Should post counts be hidden?

Bucky · 12-10-2003, 03:37 AM

With the massive amount of useless posts overrunning the forum lately, it is making it pretty hard to sort out the meaningful content from the outright spam.

The idea of removing post counts from the members info has been raised by a couple of admins, so I thought it worthwhile to see what the members (the folks who count! ) think of the idea.

yes i think it is a good idea Bucky, hence i voted yes

i think people should be able to change there... title though without having like 500 posts

because thats why i was spamming so much ;)

Doug · 12-10-2003, 03:45 AM

Voted yes, as it was I that suggest it before.

It's not going to happen though. Unfortunately.

Why should we waste bandwidth (which is expensive) and hard drive space for loads of (mostly) useless shit?

Do you want to pay for it?

well the phpbb forum would only be for me and kami...

hard disk space..? uhm.. yeah :thumbup:

this forum should have more mods!

Even the "lagitimate" replies to serious posts are turning into spam. If you love to spam so much then just start sending emails to each other, problem solved. Like the original vets said, the bandwidth ain't free, so don't waste it on BS.

i host my own server with no adds?

lol. just put more adds on the phpbb one!!

I'll say it in the words of William Walece:
You can take my postcounts...
But please don't take my God position
