    People do not post in BST because they want to boost their post count, they post there because they want to buy/sell things OR bump threads.

    Chat section is for boosting your post count. :rolleyes:

    Thats what I think too. And @ Courtenay : your idea is good. Only thing is that it is sad to know that it is not implemented even though discussed earlier.

    The problem is not only of post count padding, but also of bumping the thread (BTW: this is a bigger problem than that of post count).. so there has to be a solution

    I have a couple of thoughts on the subject

    #1) I believe "pm me the info" posts are legit as long as the buyer is getting itrader feedback. On the otherhand, someone with 500 "pm me the info" posts and zero itrader smells.

    #2) Starting multiple threads is worse than bumping the thread.

    can i just put " PM me more info, I'm very interested " in this thread? :D
    I did this kind of post too but not that much also i only do it if i really wanna know more info that missing from the thread. Anyway i think it's ok to do it if you really want more info not just to increase your posts. ^^
