Forum Games Board - Stop post count rising?

[bo$$]

I seem to remember it needed to be over twice as many no votes as yes to pass. That has 46 yes, 28 no. 46/2=23, so too many people voted no.

Ahh I hear what you're saying. Even at that though, it's extremely close to being a "Get rid of the post counts" decision which shows that most of the forum wants it gone. This applies for both the official + flyingjesus' one

I wouldn't quite go that far, seen half the rubbish posted in there lately?

Yea.. The games forum massively outspams it in terms of crappy content.
I occasionally use the spam forum just for mindless talk, as is its purposes it seems. The games forum on the other hands only purposes is to boost peoples post count by playing a load of pointless and mundane games.
How you concider count to a million, 1 number per post at a time more spammy, that a "hello lolz" kinda stuff i dont really understand.

I also made this poll beforehand (which sparked the official one MAD made) in which the voting and post content showed clearly what the majority view was.

Exactly, we have 2 polls, one official proving that the forum does want it scrapped. Just need management to see this now

I suppose because I don't pay much attention to forum games now, I just see numerous new posts in the spam forum, generally saying the same thing of either "hi lzol" or "rep if you do this xxx" so on so forth.

Which is much more effort than:

Hmm, not all games are like that though, some do require a score of under 1 (IQ) to do "use the last letter of this name and make it the start of a next"

or, in my pants..

and also!!

Example idea "Hi."

requires the same effort

Yeah, point taken.

But everyone that has posted sees that most of the Forum Games board is pointless posts and something needs to be done

And hey, you might as well do it whilst everyone is caught up about the reputation changes, maybe they won't notice

I'm sure if they did do this it might make everyones current post count drop :rolleyes:

Yes, i do know what the effects will be, smartarse.

Hence, there both spam and nether should have counting post counts. Spams post count doesn't count, yet the spam in games does. It seems illogical to me.

Tom are you saying that most of Marc's posts are crap
