It seems to me that Mark, Dan, Ming & MLeonard are having to chase after threads specificly created to increase post counts. Some ppl consider that the higher their post count the better off they are. This means we have to put up with a bunch of spam both in this forum and within our threads. This spamming trend has been recently reinforced, certainly unintentionally, by the top brass around here by the inclusion of titles, Warlord, Prince, King, etc which are tied to post count, right? Not only is this a motivation to spam but is contrary to a healthy forum in my view as it will tend to drive away new ppl who have no wish to spam or to remain at the bottom of a social ladder they can't hope to climb without spamming. Maybe they just want to talk Civ in the Civ forums and then go chat w/ their friends a bit in the OT without being reminded that they are a Prince...maybe they play Civ at Diety and consider it an insult.
Let's lose the post counts and titles for the good of these forums which we enjoy so much. Let's look past our egos and do the right thing.
I'm interested to hear thoughts on this.
Let's keep this thread a spam-free zone.
