Is Skanky pretending he doesn't want the job?

Just finished another 1000+ characters post in the OT.
And I suddenly wondered, if someone types more than 100 chars in a post it can hardly be concidered as spam anymore.
'Cause no-one can be bothered to read them?
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment

er, you get the plus one anyway, Boris, no need to go over the top
You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.Comment

I guess there's a splendid irony in the fact that this thread is turning to a gratituous spamfest ...Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

I wonder about this from time to time, especially in the midst of a spamfest like we recently were graced with here. "Threads with posts about nothing, a summer replacement series...uncover the fine line between friendly, sometimes interesting banter and meaningless +1 tangents."Originally posted by CyberShy
What is the point of postcount anyway?
Two paraphrases come to mind...
"Imagine no more post counts, ...."
"I have a dream, that one day, posters will be judged by the quality of their offerings rather than the sheer number they can throw at the boards."
And this observation...
Post counts are like hitting in baseball. If folk would just focus on making contact, the batting average (PC) will take care of itself. And the game will be more fun for everyone. Fun things like watching as an active warlord gets kissed by a frog and becomes a prince (you know who you are )
It is obvious from the vitality of the OTF that having posts there count is completely unnecessary for it to thrive. Can the same be said for the rest of the site??

No benefits. (I'm already a subscriber)
Can get you banned for a week whenever you get drunk... (although that just tends to happen if you have other Polytubbies over)
No, I'm actually serious for once. Please, sit down until you recover from the shock.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

I'm still waiting. I already quit once so I obviously don't want the job!

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment

Through weeks of dedicated experimentation, I can confirm that "civilian" drunkness does not get you banned. As you can see, I can post now. Hell, if you need more proof just look at Rasputin.Originally posted by DrSpike

It was a tip o the hat to a recently active new prince...a bit of inside irony in a post about +1s. But, I would be the last one to name him.

What if all the energy and ingenuousness invested in such projects instead went to solving, say, world hunger or AIDS?Originally posted by Skanky Burns

I swear that the Apolyton Community now rots my brain way more than the OT. I'm starting to tend towards the campaign to abandon PCs* altogether.

Simple, but all inclusive answer to why posts do not count as +1 in OTF under any circumstances:
THIS IS A GAMING SITE
