    It doesn't coun't in the OT as it is mush easier to spam up the PC there, but many of the vets have posts counted from the OT. I purpose their PC should be reduced to reflect that.

    The rules changed with the upgrade to vBB from UBB.

      The idea is that this is a Civ site. If you want a postcount post on-topic. Funnily enough, it often seems especially the OT'ers are concerned about their postcount.

        Why doesn't Markos hack vB and adds two post counts, one with OT posts included, and one wit only on topic posts (recounted)

        Then we could get a % on topic value for each poster, and if that is less then 50% an alternate title system (lets call it OT-titles) would be used. (Or the titles in OT could be based on the OT posts (not including on topic posts)

        That would make the OT-poster so happy...

        Now when does Markos have the time for this?

            I say, custom avatars for all (or time specific), post count for none!.

                That would be a great idea, but the alternative title system should really only used if the you have really less than 50% on-topic posts. Not two titles, that would mean for me on-topic: Prince, off-topic: Newbe

                I think you should do something for a costum avatar, by the way if you just wait one year you get one.

                    Giving the OT a seperate post count would defeat the anti-spam diablement of the post count reason----> however it would be a nice feature

                      Custom avatars for all! Imagine what it would be like:

                      Birds would fly through perpetually blue skies, singing!
                      All over the world, soldiers would put down their weapons and embrace their former enemies!
                      It would be like heaven on earth!

                          IMO, OT posts should count for something, even if its not as much as on topic.

                            Perhaps a post in the OT should count -1.

                            Or how about 0.00001? That way you can see both postcounts in one number.

                            But then again, it´s fine just the way it is now... Ban all non-Civing people!!
