Agreed. :D

I hate seeing people mentioning their high post count in their sigs, when I know all of those posts are pointless stuff from the forum games threads. >,<

Ha ha, my thoughts! XD
But even worser is, when they open a topic to tell every one how much posts they have.

What, they do? WHY?

Lady, are you on DCF then? Because the custom titles are based off a level 10 (2,000) post count, and people would spam like heck to get them if there wasn't a forum game post count restriction.

If you think about it, some people would go straight to the games, post 10 or 11 times, then drop off their clickables in that thread. I actually would have done that myself, if I hadn't already started so many conversations. XD
Spread the word to end the word, because discrimination based on perceived or actual IQ/"intelligence" is no better than discrimination based on race, gender, etc.

Context, consistency, and clear antecedents are golden.

Yup. On most forums that have any benefits with post counts, that's how it is.

Well, something should be done about that in Lady's clickable thread. One of the rules is no posting here till you post 10 times somewhere else. Who's to say they don't just go to that number game thread and post there 10 times? I bet you could get that done in under a day.
Ehe, I shouldn't be talking... that's where most of my posts seem to be! Ick, newbie moment. Must make lots of updates to meh art thread...
I don't really think that the posts thing is such a great idea anyway. It makes competition, and spam in the process. Better than some other sited which fully go and rank it with stars.

My work here is done.
Thanks again to those who entered in my competition. I'll be off now. Have a nice life out there.

They do, that's where most people get their first 10 post counts.

I've seen someone brag that she reached 200 posts in one week. She put it in her siggy in big letters and started a thread about it in the general chat. I had noticed she was a very frequent forum games "visitor" too...To tell you the truth, post count is starting to get on my nerves. People pay so much attention to it, it drives me nuts.
