

The thread has not been violated in anyway so regardless of what you think, it should be where it can get the widest audience (sports fans) and where users can get the most enjoyment out of it (sports section). At the end of the day, this forum is a product and you should be delivering it to meet the users' needs.

what about these threads?

Although I am a moderator I do have some sympathy with this point of view.
The thread was sports related and quite an effort had to be made to post in it
so it was not made to boost post counts which was one of the original decisions to have a forum games section. I think every thread should be treated on its merits. This one was quite well thought out and quite original.

Sierk used to be quite flexible about posting and moving of threads but I can't find the direction about it.

Obviously I have to moderate as to the present rules but maybe a compromise could be to put a stickied link to it in the sports section so they can find it easily although I do see that it is being used.

The first bit, it was moved because all other threads like that belong in the forum games section, it being a forum game. The second bit, what lol? :S

They can be moved to spam

I mean what the hell is going on here?

Look at the threads in "Forum Games", and look at the two threads he mentioned.. they are totally different.

Why? Because the Web Host and Sports games were not Forum Games. They didn't invite the entire forum, who didn't have a single clue what was going on, to post in them.

Now that they are in forum games, any randomer who is going to post what lovely song he is listening to (that's a Forum Game), now has better chance to post something random and stupid in a thread that is logical and meant forthe Web Host section.

Why? because it deals with Web Hosting (as that is what that part of the forum is for..) and Web Hosting people (not some randomer who is going to post what song he is listening to!).

I mean do you not see the logic in it? Just because it is a game, does not denote it to be a forum-wide game, as "Post what song you are listening to" is, that's a forum game.

Not something that is logical and has been thought out for a specific audience.

It's like putting Newcastle football club in Wales.

It's a niche section of the community and the only way people are going to use the game is if it is in the right area.
