A certin user around the forums here thinks that union/ot posts should not count in your post count because that would be "cheating".

Why you ask because he says that this Forums are a GAMINGING fourms first and OT later:o?

Do you agree?

I agree. In my opinion all posts in OT/Unions should be taken away and from this point onwards not be counted. This site is called GAMEspot not omg girl yey I want her advise please.com. I realise my own post count would take a hit, but I would take it for the greater good.

most unions deal with gaming. If he doesn't think these forums should deal with OT then the posts in this part of the forum shouldn't be counted.

Well, not exactly union/OT posts, just the fact that people post like way too much like 600+ posts a day is something I can't understand. :? Oh, well. There are no rules against it.

I think Roll Call and WAYLT numbers should be retracted. That is just post spamming. I've got to where I am with no more than 10 RC posts and maybe 50 WAYLT posts.

I don't know anyone in memory who does it, I have heard some people who did it. Maybe not 600, but somewhere around it.

I fail to agree. But if that were the case my py post count will still be at the similar state it is currently in because I have less than 100 posts here in OT.

Scared your post count will die? I wouldn't be and I personally think it would make these forums a bit more equal to be honest.

Post count isn't a competition, it's just a statistic. It's like level, no one worth talking to will give a crap how high it is, they'll just assume that you might not be too familiar with the place if it's only in double or maybe triple digits.

Can't say I care that much about post counts. A post is a post, if you start putting worth on where it's posted then you're not making them equal, just migrating these "cheaters" elsewhere. I've seen plenty of posts in all forums on this site that are pretty daft, and I've seen some very interesting and well rounded posts in the most unlikeliest of places.

And why would anyone care if they do? Spamming to get posts is an immature waste of time, but it's a waste of their own time, not ours. So why not leave them to it if they're doing no harm?
