Why I [or rather the staff, at my and some FESSers' urging back in tha day] killed post counts, and why they had it coming:

Should a poster not be judged by their posts and social capital, as opposed to some arbitrary external incentive, my friends?

Remember the postcount rectangles?

.... or I'm p.sure that's what it used to be before they were dots...

And pfft people totally did care ^o^ They bragged about postcount and member title status (back when that was affected by postcount) all over the place

Well now I'm not sure if you're talking about topic postcount or a specific topic's postcount or some method I don't even know about ^o^

One thing I did agree with was the removal of the member star system.

I was at 4.5/5 stars (out of 5) but it was just toxic in general. Moreso than the people who actually cared about the size of their post counts compared to everyone else.

Now we just need to get rid of those problematic colored fonts. Hopefully then we can move on to avatars and then hopefully names.

There were like two people who actually cared about their post count. Anyone who actually flaunted their post count got flamed for it. That's why I never really thought it was a problem here, but it's not really important, either.

I only vaguely remember the dots, but I remember the member titles.

The only important post count is in FftF.

The only important post count is in Mafia. If your postcount is above 0, you're evil.

This actually leaves me on the dark side of the forest.

EDIT:

the real deal is mod actions count

Warnings are irrelevant. Suspensions are too mild. It's all about the bans.

I'd like for serenes forest to have certain cliques / cults based on badges, being the only thing left.

Badge Cults. As long as I get a Briggid/Eyvel badge.
