Let's Play

[hawkmp4]

Is it really necessary to have this anymore?
I just noticed that Odin had a lot of posts for being around just a little while. Turns out, he has 103 posts in the past two days, in Let's Play alone. And he's not the only one, there are a lot of people just posting in there to inflate their post counts.
The thread provides nothing anymore, just read the last couple pages if you don't believe me. That kind of stuff is what #rubik is for...

i agree...or at least make it so post count does not get affected in off-topic threads, yeesh!

 

[Vulosity]

The thread is just really used for huge amounts of post counts. The thread should be deleted.

 

[StachuK1992]

I personally use it for fun, not post counts...

 

[Vulosity]

well, I use it for post count and fun. Did you see the chaos between waffle and Odin yesterday in the thread? Sa967St and I were also there.

One could argue that it keeps their posting churn neatly confined to a thread I know I have no interest in reading. Who cares about post count anyway? Ignore it if you know how little it means.

 

[StachuK1992]

lol...that was pretty funny

look at odin's post-per-day thing!!!
15 posts per day!
I thought I was a little too high, but most of my posts actually help

Why would you want your post count high?
What's the point?

 

[hawkmp4]

Well, its PRIMARILY used to up post counts. And even if that's not its intended purpose, that's what it ends up doing.

I've been considering something for awhile, and have made it effective as of now.

Posts in off-topic discussion do not count toward your post count.

i'm in the off topic (still on lets play) for the fun. i don't care much about post count. Just because someone has a low post count doesn't mean he/she came in with plenty of knowledge and you can't trust them because of the low posts and Vice-versa.

On the most part i just ignore the count.

There's a lot of good threads, that's true, but there's also a lot of threads like...

Because you were the person who blatantly abused the thread the most?

Yeah.

excuse me but isnt it a nice, friendly type forum?
geez.. i was just bored and felt like maybe hearing some things that could make me laugh with that topic, and i really did which actually helped cheer me up because i was down at the moment. and had NO INTENSION AT ALL for just getting more STUPID post counts so why blame me?

jesus christ...

 

[hawkmp4]

That's just one example... its not like that's the only useless thread.
I know I sound like I have something stuck up my ***. That's fine. It gets irritating trying to find an intelligent conversation around here sometimes...

[hawkmp4]

And posting "OMFG AMAAAZZING SCRAMBLE" threads helps too, yeah?
