CELEBRITY_HITMAN Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Hi! Something I would be interested to see added on the muse boards would be the post count of each member on their profile. Or perhaps the option to enable/disable this feature at will, according to the user's wishes. It is a small addition but I would regard it as a worthwhile improvement that could easily be implemented if the powers that be so desired. That's all. Thanks.

Clunge Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Post Counts just promote elitism. I think the forum functions perfectly well without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popey Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Post counts were removed since it just encourages certain people to spam. It's also a big eltisim factor with the whole "zomg ur post count iz low!!!" You can still work it out by using advanced search but it's a lengthly process.

Dramatic Hammer Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I know! :'( When will the madness end? When you adjust the rules to discourage 'OMG I POSTED THE MOST IN BANTER BUT I'M STILL GOING TO TELL YOU MORE TEDIOUS DETAILS ABOUT MY UNEVENTFUL LIFE' posts.

CELEBRITY_HITMAN Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 In spite of your comments, I still think it would be a cool idea if post counts were disabled by default but individually people could choose to reveal them if they so desired. But fair enough. =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paper tiger Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 :'( I THOUGHT YOU LIKED IT WHY DIDN'T YOU SAAAAAAAAAAAAAY Re: topic - NO. Too embarrassing lawlz...most of the regulars on these boards have A LOT of posts...so there would be few w/ less than a 1,000... buuuut what other people said...it would stir up more drama...people making fun of people for having 32948294 posts... but then again that would add more fun to the drama "you've posted 3498584544 times...HAHA!" lawlz...

Apocalypse King Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I always liked it when there used to be post counts! But then, they resulted in innumerable threads like 'ZOMG I HAS REEHCHED 3000 POSTZ0RZ!!'. And people just spam to get their count up. Actually, to be honest, I don't see that as being a big decline in quality from what gets posted just now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 haha, case in point, MX it's sad the people there who've got like... 40k or something Indeed, most people just get ignored/flamed if they have less than a few 1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvolo Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I remember when Noodles came along and got 10000 posts in a couple of weeks Celebrity_Hitman,your post count was 195 when I checked a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
