This is a poll to help decide whether or not that the KMC "Post Count" should be obliterated... Due to the topic coming up just in the last few days.

Pros:
Less Spammers for Posts
Dropping the idiots who compete for Posts
Dropping the Spam Threads
People here for nothing but spam, leave.

Cons:
The Spammers Will Get Angry? laughing out loud

Well, here is the poll, so you.. KMC Decide on what you think... Vote your choice today.. If you care or not happy

roll eyes (sarcastic) Way to miss the point of the entire thing, Vinny.

It would have been only for abolishing the post count of the OTF, this poll would need to be in the OTF.

Vinny Valentine
According to a few people, it was for all post counts. ermm

Storm
Either remove the post count in its entirety, or not at all. If this will only apply to the OTF, then I will vote against.

I made this to get rid of them all.

I voted for getting rid.

T.M
I don't really care.. I don't pay any attention to them so I don't mind if they stay or go.

Rogue Jedi
If post counts are going to be discontinued, then Thread counts should be eliminated too.

Kram3r
How much of a problem is it, really? I mean looking at it now, I don't see anything wrong with it. Spammers will come and go, regardless of post count.

Rogue Jedi
It's not a problem.

They are. Do you see anything in your profile that tracks how many threads you have?

Well....find all threads.

Also, Vinny should be banned.

Sanctuary
Most people who spam in the 1,000,000 post thread do it because they want the 1000th post, removing post count won't stop them from spamming.

Maybe we could have a word count function instead? smart To show many words were in a members post on average.

...And just close the 1,000,000 post thread and others like it.. no expression

I brought this idea up most recently, this should be my thread with my name on it, *****. mhm

Impediment
I say remove them.




Also, Rogue Jedi is my toilet.

chillmeistergen
Get rid of 'em.

Rogue Jedi
keep em....lose em.....the forum will continue to operate.

Spidervlad
Wow, I didn't even have a chance to vote

Anyways, I don't find a problem with it. Why would you want to have 'the most' posts? I never found that the post count matters, but I rather look at a person's date of joining to see how proficient he is in KMC.

chillmeistergen
To be honest, that makes you just as bad. Why not look at the person's actual posts and judge them on that?

Galan007
This seems like a very silly thing to complain, and subsequently make a thread about. ermm

He registered in 07...which would make him a moron by your (SV) standards. But then you read some of his posts and you realize he is just a moron in his own right.

Vinny, I'd like to point out that post counts are not what spammers seek. They seek to advertise their own profit. It doesn't take more than one post for a spammer to get his/her mission accomplish. Getting rid of post counts won't deter spammers.

Trolls who use multiple posts don't care either. They seek to annoy and harrass members.

We're not talking about spam as in people who advertise things.

We're talking about people who post stupid crap continually. The 1,000,000th Post thread in the OTF is 100% spamming by people who just want a lot of posts.

WrathfulDwarf
Ah! Got it...well, if that's the case then I see a point.

But I always thought that the 1 Million post thread was about reaching that figure and then that was it...no more posts.

roll eyes (sarcastic) Doubt it.

If you look at members like Morning_Glory, the majority of their posts are only in that one thread, and look at her post count.

WrathfulDwarf
I've notice that post spam is practically found in other large threads like "What you look like" and "Random Comments" There is also the social threads which also gets abuse.

We could ask to tone down the abuse of posts in those threads.

Social threads don't get post abuse. They are there for social interactions.

However, in the 1,000,000th Post Game you get posts that consist of nothing but quoting your previous post, then quoting it again in another post, all without adding anything to the post. Just empty posts over and over.

In the "What You Look Like" type threads, I'd be more than happy to have all conversations in there made against the rules. I find it annoying to have to search back 10 or more pages just to see the latest posted picture.

Getting rid of the post count won't do a thing, imo.

I vote against it.

His point is true.
I'll only post in the 1-mill/thread if people are Really talking, which they don't, so its nothing more then a spam-quest.

it might as well be renamed to "The Spam here when bored Thread"

Schecter
eliminate post counts. so much would be solved by doing just that. maybe a type of kudos system for public approval junkies to wear as a badge of honor? whatever the case postcount=spam.

Syren
I've been here four years and I've notched up 33153 posts. I consider this to be a lot, but it doesn't mean I'm a spammer. I also appreciate being able to see what my post count is. Not for any real reason, when I think about it, I just like that it's tallying my posts.

Anyway, I say keep the post count. As others have already mentioned, getting rid of it won't deter the trolls or spammers. They'd simply find some other way to piss us all off.

WrathfulDwarf
*stands next to Syren*

Yeah!

Barker
Make it so you get a PM telling you how many posts you have on your anniversary or something. haermm

Captain REX
Perhaps enable yourself to see your own post count, but not those of others?

Vinny Valentine
Maybe make it you only get a count if you post a certain amount of words.

And see how long it takes Morning Glory to start a "Post your postcount here" thread.

Tptmanno1
I really don't care.
I haven't checked my post count in ages. Kill it for all I care.
I mean is there really any sort of use for that mechanism?

Blax_Hydralisk
To see how many posts you have 13

Syren

Good idea, as long as Glory were banned from making threads first ermm

Strangelove
I honestly don't care.

The most I do with my post count is make a thread when I reach a certain number. I don't check it obsessively, I hardly check it at all.

Getting rid of it would just give me one less things to do on KMC

Why not just get rid of KMC altogether, ha? That would sort out all the problems.

I am joking, of course.

Get rid of Prab all together, ha.
