Crazy_rob close a few threads in the general chat becuase some DPer use it to increase their post cout. How about the introduction board? I think it is worst, just take a look there. Some DPer reply every thread with the same massage. If those who pad post in general chat should be punish, so do those pad in introduction board
I love those that have so much time they don't hesitate to post "congrats on the sale" even if they didn't bid nor took any part in that thread... oh well...
Well!! you have problem that few People are active in Introduction Forum and padding their post count. buddy tell me what is the significance of introduction forum? A newcomer comes and introduces him/herself, Someone needs to welcome him, he'd loves to see replies, no matter from whome. you dont go, I dont go in that forum to welcome anyone. few people are doing it, whats your problem if it is adding extra post counts, at least they are not posting useless threads in other parts of the forum. As far as PPC(Padding post count) is concern, Shawn can make it like, Posts in Introduction will not add to the total post counts. there is no need of punishing or anything like that.
in the BST forum there's always one or two pricks who will say things like "Great item!" or "Good luck!"
Just report it with the "Report Post" link. There are MANY posts that have been deleted because of it. If you report one, we can just pull all the posts by the user and wipe them all out if they are running up their post count.
ya... an introduction thread is to welcome any new member and it is for newcomers help too. it is not for pad post count don't u post in introduction threads ?
Well if you feel no one should welcome the new members here. How do you think they would know about the friendly dp members here. We wont earn tons of posts from this. But see from the new member point of view - he will be very happy when he finds the place so active.
I dont think theres anything bad in giving a warm welcome, but copy/past ing same message in every thread is bad. I normally post in Introduction forums when i see a thread started by an Indian.
I will find u, u just wait and see And on sidenote, i think there should be some mod such that u cannot reply to introductions section if ur posts are say below 400 so post padders can be restricted. And i remember crazy rob closing one thread which i reported just when it was on page 1 and it went till page 4 till some action took place, i did provide the same reason that this thread is useless and will be full of spam and thats what happened. I guess i can predict future, let me call someone up and become millionare cause i got 6th sense
