    Also, when the Post Count addition feature was taken away from the OT, I dedided that I would not visit the OT as often.
    Doesn't just prove the point that post counts have an effect on forum behavior, which is not exactly what we want here? So long as there are post counts and people want to post to boost their count, forumming won't be going about as naturally as possible.

      Why does it matter if someone wants to boost their post counts. There are adequate anti-spamming measures and punishments in place, and the balance on Apolyton was pretty good! Post-count democratisation pah!

          Get over it. The posts in the OT don't count anymore so where is this massive spamming comming from. I can't talk for the rest of the forums, but in the AC forums no one that I have seen spams to increase their post count. Posts are always on topic. You civers may have a problem with spam, but not us SMACers.

            Well I'll re-iterate my proposal: why not just get rid of post counts all-toghether? Then there's no need for mods battling post-count related spam. (not all spam is because of post counts)

            And Mark and Dan would no longer have to stand all the whining related to this topic.

                The title system is just a little fun. And encourages people to stay loyal to and visit Apolyton. It also fits in well with the Civ theme. Lighten up!

                BTW, the sex of you title is changed on request, so that point is technically incorrect.

                Lots of your points are just PC nonsense.

                No Marxist revoulutions at Apolyton please...

                  Hey I don't care whether the mods and the site owners are cruel tyrants or not and I certainly don't mind the titles. (I'm emperor after all)

                  I just find that killing post counts would have practical advantages: no more post counts related to spamming, or rules fighting that (the less rules the better) and no more whining about post counts cuts or whatever.
