Yes, this thread has been extremely entertaining, but this thread has no real purpose anymore.
Anyway...
We seem to have two threads about the same subject now. This and the one called "The forum."

All posts in all other forums, except for the OTF, are counted to your post count, unless they are deleted. I.e. posts in this thread are also counted in your post count.

You can already choose a nice and neat avatar from the collection of several hundred different avatars.

If you do start such a thread, don't be surprised to receive a 100% PCR (post count reduction).

/me leaves the thread untouched for now.

Actually, that situation is in the faq. He was proposing a "Get to 500" thread (thats when you can get a custom avatar), but I got the penalty wrong. Its only 10%, not 100%.

Reminds me of DC's "I'm now an Emperor thread" in the OT. A swift moderator response meant that, among other things, the thread title was no longer accurate.

Waaaaay OT;
I was attempting to be fecitious, however irony does not translate well into text. As I am not even bothering to use an avatar I thought the point would be made. Guesse not. Feel free to PRC me I'm happy being a settler/Lurker (any way of getting that title?)

Which means, it should be "Get to 550"-thread...
Or if you go for it with one 'swoop', it should be "get to 556" - thread

I was wondering though, how can somebody be spaming in the OTF? Isn't that the sole purpose of that forum? There are some interesting threads....
So long...

OT is not the same as spamming. You should know that.

The most blatant spam is in post counting fora that the Mods seldom visit. *cough*Nationstates*cough*

Yeah what is the deal with the unmoderated forums Mark? Can't you get someone active and trustworthy within each forum to keep tabs on things?

I don't recall what site has it, but one large community has a special forum dedicated for spam. Although the posts don't increase the post count. They even have official spamming competitions.  The other forums (including the real OTF) do increase the post count and are moderated as normal.

...So I discovered.
-
Please, heed Big Crunch and my warnings- DONT announce your level! Even if you are planning to do other things with the thread!
and the thread was titled "Bow the the Emperor"
...a clever title if I must say myself
