You really don't want me to reach Deity do you?

[Alexander's Horse]

A 2000 post reduction when I'm 250 or so posts short of Deity?

Well, since it seems important to some people, the pcr is a form of deterrent.

Welcome back out of the corral.

No, f*ck that. A line has been crossed.

Yes, there's a distinct possibility that at least some of AH's double logins will reach deity before he himself will.

On a side note, it must be really tough being so important in one's own mind to believe that the admins would actually keep you from getting a title that doesn't matter at all...

Well, at least you miraculously got a week off. Can't have been for good behaviour though.

MtG, I like your strictness. But, what would you do about the spammers that never care about the post count? Vacation, probably? For me the reduction wouldn't hurt much, but a three day vacation would.

I don't care about the bullsh#t post count or the bullsh#t titles. That's the point.

Be honest, he was down on his knees begging, wasn't he?

[SuperSneak]

2000?!? OUCH.

That seems a bit excessive, doesn't it?
Are PCR's based on a percentage of total posts, or what?
I'd think a handy formula could be made, don't you?
Hell...I'd be a settler again.

Yes, I believe that PCR are a percentage, perhaps rounded off.

[MichaeltheGreat]

Yep, it was 20% rounded off.

Yes. And I already told MtG that I dont give a ****.

[MichaeltheGreat]

If people are the type who care vocally, then the pcr hurts - even if it's someone else like Horsie, the others will see it and their little post count implants will shrivel up at the thought.


For someone who doesn't care, I just vacation them.

Actually, Horsie did get off for good behavior - most people, if I talk to them by pm or ICQ afterwards, and they're reasonable, will get a reduction.

Some offenses, however, won't get any reduction, and if someone really gets an attitude, I might even increase it.
