Spam Post Count

[Ed.]

You could somehow remove your normal post count while in the spam forum and replace it with a spam post coount meaning that it wouldn't take up any extra room?

I dont think it will considering there are no prizes for having the most overall and the people who will have the highest have done it without ever being able to see how much they've had before... if that makes sense

Na I get what ya mean but new people will come spam actually spamming

Personally I disagree. Post count is used all the time for every other part of the forum, and it never turns in to a popularity contest really - just my opinion, which is obviously going to be biased towards the idea.

That's a load of me flute, allot of people post around the forum just to get their post count up, not so much the older members but allot of the newer ones do and some have even admitted it to me on msn..

Post count will not turn in to a popularity contest.

I will use a prime example, one user who wanted to get a huge post count blah blah blah, planned to get 20k posts in about 18 months soon became disliked. It isn't the amount of posts which makes people unpopular/popular. It is the style of their posts.

Im in favour of this, despite i think FlyingJesus would probably have the highest spam post count

lol nah doubt it I have the best posts but probably not the most in spam, even with 5.5k from KKK. You underestimate the combined count of people like Richie who reply to everything and anything

As long as it doesn't actually affect anything other than that number then sure I'm all for it only because spam is itself a community (so obv "forum games posts" doesn't need to be added as that's just punching your keyboard for fun) but as soon as anything more gets attributed to it I'll oppose it to the end

Stories of people like Kyle will forever haunt HxF haha

I totally agree with this. Forum Games should not be included as Spam does at least get some discussions - albeit sarcastic ones a lot, forum games is totally different imo. Also, it should literally be for the spam 'community' - nothing more, nothing less. I would be against anything other than that.

I hope it wouldn't encourage people to linger even more in spam and not around the rest of the forum. That would be my only concern.

It shouldn't do really, although I can see your concern.

After all, if someone wanted to be recognised for being a high poster wouldn't you post more in the forums where you get recognised for your posts, than in spam where you can't win awards for it or have your post count seen across the rest of the forum. Just a thought, although as I say, I can see where you are coming from.

I agree, I don't think post count would turn it into a popularity thing. Just look at me, I haven't even got 4k posts and I'm treated like a goddess lalalalala

I'm talking about people who currently have tones of posts will be arse licked by new members. Either way it'll be ****e 'cause spam really will be spam. I don't really give a **** though I'm just giving my opinion, it's going to turn into spam central, literally.

Things that are bleeding ****e about this forum is people make threads asking for silly things that are totally unnecessary to be implemented when everything is perfectly fine how it is.

Tbf I am scared to -rep you in case of the horror of it being returned. Only joking.

But that is true. Stephen doesn't have a high post count, and although I won't go as far as saying he is treated like a goddess, he isn't rejected and not as popular as someone else may be just because of his pathetic 3.8k posts

Someone needs to take a chill. I am dreadfully sorry for suggesting things which I think would be a nice addition. Please forgive me :rolleyes:
