    No, it would just mean his posts would be less relevant.

      Less relevant? That would be a challenge given his preference for

      Of course, there's always the idea that a smilie's worth a thousand words.

          I think instead of avatar post dependance, it might be a time dependance. Wait thirty days and you can have an avatar. Yay

          I wish to get rid of post counts.

              We could handle you the way we handled Ras. Couple PCRs does the trick easy.

                Another way of handling it could be to remove any postcount related titles. That would remove the incentive to spam with the intent of getting +1's, without removing the postcount as such.

                  What would be the point of having a post count? When I am looking for advice on something to do with a CIV game, then the guy who has "diety" under his name gets a bit more scruitiny than the guy who has "settler".
                  Likewise, when we are talking about the community here, I pay more attention to the same because I know he has been around here a while and should be closer in touch with the pulsebeat of this community. If a "settler" starts saying change this and change that, is anyone going to really listen? If a "diety" does it then it at least gets a good read and a little thought from me. I think that post counts and titles are a good thing. One of the reasons we have mods with PCR power is to make sure that a spammer doesn't reach those levels simply through spamming.

                    The owners want to limit spam. But they like high traffic. Look how they brag when they get it. It is a bit of a Catch 22.

                      Sure they like high traffic... and yes, they want to limit spam. Those two ideas can work together. They truely want the "right" kind of traffic. This is a gaming site... and that's what it was intended to be.

                        agreed. Sometimes, the two ideas may conflict a little. Often not.

                          They can sometimes conflict... But both Mark and Dan have made it pretty clear that the on topic forums are the more important to them. Which makes sense, since it is a gaming site
