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
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.

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...

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!

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.

heh That brings into perspective the whole member/senior member thing anyway. The fact that someone can spam up the forum and gain Senior Member status is disturbing.

It should factor in Longevity, or have Mod/Admin specified titles. I've been around for a while, but I still don't really consider myself a 'Senior Member'...

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?
