    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

        One nick change: bad, but acceptable.
        Another nick change: serious offence! Come on, we just got used to it. It being your former nick doesn't help at all...

          Then there are those that hated and then loved the new quote system

          People just don't like change it seems, then it grows on them.
          True......but Sagacious Dolphin was better IMO. Perhaps a blend? Big Dolphin......Sagacious Crunch......? Keep everyone happy.

                • I think that the number of words in a post should be counted rather than just whether somebody simply posts anything. Some of the mammoth documents/diatribes I've seen should be worth more than a smilie. Ethelred, for example, would have 'demon' status. Content could be judged by the impartial mods and added to the 'post score'. Then there could be some value placed on punctuation and spelling. Non-english speakers would have a big advantage in that regard due to their superior (i.e. having any) punctuation and grammer skills.

                    Long posts are alot more dificult for non native english people.

                      • So as members spam up every higher post counts do you think Markos will have to change the number of posts it takes to get to a given rank? Or maybe in a year or two he could great a new rank above diety since we'll have so many new dieties running around.

                          I have to disagree - threads like this with every other poster begging for a PCR will keep the current rank targets at a suitable level

                          • Like others, I look at the reg.date and the title when I judge a post by someone that I'm not familiar with.

                            • Post counts became meaningless when they started handing out PCRs and OT posts stopped counting (except for mods, lol).
