I agree that this is a very simple concept to grasp, and that failure to grasp it shows a fundamental lack of normal social understandings and values. However, you'd be surprised at how many people fail to grasp this concept. People can get obsessed with amazingly trival shit.

If I had a board, I would have no postcounts at all, but that's slighty off-topic.
I like them simply because I can look at posts from long ago and get a general idea of who's still around and who isn't, or an approximate date of a post

It's over where the rest of the information is anyway, so it's easy to interpet (at least to me)

Posts: 2289/5072		 The only problem there really is with post counts is that deleting posts doesn't decrease them. Other than that, who cares?

Posts: 4420/6737		 Yeah... we aren't too concerned about postcount, if someone spams they'll get warned/banned for it, and a large majority of the board will yell at them for it. So it's really not a problem. And admins can, if we really wanted to, change postcounts, so we don't need a new mod to do it.

Posts: 364/709		 You're right about my signature. I obviously have no idea what sarcasm is.

Posts: 430/1181		 OBJECTION!

There is clearly a contradiction between your statement and your signature, Kario!


That's a horrible idea, Darkdata. Especially since it's just BEGGING to be abused, even if you say otherwise.

And by the way; admins can already set a user's postcount through edituser.php, so there is no need for mods to have that power.

Posts: 193/983		 It's a simple idea really.
Gives some moderators the abilty to bring down post count.
This power will of course will not be abused in any way.

It could be used for:
*Taking down post count of someone who has spamed.
*Taking down the post count of someone who had their thread moved to the pit of Despair
*
There are probally other uses that I am not thinking of now .

Then again.. I am not a moderator so I would not know if that would be helpful.

[Tosses the idea out into the open]


Edit: My Signature look like it was causing a bug.(Removed)
