No Post Count Petition

[Professor Cool]

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.

Petition: BANISH Post Counts

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.

[Professor Cool]

so your not gonna sign

I wish i was there back in the ezboard days, well if you dont like this petition i got another.

Petition: I-PINKERY
The Petition to turn the background from black to HOT PINK

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.

[Professor Cool]

This isn't a new idea either

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

[Perndog]

I'm all for it. I already passed 666; I have no goals.

[noob3]

I forgot about PernDog

[Comrade Rocket]

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.

[soundtest]

fuck you i'm almost at 1000

I'd sign, i've conciously attempted to NOT post too much. I dont; give a fuck about post counts yet most of the jackasses do. Do away with them.

[Dole]

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

[sloth]

edit: sorry :/

[Anonymous]

i like the way you think

[AChimp]

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.

[Mockery]

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.

[Esuohlim]

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

[FS]

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.

[Spectre X]

fine, I passed a thousand anyway and I FUCKING MISSED IT


get rid of the post count. I am angry at it.

[AChimp]

I am FOR post counts and FOR more active banning.

[Cap'n Crunch]

Get rid of them.

[dj bastard]

how can i shame the spammers if i cant tell them from "normal" posters

[kahljorn]

I started a "riot". Yay.

[Professor Cool]

So the list is

-Me
-Chojin
-Drev
-Perndog
-Trigger
-Zorak
-Esuohlim
-Spectre X
-Cap'n Crunch
- and Perfecto Suspecto said "Sure"
-Bennet
-LacrimansTaurne
-kahljorn
-Jixby Phillips
-Skullhedface

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.
