    For the people who care about post counts, a solution to the OT posts not counting.

    And since post counts, don't matter, then i don't see why anyone would object!

    When the current levels were created (emporer at 3000, diety at 10000, etc) that was when OT posts DID count. Therefore, since people post ALOT more frequently in the OT, it didn't matter as much.

    I think since OT posts don't count anymore (and it really doesn't matter if they do count or not) then to satisfy those few complainers, it would be good to at least lower the required posts for certain levels. To make up for only On Topic posts being counted.

    I'd propose the following

    Chieftan - 32
    Warlord - 100
    Prince - 500
    King - 1000
    Emporer - 3000
    Diety - 5000

    Some of those are the same as now, some are alot lower. What do ya'll think?

      A new solution

      Since the system now can tell how many posts / day one has made.
      We could utilize it too to create a new spuertitle.

      Example:
      If you have more than 20 posts/day you get the title: <b>Spammer</b>
      Since some, like MarkG and DanQ have own titles they aren't affected

          not being serious of course...

          Why don't we let titles depend on the amount of characters people type on average in each post? The 'heavier' their posts the higher the title.
          The highest title you could achieve would be "MichaelTheGreat", the lowest "Andz83".

          Characters that constitute a smilie of course wouldn't count, but periods would, to encourage people to end their sentences properly.

                Any one who ignores subject titles and didn't realise I was joking?

                "And for the idea of counting characters, what about people posting whole Newspapers ??"

                Well, in that case, let's hope it are interesting papers they post.

                We could appoint a post checker, who controls whether people are posting content that is relevant to prevent them from copying and pasting irrelevant articles etc

                [EDIT]: This post should be dated 3 hours later, after rixxe's.

                    be merciful and don't flame the n00b

                    this sure is alot of trouble to go to in order to monitor and regulate postcounting. if that's what floats your boat, go ahead. i guess i'm not the one "post-checking" and the like.

                    just don't interfere with my life goal of attaining the awe-inspiring title of "chieftan."

                      Read subject titles, it's for your own good

                      The site administrators could always hire more people. You have enough nutcases around here who are willing to do this for free.(they could also attract newbies with the prospect of an avatar without having to meet the standards)

                      It would be an investment in the quality of posts, almost without costs.

                          No the lowest title would be AH. I've seen countless posts of his that are

                            I don't believe in "Grandfathering".
                            Why not go back in the records and subtract the number of posts each poster has made on the OT, then adjust the ratings accordingly?

                              the "postcount = postcount + 1" thing is something i brought over from another forum. it is basically the reason for the inception of this thread. as FireDragon noted:
                              FireDragon:

                              it is annoying when people post to up their postcount. it was a failed attempt at a humor that should not have even been attempted. i have absolutely no tenure here, and i am st00pid.

                              that is all.
