Like I said before there is enough "whoring" ish posts in the tech section. You can't really get a true measure of anything even if the post counting scheme is changed!
Maybe we should just give awards for giving the right answer?! I mean seriously, how else are you going to REALLY show that a member know much about what they are saying?
I say let sleeping dogs lye, unless I can get a real reason for this interest in a change?

No, ***** threads are not allowed in The Lounge; the closest thing to that would be the daily workchats
That is not a good idea to assume he knows what he is talking about just because he is a mod. (I'm not saying he isn't smart)
But that is as bad as assuming b/c I have 20,000 posts I know what I'm talking about.
You should trust someones opinion based on the content of there Technical posts.

Ok, so why would we hide post count and/or not count lounge/dungeon posts?
You are going to have bullcrappers with 387942 posts and you are going to have bull crappers with 2.
It is a public internet forum and no my post count isn't that important to me...but why should people who talk to one another through here be regarded to as people who don't know?
That is the general idea I get from hiding post count.
If it did go through...it would be the first internet forum I have ever seen to rise to that level of ridiculous
All in all it isn't my fault if someone believes me and end up becoming misimformed because of me.
If you believe the first thing you read then you are asking for troubles.

I don't know that they should be hidden, but I wish there was some kind of a rule against making someone feel inferior because their post count is smaller. I don't get the point of a post count, honestly. Maybe just a join date, 'rank stars' or something.

Kinda funny how so many threads get locked to save server space while whoring is allowed
and encouraged by showing post numbers and making usless threads to do it in.

"whoring" is only allowed in the dungeon, and it isn't even a ***** thread, its a random chat thread, the object of the thread isn't to get your count up, its to have somewhere to go and chat.
it even states in the first post of the thread:

Honestly Who cares? I mean look at it this way:
If you have alot of posts then you probably help out alot on this site or something along those lines or you do alot of whoring but most of the time the whoring goes on in the dungeon anyway... so only the premis get that benefit...
but i mean yes sometimes it does prove if your a newb or not if you dont have alot of posts.... you have to think about what kind of posts are they and are they usable and intelligent..
I motion not to do anything because I like how it is now....

We don't have a chat room, and when we did it sucked...
No history, no pictures, goes too fast, cant keep track of convos. With a thread, you can come in and say hey, then go back whenever someone else posts.
Post count means nothing more then you post...
