People will help you if they respect or recognize you. The post count is just something that keeps leechers away.

Of course, have a high amount of post counts don't mean much. But to a certain extent, it shows one's activity in the forum. And that would basically be a section for those people.

Lots of the members here don't spam "all over with useless stuff" and still have high post counts. Take me for example.. =) I'm almost to the big 1k, and I was inactive for a good long while.

I think 0nyx was sort of refering to me.
0nyx, 61 posts, joined in Mar 2003.
Senesia, 1351 posts, joined in Mar 2003.

Actually I haven't voted yet. But things such as Free accounts giveaway should be held in a forum which is at least members only.

but then all the guest will just come in, just make a passworded' forum . Give the "Trustworthy people" password, and tada, there you go :/

No Sen, nothing about ur posting u offer good advise & offten the most sensible answers too

i dont post as much as u or others cos the question has been answered already , i think its a stupid post , or that alot of posts here get turned to arguments & u dont get the answer u wanted anyway ^^

i was just adding * my 2 cents *

Senesia 2003-06-06 05:18 PM

It is alright 0nyx. It was a joke anyway, and I didn't find your post offensive in any way.

Let's not talk about post count for now. Those forums should keep the guests out, like you've said, Ex-Mania, we don't really need guests leeching from us.

The post counts amount is arguable. Like uncapped and 0nyx have stated, people can get those post counts easily if they spam useless stuff all over the place. Some people might want to help to answer a question, but they don't want to restate what people have said.

However, if we disregard post counts, it might be hard to decide whether or not a member should have the access to that forum.

I still think it is a good idea. Fact is, I'd rather give something away to someone I know I will be talking to in the future, and not some "ghost" member, such as guests. Post count is sometimes very important.

I think it should be how long you've been at zelaron, not post count. Going by postcount would only encourage people to spam even more than they do now.

Titusfied 2003-06-06 07:26 PM

Actually, that is even a better idea. Maybe it should be a certain amoutn of time here at Zelaron, AND at least 75 or so post count.

That way, you've been here long enough, and you weren't just one of those members that showed up one day, registered, and got lucky with this idea to make rules and regulations like this.

That would count you out Titus ! lol just depends I guess.

Titusfied 2003-06-07 11:59 AM

I don't get it.

!King_Amazon! 2003-06-07 12:09 PM

Me either. Nothing new.

Chruser 2003-06-07 12:37 PM

It's a very good idea, actually. I'll browse vbulletin.org for any such hacks and see if I can come up with something. Otherwise, I will just pester WW for something. :)

Titusfied 2003-06-07 12:39 PM

SWEEET!!

Great idea Ex-Mania!

EX-Mania 2003-06-08 04:49 PM
