October 14, 200520 yr Should your posts in WoT count towards your overall post count as I for one am sick off posting crap in other threads just to get a more respectable post count.
October 14, 200520 yr this way commisar wouldn't look N00b Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
October 14, 200520 yr I think it This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
October 14, 200520 yr my post count would be almost twice as high if WoT did count, but I don't really care. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
October 14, 200520 yr What's this frantic obsession with post count? Are there any benefits that I don't know about? My vote is "No", because it'd definitely promote spam and we don't want that do we? " ^Asinus asinorum in saecula saeculorum
October 14, 200520 yr post count isn't relavent. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Of course it is......... I lurked here long before I started posting but I was still treated as a newb when I first started posting because of a dismal post count were is I have been around a lot longer than most.
October 14, 200520 yr I voted yes. It's not like spam threads are allowed in WoT anyway. This way people who post only in political and non-game threads wouldn't look like greenhorns.
October 14, 200520 yr Post count isnt a positive indicator of anything, if anything it shows how much time one has wasted here (my opinion, no disrespect to others :ph34r: ) A high post count does not gain any benefits. So far the only noob-bashing i've seen/participated in is against really rookie mistakes and obnoxious behaviour form over familiar noobs. You shouldn't worry Lawman you seem like a cool guy.

Post count SHOULDN'T be relavent.
October 14, 200520 yr Yes. Because, umm... , most of my posts are on the WoT forum. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.

October 14, 200520 yr I think it should be. There are great WoT onversations going on. Post count is often used to measure a person's participation within the community. We might not remember every active person in the community, but we can look at post counts and see whether they are serious about being here or just dropping in to start crap.
October 14, 200520 yr There are people who are serious about posting crap too, you know. " ^Asinus asinorum in saecula saeculorum

This renders the "post count/seriousness" meter ineffective.
October 14, 200520 yr The phrase "quality not quantity" is perfectly suited to this dilemma. In my time of posting here (whetever the name ) i have seen that the people with the fastest growing post counts have the least to say and tend to be the most annoying. So basically dont try and aim for a high post count - let it grow naturally. At least this way you have no fear of being tarnished as a spammer and the existing forum members can get used to you.

October 14, 200520 yr My postcount would reach tragic proportions if we got points for WoT so.. no DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself. Important: as the following sentence contains many naughty words I warn you not to read it under any circumstances; botty, knickers, wee, erogenous zone, psychiatrist, clitoris, stockings, bosom, poetry reading, dentist, fellatio and the department of agriculture. "I suppose outright stupidity and complete lack of taste could also be considered points of view. "
October 14, 200520 yr There are people who are serious about posting crap too, you know. " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Eddo36 anyone? But seriously though, what does having a high post count achieve anyway? Apart from maybe a little more respect from the other members, there's nothing else, so it doesn't really bother me if they count or not, im just here because i want to be TBH, not to get respect . P.S. It's not like many will care, but i have been away for a week, feeling fresh now :D.
October 14, 200520 yr My postcount would reach tragic proportions if we got points for WoT so.. no <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And it isn't now? ^Asinus asinorum in saecula saeculorum
October 14, 200520 yr Definitely not. This is an Obsidian games forum. Why should any of us get credit for posting deliberately provocative tales of terrorism, pizza, and the size of our pants? In any case if I saw anyone bashing a person for being a n00b I'd simply identify them as either joking or a pathetic wasted life! "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
October 14, 200520 yr Hold on here; you're saying that WoT threads are automatically more provocative than others? ^Asinus asinorum in saecula saeculorum
