is a function that is missused by so many people that post useless posts in the intro section just to raise it. Mayby it should be removed.
Remove post count? Hell, no! That's how I know who I can trust around here (the more, the more trust worthy). But I agree that people's post count shouldn't increase due to posting in the Introductions forums.
This has been suggestion 1337 times now. So I'll answer the question for Shawn... Sorry, not gonna happen. aka, to translate that in to English...it's too easy for me to do that. It has to be something that requires a hack for me to make the change!!!!! Now if you mean talking the post count out completly and not only from the introduction board....er..bad idea!!!!!!
er it is!! But it's so easy to do that Shawn won't do it. No hack required...hince it won't be done!!!!
all valid points but i dont think it shouldnt be counted if u post in the intro forum introduce yourself!
Postwhoring is stupid & a waste of time. I try to make posts that actually contribute in boards that I'm a part of.
I (think) people look at reputation more than postcount anyway. I know I did when I first came here before I got to know who's who. I agree that postwhoring was ruining parts of the forums, in GC it wasn't too bad, but in the specialist secions it was getting annoying. Infractions seem to have dealt with that problem well though.
I occasionally welcome new members but, those posts are not for the sake of increasing my post count!!
And after i got a small punch from yfs1, no Introductory welcomes from me. In my last 200 posts only 6 welcomes.
And those were not welomes actually. There was a fight with a new member who was welcoming someone in a 600 days old thread http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=109117 Check it
xP That was before when I had less than 100 posts and I was like "people are gonna think I'm a noob, I'd better spam."
You sure you and sizzlen aren't related lol - j/k (You only had a couple of posts in intros, just thought it was funny)
