Prof. Frink Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Not only is it annoying, but post count shouldnt matter. It should be the quality of your posts that matter. I dont know about you guys but when i see a "100 posts!!" etc thread my respect for that person goes down the drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faction Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 I competely agree, hence the reason i closed the last thread. It has been brought to the attention of the other admins, and will probably be a new rule soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neowin_hipster Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Why is there a 50 posts thread!? I hope the moderators should just delete the posts when they see them. It would also help out if everyone clicked "report this thread to a moderator". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyme Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 It's possible it would be used more if the link was more apparent. You would be surprised how many people never notice it. :) I agree that meaningless posts should be done away with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joswin Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Ah but come on, if someone has made 100 posts on a forum (while it might not seem a lot for people with 1000) it means that person is prolly on here for good. If its one thread now and again who the hell does it hurt? If you dont like it dont click it? Don't delete it as the answer to every problem is not to just delete it and hope it goes away. :right: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PabUK Veteran Posted March 30, 2002 Veteran Share Posted March 30, 2002 Congrats on hitting 20 posts Tyme. ;) I agree though, "X posts!" threads are quite pointless. Sure it is nice to acheive huge numbers if you have been a long standing and active member but if everyone made a new topic every 50 or 100 posts it would fill the forum.

Faction Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 No, i can understand every 500, 1000's are ok, but 50.. no way., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurting101 Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Agreed. Heck, I didn't make a new thread when I hit 1000... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM5K Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Agreed, there's nothing wrong with being proud of having 1000 or more posts, helping the community etc, etc. But 50 ? Give me a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyme Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Thanks Pabuk! :) Another thing that I know really aggreviates people is this: When they subscribe to a thread, they get an email that a new post has been made. The post: "me too" I have gotten so many complaints on that. I have many clients who have stopped "meaningless" posts when they realized how much resources it takes to send emails and have people come to the board...to read nothing. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neowin_hipster Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 500,1000,2000 posts is cool and everything but 50 is just a waste. It's garbage that is filling up our forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Dragon Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Sorry bout that, but my 50 posts thread was really more of a making fun of those threads than an actual accomplishment thread.... I hope you get that... :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
