Calax Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I realize we've gone over this before, but that was years ago and I just wanted to bring it up again for discussion, should we/could we get our WOT posts counted in the little post counter under our profile?

Zoraptor Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Having posts in OT forums count towards post totals tends to encourage spamming in those forums. Post counting should remain on the gold standard, lest they become subject to inflation and devaluation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gfted1 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 ^Apparently. I do sometimes wonder what my post count would be if it included WoT. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amentep Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I think post counts should be invisible. They offer nothing of real value as far as I can see, yet still somehow manage to be a source of several bones of contention. Or assigned arbitrarily by a random number generator at midnight every night. 3 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet?

Malcador Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 They should count negatively. 2 Why has elegance found so little following?

213374U Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) How about we find a way to convert post counts to minutes. I estimate that a weighted average of what it takes me to write up a post is about 5 minutes (taking into consideration both drive-bys and walls of text). So my post count would be equivalent to 375+ hours spent ****posting here. Wow, more than I have logged in any one single game... T.O.M.B.S. GOTY 2015 edit: wait, that's without the hidden WoT posts.

FML But remember, that's 375+ hours over 11 years (3878 days), so even if WOT doubled with your post count, its still only about 4.5 hours a day. For 11 years. Not making it any better, am I?

Leferd Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Can we just pay for post counts? Or make it a $$ add on for future Kickstarter campaigns? Gotta monetize this like piecemeal DLC.

Gromnir Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Can we just pay for post counts? Or make it a $$ add on for future Kickstarter campaigns? Gotta monetize this like piecemeal DLC. the notion o' paying to increase post counts is absurd. on the other hand, we might consider paying to reduce our post count. is kinda a barometer o' shame, no? HA! Good Fun!

Leferd Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 That's a novel idea.
