Number of posts
pjk, I suggest you remove the number of posts that shows up just below your name when you post. We get younglings that come to these forums just to grind the posts like points by reviving old threads and posting non-sense into them. By taking that away you would take away their sense of status that they are clearly striving to achieve for some reason.
take as an example this thread:

I like the number of posts - why don't you just put it in the rules. I don't know if anybody looks at the rules, but I do.
And give the guy a break, when I came to this forum, I also wanted to get my posts up, but I didn't revive old threads but did a little useless posts and got yelled at by masterofthebass.. Well I don't do it anymore (at least I think I don't) but the new comers will eventually learn.... (I hope)
Even if post count is removed members will still be junior, senior, etc so they will still try to get that higher...
I can't think of any measures that can be taken against it. People will always be dumb and people will always spam.
I say we just keep the posts, and remove the Junior Member, Member, and Senior Member stuff (keep the moderator, super moderator, and administrator) because there isn't any real use in that stuff and that's the reason people spam (as least that's what I did). I think that will make the situation better....
The easiest way to fix that problem is to warn the member, and if it continues, suspend them. I don't see any problem with leaving the post count below names. If you guys see someone doing that, please don't hesitate to PM them nicely and warn them. If you don't want to, please PM me to let me know. Thanks.
But you actually do.Originally Posted by pcwiz
You post nearly 8 times a day, i dont care, but as long as its useful, thats going for everyone eles as well.
I think I have quite a post count as well, but I do tend to check the forums a few times a day, and I think the amount of posts I go through, my post count isn't really that much.
Yeh but at least its worthy and useful, and you dont bump.
[sarcasm]I agree. The only reason I posted so much in the past was because I wanted to get a post count > PJK's post count. After that I just lost interest. Now it's time for me to start posting again. Damn you PJK
