Dr. Tom 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2003 It's threads like these that get me closer and closer to removing post counts. Dames I'd be all for it. I've been all for it all along. Or maybe posts in General Chat and Hardcore wouldn't affect the post counts. I know the last time we put it to a vote, too many people who take the number of times they've clicked "Add Reply" (and thus, themselves) far too seriously whined about the prospect. Just implementing it in an iron-fisted manner is much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dutchse.cx 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2003 So long as the deletion of Hardcore Discussion doesn't immediately follow the removal of post counts, there should be no poster uprisings. Spaceman Fuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

treble 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2003 Killing post counts isn't going to stop stupid threads/posts. I really don't think there are that many people out there who think that having a higher post count makes you cooler, a better poster, etc. And besides, even if you take them off of the posts, they still show up in profiles and other parts of the board (or, at least they do over at SNKT), so it doesn't mean much. I don't care one way or the other, I'm just saying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob_barron 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2003 I agree with TC- I think taking away post counts wouldn't really do anything to stop the stupid shit that goes in Hardcore Folder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Waldo Report post Posted November 26, 2003 What about daily post limits? Cap it at 75 a day. That should be enough for most people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest T®ITEC Report post Posted November 26, 2003 75 per day is more than enough. Make it a nice, even number like fifty. Or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Waldo Report post Posted November 26, 2003 I think this was brought up before, but people said they wouldn't be able to post freely in the O&O RAW and Smackdown threads each week if there was a limit. So why don't we make it a 50 post/day limit, and have the mods remove the limits just during RAW and Smackdown each week. That way everyone's happy. Fair?

chaosrage 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2003 Oh, and taking away post counts wouldn't do anything. Nobody cares about the stupid number. Some people just like to talk a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dutchse.cx 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2003 Almost everyone is overthinking this shit. Taking away post counts will not do anything useful. Honestly. People will still just make stupid posts and stupid threads for fun, just like people say stupid things and talk about stupid things in real life for fun. Remove post counts. Nothing will change.
