General Spoon Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 If we're going to get rid of postcount (which is a good idea), now would probably be the time to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanarkin Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 why should we get rid of postcount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 why should we get rid of postcount? Why keep it? Post count being around just results in petty arguments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lux Aeterna Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 The only thing I was worried about since my account got deleted was my member title status. Since I can change my member title now, even though I'm an egg, I'm fine if you take it away. : D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacken Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Get rid of it. It just causes the e-peen maggots to go "HURP I HAVE LOTS MORE POSTS THAN HIM SO YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO ME" when they're blathering on with their box of tard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I kinda like the postcount system. I'm not into elitism as Mr. Hammerdwarf suggests, but I like how it keeps a record of your activity on the forum, sort of like a personal goal. I haven't seen anyone get all elitist over postcount in quite a while anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxas Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 it seems like a little pointless goal once you think about it... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnd Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Removing the extra privileges is enough, if you ask me. Get rid of it. It just causes the e-peen maggots to go "HURP I HAVE LOTS MORE POSTS THAN HIM SO YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO ME" when they're blathering on with their box of tard. FESS removed postcounts. Yet, it died with an elitist reputation. Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you are.And you can see your own post count at any time. FESS removed postcounts. Yet, it died with an elitist reputation.Because it expected members not to suck. Your argument fails.

Celice Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) Ironically it wasn't truly elitist until the end anyways Even if it were removed, any member can calculate their post number by entering their profile and viewing all posts, then tallying them together with some simple math Edited June 10, 2009 by Celice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxas Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Looking at others' post count makes you kinda go... Aw crap. loook at that girl with all of teh postz. I wanna b that hi lol. And then you pretty much feel bad about yourself for not dedicating your life enough to an internet forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liz Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Kill the post count. The respect other members show towards you should be sufficient indication whether you're a productive and good member of the forum or not. A post count is nothing but a number beneath your avatar.

VincentASM Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I don't know if it's just me, but it seems like every other FE forum has postcounts and they seem to be doing fine o__o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bros Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Keep it. Spam for a higher post count for privages should be gone since group privalages are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanarkin Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) A postcont is just for fun. No harm to it. If members think they are the best of the forums just because they have a really high postcounts than their postcounts should be lowered. Punish them with what they love XD.

TheEnd Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Because it expected members not to suck. Your argument fails. Or does it? Of all the forums I remember lurking/posting, only FESS and GameFAQs (!) had postcounts disabled. If it were such an obvious solution, I'd believe it would be more widespread by now.

GKSB Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) I despise those horrific topics that go "LOLOLOL I HAS 666 POSTS GAIZ" so please eradicate them. Or make it only count how many times you post in FftF. Because the higher your post count, the more obvious it is you spam :D Edited June 10, 2009 by Crepe Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That punishes them and not everyone in general. People who like post count and don't say that they're better because they have more posts, like me shouldn't be punished.

Inactive Account Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 With Vincent abolishing all the major postcount-related privileges, I don't see any need to abolish postcount itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Just a thought, but wouldn't disabling post count make it so that members could delete their own posts without us having to worry about them constantly deleting their posts so they can up their post count? Or was that issue resolved without my knowledge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was that issue resolved without my knowledge? The main issue is the board software doesn't seem to keep track of member-deleted posts. It keeps mod or admin-deleted ones though. Of all the forums I remember lurking/posting, only FESS and GameFAQs (!) had postcounts disabled. The latter has the karma system though D: Edited June 10, 2009 by VincentASM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I dont see a point in getting rid of it. i mean the really high traffic forum on here doesnt even count toward post count anyway so whats the point? *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
