luigi bros Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I was going to use my other topic and change it but it's been closed. Is there anyway that post count can be added until it's what it was before the down time? If anyone honestly tells their post count can it be restored. The same goes for other parts of the website like no friends/members no longer banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I'm pretty sure it would be possible to restore post count. Whether or not it would be a worthwhile thing to do is another story. =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bros Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Why wouldn't it be worthwhile? At least can I have my Heron status back. Preferably my 1,650 posts but I'd like to be a Heron like before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uguu Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Why do you want/care about having a higher post count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bros Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Why do you want/care about having a higher post count? I just liked being able to avoid flood control as a Heron. That and being able to close my own topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember flood control was enabled after you spammed the FE4 THREAD and I bitched about it... and then I felt like it had disappeared. I don't know.

Celice Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 This makes me think what would happen if post counts were done away with altogether, the incessant bitching over nothing D: Just pick up where you left off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
California Mountain Snake Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Actually, while the board is being put back together this would be a good chance to get rid of post counts once and for all. Oh-ho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masu Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I dont see a need to care for it anymore. Post count USE to show how active ppl were but then it just went downhill and turned into a "FUCK YEAH I HAZ MOAR POSTZZZZZZ!!!!11!!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodykitty Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 A boring choice. Yet for the greater good since people won't be encouraged to post garbage just for post count. I fully support getting rid of post count display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What really encourages people to post garbage isn't the post count per se, but the fact you get benefits by reaching high levels. Perhaps those privileges should be nuked.

VincentASM Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Perhaps those privileges should be nuked. I'm thinking the same. In all honesty, they were added just because. I suppose I'll have to remove them just because as well : P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they should, people who spam can potentially get extra power? And how is post count a way of measuring maturity and a quality of being a member? No thanks. I'm for getting rid of that and post count. Now that I think about it, people who want a high post count would post more, which would increase activity, then again, that would also decrease the quality of the posts.. tough decision.

Colonel M Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 The only thing that I would like back (possibly) is being able to change my title again. Not asking for more post count nor begging for the title feature. I'm fine otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I'm for keeping post count, because it allows me to gauge my activity since my initial registration. e-idiots take it as a badge of superiority. It really doesn't matter either way if a new skin comes along to replace it :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bros Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 I like post count. It gives an idea of how active a person is. But I can see the negatives to it. So I don't know what to think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
