Question About Post Counting

cavebear · January 13, 2001, 20:26

I recently hit King level, and (oddly) I have a gripe about that.

I wandered into the OT forum a week ago, and racked up some 50 posts (or so it seemed to me) in one night. My point is that the OT threads operate nearly like a chat room due to the number of people posting and the conversational nature of the subjects being discussed.

I don't think that OT posts should count toward Prince/King/Emperor/etc levels. For one thing, it is too easy, for another, it doesn't really mean anything in Civ terms.

I request that OT post counts be isolated from the rest of the forums (and retroactively is fine).

Just think... all the spammers that care about post count would then start spamming the On Topic Forums then

You really don't want that do you

They have tried this- it didn't work.

Sorry, but the answer to this question is no. As DC alreay stated, we tried something similar to this in the recent past and it didn't work.

This case is closed.

Thread will be closed in ~24hrs... reponses to this decision are fine, but please keep them civil.

seriously, it didn't work? what did they do? complain! that's all! if you admins would have gone the hard line, they'd have shut up after a week or so and accepted it... but so, as you gave in...

Post before closure.

Also posting for an example.
