Title: Post counts
Post by: BLONDIE on February 22, 2007, 10:15:23 AM: How come when you post in "Other stuff" your post is not counted? This is a public forum right? Sometimes individuals don't have anything to contribute to the paintball discussion board all the time. What do you think?

Post by: PiCaSSo on February 22, 2007, 10:19:55 AM: I think all posts should count as well... It is a public forum for the DP community but there are some very constructive and sometimes humorous creations in "Other Stuff". A post is a post is a post no matter what section of the forum it is in. I don't recall any other forum filtering the post count like that.

Post by: bitmate on February 22, 2007, 10:21:00 AM: I guess it's set like that to reduce the spam.
When your posts from that section will be counted, people will start bringing up useless threads and posts, just to raise their postcount ;)
Thus it says " Posts aren't counted here "

Don't spam!! :P

In my eyes, the "Other Stuff" section IS the place to "spam", so all of the junk will be moved there anyways, or will be deleted.

Post by: PiCaSSo on February 22, 2007, 10:50:09 AM: I still think most of what is in "Other Stuff" is really not spam or junk but to each his/her own. ;D

Then jump over to "Other Stuff" and start a new topic about the things you want to talk about.

She's well aware of where to post... what she is talking about is the fact that anything you post in "Other Stuff" doesn't add to your post count when it really should.

Post by: SmackWaters on February 22, 2007, 05:26:29 PM: I think it should count in the other posts section. My posts would be about double what they are now if it did. :) There should be a forum suggestions thread..

The Other Stuff Section seems to be the 2nd most popular board by topics. :P

Post by: bitmate on February 22, 2007, 05:27:51 PM: You still can count all the posts made in the "Other Stuff" section on your StatPanel (http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=1190;sa=statPanel).
Title: Re: Post counts
Post by: SmackWaters on February 22, 2007, 05:28:40 PM: 7987 posts would be added to people's counts if posts were counted there.

Who remembers my 'Last person to post in this thread wins' thread? I'm pretty sure stuff like that has something to do with it. By the way, can we have that unlocked? ;)
