Post Count.

theone · 07-11-2010, 07:33 AM

Has anybody else noticed a slight abnormality in their accounts in that the post count has stopped increasing?

I have just noticed this recently. So after making a couple of further posts checked and the count remains static. Strange.

EDIT: After further posts it appears that only some parts of getDare are exhibiting this problem. I think that the Lounge Games is one of them.

I really hope that Depp changed the Lounge Games forum so that any post in there doesn't increase post count. A lot of people post on those games just to increase their post count and don't really contribute to the rest of the forums. I refused to post on games because they are just a waste and don't give me more quality in my posts.

We differ opinions there. To me, a quality post is a post that is not going off-topic and that is not spamming or trolling.

You've got to admit though, some people post crap just to look good on the post count (certainly seems that way though). I see similar things happening in the "Person Above" - "do a messy dare now dare meeee lol thx" indeed.

The lounge games no longer increase post count. If you notice elsewhere that you post that it doesn't incraese, let a mod or admin know

Darn it, my post count would have been so high, lol. Won't this encourage people to not play forum games?

IMAO - those who play the forum games to increase post count rather than to play forum games, may find themselves a more satisfactory haven at GaiaOnline's ChatterBox.

Personally, I'm here to enjoy myself on these forums, not to extend my E-penis.

If all people do is play forum games purely for post count, well, I think those people are daft. You play games for fun, not for a number to go up.

The quantity of posts on a website is not directly proportional to its usefulness. I don't want everyone in the world to post on getDare (really!). This is a place for like-minded people to chill. Stuffing posts in every visible crevice of the site won't make it any better.

I know changes in how post count is calculated will bum some of you out. Our only motive here is to stop posts for the sake of increasing some arbitrary number.

I am not at all bothered with the post counts but its a good move to remove the lounge games from adding to the count.
