View Full Version : No Post Count Petition

Let it die, people think it's a contest, and no matter how many fucking time you tell them it isn't they go ahead anyway. And more newbies will come, and they'll do it too. The simple fact of "Hey I'm a Fucking Moron, but i got 200 post and i only been here a week, so I must be a valid memeber of the board" has gone way to long. Most of us know who's relevent and who's not, a number won't.

Therefore I call for a petition to end post counts, I know it's much, but so is fatasses suing Burger King.

Just reply to sign or something.

I liked the way it was on the EZBoard, where you'd only see it if you went into someone's profile.

But people would always cry that it wasn't on for posts and a few of us warned you shit like this would happen.

*No, I'll sign

*Klownboy got 92 of his posts on his first day, Pro.

I agree with your no post count idea, Cool. It may look like I'm trying to race to have a large post count, just trying to help the thread. I understand now not to post short, meaningless posts because it wo't help anything. If we remove this, it will more likely reduce the post counts by a good margin, and makes this board a better place.

EDIT: I think bitching will occur when it starts, but it'll die quckly.

This isn't a new idea either

At least you were here a month and have 120-somethin and not here a fucking week

HAHA ive been here since febuary and some newbies have more posts then me. *COUGH COUGH klownboy COUGH*

Im all for the removing the post counts. They serve no purpose. We could have something better, like we could put more information about the person. Or something else useful.

If anyone actually gives the slightest shit about their 'post count' they really, REALLY should be publicly tortured and executed.

You can't remove post counts in phpBB without editting the source code. I think increasing the post flood interval and more active banning would fix the problem. >:

It takes about 5 minutes tops to edit that source Chimp, there's nothin to it. I've been considering doing it for a while... it might be time to go ahead and implement such a change.

Good. My post count is embarrassing and I demand that you get rid of them.

I don't really care eitherway, since I don't think I've actually seen anyone actively posting to boost their post count. If anything, it's an indicator of people who post way too fucking much, like klownboy. There's the in-profile "post frequency" indicator for that, but the post count itself is kind of a constant reminder of who posts too much since it shows up with all their posts. Of course, you already know someone posts too much when they have single sentence/word replies all over the board.

In short - post counts are useless.

Note: Chimp, I think some people should be banned too, and a friend of mine turned off post counts on his old phpbb board, it wasn't much to it, and I'm betting rog knows more about phpbb then he ever did.

I really don't see what's wrong with the post count. It just shows how long a person has been on the board. That's all. Only total idiot noobs would want to get their post count high. I guess it wouldnt matter that much if it were gone, but I would like it if it stayed.

Turn off post counts.

The problem here isn't the post count or the retards trying to get their post count up. The problem is the only thing a lot of the people here are willing to do is bitch about how people post to much and how they only say one word responses. That and joke about having gay sex together because that's clearly HILARIOUS.

I suppose that's because a bunch of the new motards happen to think they're hilarious.

Ixnay the post count, I wouldn't mind.

Professor Cool

We use to have a ranking system, so the more post you have, higer the ranking. Then some dipshit made a "Rank up Forum" where they just wasted posts. We turned both the things, and it worked as far as over posting.

As for sheer idiocy, we had a Banned of the Month thing were every month board memebers can vote on who should we ban as long as there was a reason behind.
