If we renamed it to postcount++ it wouldn't be a Newbie forum anymore. If we get rid of it, we get rid of spam and could possibly make a Newbie Thread in General Chat. (but we shouldn't)
Those are 2 ideas, so what do you think?

Me and some other people wanted to get rid of post counts all together.

But someone said no. And that was that.

I did not vote, because it's fine like it is except some of the spammy posts in there.

99% of that forum consists of "Read FAQ, don spam". How can that be only "some spammy posts"?

I think the Newbie Forum is a great idea, but abused just like the Lost Threads were.
I believe that it should still be around, but maybe with a max amount of posts on each thread to be like five.
Would that be possible?

It would be better if it was 5 posts per account. Period.

Without a newbie forum, the general chat would be flowing with newb threads. Because newbs wouldn't know what to do. I've seen staff members make threads on how they got promoted.

I doubt it would be anywhere near "flowing", but I'd rather not see any there at all.

Yeah, plenty people make crap replies in Newbie Forum. Not everyone does though.

I don't have a decent argument for defending that place. Just that it's not killing this board.

It's not killing it, but it promotes spam UNLESS you people make a rule against "lol read faq"-posts, etc.

It's fairly useless, especially with the way it is abused.

Look at Jeff and Katt's newbie threads, you can see a distinction between people who knew them previously and those who were just making 'postcount++' type replies.

Newbie Forums are pointless. No one actually cares who the new people are, unless you know them previously and want to be nice and try and give them some attention. Or you want to be in the ACS (If that's still around, I dunno)

I concur, that thread was perfectly acceptable. People were having fun goofing off with each other.
