Reputation: +1/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 1569	Too many members are obsessed with post counts and stuff for that to happen and not be abused. However, I agree that it might be nice to see how many total posts you've made, (post counts are pointless as far as I'm concerned, but I suppose I'd be curious to see how many I've made altogether). Maybe a separate post count that includes all posts accessible only from the "User Stats" part of our own profiles. That way members wouldn't start making useless post outside of the Spam forum, but we'd still be able to see our total post count without others being able to, (thus eliminating the problem of including posts from the Spam! board...maybe?). It honestly seems like a lot of trouble for something so insignificant, (maybe it'd be easy, I don't know as I have no experience with site development), but I'm going to assume it's probably possible to do. I guess I don't really care either way, but I'm assuming there are more important things to work on. Meh, I dunno, those are just my thoughts. Logged

Oh, something else I forgot to mention. If spam was posted in a board other than Spam, the idealistic response by moderation would be its deletion due to it not conforming to the community rules. This process would be best described for the post count as being incremented by one and then decreased by one resulting in zero. Technically, a post count by your definition is how many times you posted, but how come deleting a post removes from that count? In my opinion, since in Spam the posts are allowed to not be deleted as they are given a place to exist and since if they were not there your post count would not be incremented by posting them, not incrementing the post count is acceptable due to the visibility of their existence.

I murder your toys as well Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 1508	Fine, I'll refute your petty argument. You're saying that if a post in Spam was made anywhere else, it would be deleted and post count would drop. That makes sense. But if I posted a topic about StarCraft II in community speak, and whether by accident or purpose it was deleted instead of moved to the Gaming forum, and the post count was dropped, it would be the exact same issue. Posting a spam topic in Community Speak, which was moved to Spam would be fine, and the post could should could there because that is the ONLY PURPOSE of that forum. Just like the gaming board's ONLY PURPOSE is to contain topics on the subject of gaming. Would you agree with this statement? Quote from: Not 4Sword Oh, something else I forgot to mention. If gaming was posted in a board other than gaming, the idealistic response by moderation would be its deletion due to it not conforming to the community rules.

Reputation: +1/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 1569	Before I continue with this post I'd like to clarify that I'm not taking sides here because, as I said before, I honestly don't care one way or the other. This topic seems kind of pointless at this point, basically everything that's needs to be covered has been said for both sides of the argument already, and it is now more or less a pissing contest. As far as I'm concerned it should be locked and be moved to the Staff board at this point to prevent further squabbling. Having said that, I must point out that many of my posts within the Spam! board are coherent, on topic, informative, and well thought out -- I've even started topic within Spam! that by all means belong in the regular boards, (just for the hell of it I guess). Anyway, my point is that not all posts within that board could be classified as being useless. Granted, the overwhelming majority of the posts are useless and many of those that are in fact useful are there due to the board being used in ways it was not intended for, (for instance, the serious topics that I've posted there), but still my point remains. Again, I'm not taking sides as I don't really care, I just wanted to make a point I guess. Logged
