    No, but I should get the 1500 post counts that were wrongfully taken away from me

      another option to make it far for all the newbies posting here that no longer get PCs for Offtopic is to subtract all the Offtopic PCs from the current users...

        I don't really care one way or another.

        My own preference is to do away with post counts all together, retaining only functional titles for 'Poly staff and volunteers, and special titles for special people (e.g. Troll Machine ).

        BTW orange just after I put you on the Missing Apolytoners' List you surfaced. I wonder if you did that intentionally

          Also could I get the 200 or so posts I did since the new rule came into affect? It hurt poor little non-spammers like me

              Any mods care to post on this?

                Not so fast...

                First you need to discount the spammers. We don't need anything to encourage them. Then, you need to include the "don't care" as against, since they are not interested in changing the status quo.

                So you have 16 for and 19 against.

                  The don't cares are not against it. If they were, they would have posted to "no, the OT has been better off without it" not "I don't care because I don't care about post count". If you don't care about post count, than that means you don't care either way. If you want to count the spammers as against, fine...

                  18 for, 12 against, 11 don't care.

                    The truth of the matter is, there is less spam in the OTF with the new rule in force. Therefore, even though I don't care about post counts, I'm for the rule.

                    If you want a valid pool, there should only be two choices:

                    - Restore post count in the OTF
                    - Do not restore post count in the OTF

                        One thing overlooked in the heated discussions: If posts in the spam forum count towards post count, most everybody there would quickly reach deity. Once all are deity, they'll start DLs just to be different.

                        Post count and title are silly things to be concerned about, IM-not-so-HO. If your posts are substantive, great. If not, you'll be ignored, no matter what your title.
