Post Count

I think post count should stay bcus it signify's seniority and participation which lets new members know who is the most knowlegable about the forum or most participant member in zelaron so that they can ask them for information and/or get a different perception on there replies/posts. Of course if ppl abuse Zelaron w/ spam and useless garbage, then they should be punished

Thats what the activity, longevity, & Member icons are all about, right?

Yes but people can spam and become so called "seniors" over people who been here for a long time.

I voted Yes but I meant no. Don't think I love post counts or anything, but they're just a part of EVERY forum I've been in. It is something you naturally assoiciate with forums.

Being diffrent is the key!

Well postcount hasn't been at every forum that i've been to, and those without it do just fine, in fact they really do have less spam than those i visit that have it.

The original purpose of the activity bar was actually to increase support for the complete removal of post count--judging from the responses now and comparing them to responses before, it has... Also, the activity bar is meant to help the noobies spot the people who are active, as has been stated, the active people know who's active, but the new members do not.

Oh, and in respect to !K_A!'s post, as Kuja`s #1 stated, he meant opposite of what he voted... 9-3 in opposition.

I do agree with Tidus2005 though, I really did initally like how the member title changed with a certain amount of posts. Honestly, that is the only reason I'm still around here. I initially came for Diablo Bot help, and to leech ( ), but after seeing my Title constantly changing, I became intrigued.

Anyway...

I came for Diablo 2 info, and i want to become a member soon.

Didn't mean to get you worked up over a Stupid Little Hack.

That fact is, if you get rid of post count. That will start a huge war for about 3 days with members pissed. Could also even lose alot of activity/members because of it.

1. I would acually like to see it go, but think it is a bad idea because of the loss of members, ect...

2. Your dealing with alot of kids on this site. Ages from 14-18. So being a forum with a dominating age rang like that, you should expect spam, and or useless post.

Which ever way the staff goes, i'm in full support with them, as i also been. I do like the idea of it leaving, i did it on my forum from the start untill we upgrading to Vb 3. No one really had any problems with it. Though my board is much smaller and not as active yet. I also have higher age rang on my site, seeing we advertise on a site where alot of older people go. And like WetWired said, it does help with spam. I go to alot of site with out the post count and there spam is much less.

Edit: Perfect example of spam - The post below me. HandOfHeaven. He needs to be in the Losers User Group. Notice how i EDITED my thread handofheaven!

Like me and Kuja's #1 posting useless threads.

If people leave the forums because the number of posts they have made is no longer displayed below their name then they don't deserve to be here in the first place. The sheer fact that it seems that important to anyone seems reasonable grounds for removal to me.

Well its not soo much the post count that i like, but its the activity that boosts you to member/senior member.

I dissagree. There kids, and normally are ammused by the littlest things.

I think the people who would get mad are the people who are probly here for post counts(why?), and if they left I wouldnt care... but it seems senior members are wanting to keep it

My question is... even if you want to keep it, would you be mad if it was taken out?

i would have to say that post cout is not a big concern of mine and neither is the activity bar because i mean i found it interesting at first with the activity bar and i know that personally it cause me to make some "spam" post that i would not have normally made but i realized that what i was doing was not helpful. i mean i have been here a while and do not usually post unless i have something help or insight full to say, or if i need help with a problem and then i get tire of people either bring a thread that i am looking for help off topic or just filling it full of spam. so overall i have personally realized that activity and post cout dont matter to me becaue i find it slightly strange that anyone should have 100% or close to it activity it makes me wonder if they have no life outside of zelaron because i mean face it most people cannot be at or near a computer 365 days a year just to visit a site and make atleast 4 posts.


also as a side note i liked how on the old version of the forum you got a title for somany posts. this was an interest to me because i just wanted to see what the next title i got was. i know that you could change it if you wanted but i always left it the way it was because i kind of thought of it as a ranking system which was cool.

Doesn't represent seniority... I have lower post count than alot of members here.. yet I am sup mod... status = seniority... quality of post = seniority..

I don't post super often... yet I am here... i sorta roam around not posting and just checking out threads

kinda what i do, i roam around. I spend most my time in this forum. =\

Your status doesn't show Seniority Ex, there were a few people who were mods before they even had any posts(I'm pretty sure shinto was one.) Like volstrecker said, he's a mod but he doesn't consider himself Senior member.

I'm not a mod and I consider myself a senior member.

I mainly don't feel like a Senior Member mainly because I'm not exactly recognized outside of the Diablo forums.

A true Senior Member (in my opinion) is recognized everywhere (if not respected). Give me a little while, and I'll be there.

Also, I would like to point out that being Senior Member shouldn't be confused with a contributing member, in general.

As far as the debate considering Post Count vs. Member Status, it's really hard to think of a better way.

yea, i am a senior member apperently, and i have just over 200 posts. lol.

I just roam around and post something if it interest me or something like this thread, a discussion on stuff.
