Hi there Ted, its been a while. Your suggestion would help us tell those kinds of posters but their main objective is to get to the top of the hill, if you know what I mean. So to them it won't really matter how the post count is divided or shown. Thats my way of looking at it. I just think that certain forum areas (safety valve being the biggest one) should not count towards post count. There are a few other areas that should be grouped together and just not be counted. That way those that want to hang out there all day can do so but it won't pad their count.
this is why i posted this earlier,
my quote
a simple way to do this is to see if drd can block the post count add if posted in this Safety valve board ...
@Ireland---I must of missed your post, but thats exactly whats needed. Once certain areas no longer count I think many of the junk posts would stop on their own.

I like it. The thing is, the console forums are generaly a battleground for this type of stuff. As mik3h brought to my attention, some people do actually help in there, so they cannot remove the post counting from there, and subsequently, the n00bs can easily boost their post count/status.
I am all for removing any post counts related to this forum.
Had this been implemented a long time ago most of these POSTERS would STILL have newbie after their name.
Make them earn Higher membership status.
I'm sure if you put it to the vote then the only ones who would object KNOW WHO THEY ARE
@ gwen..did u get ur pc running right? -i agree membership should be based on post that help and not on mindless chatter. it would help if people would read a little before posting too.
Ok I think this one has come to it's end. Most of the regulars have had their say. There's really no point in rambling on about it, as that only adds to the problem. We'll just keep on doing what we do and hope for the best.
oh and Lethal..
