But is that not a very different issue from how post counts and titles work?

I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

According to the title of the thread it is the direct connection between the two that is the issue.
Higher post count equals higher title ranking.
Linking in time that a poster has been a member of Apolyton to their title progession would diminish spam.
The idea is to reach a happy medium in which posting is encouraged but not altogether rewarded for having done so in a releatively short amount of time. For those that feel that they have been wronged by such a suggested system they could petition for a title change from a member of the staff.

Interesting - I interperate the title differently - that it is saying that the number of Dieties etc is growing.
Well that sort of makes sense - the longer the site is in existance - and the longer people are members - the more Dieties there will be.
Simple maths really IMO.
So are we now saying that new members are not as valuable as old timers - and so must be placed under different rules, so as to hold them back from attaining the same "lofty heights" as the Ol' boys?

No, you didnt. If you had you would notice i specifically said i hadnt got that many posts because there was not such a high limit. I also mentioned the time limit.
if you want to stop terrorism; stop participating in it

Nah, if we adopted new rules just make them retroactive, you might lose some titles that way

Personally, I dont see why a post cou nt would bother anyone, it doesn't bother me, I simply occasionally post here or there..an occasional debate and assistance where required, a slight banter on a highly debateable subject.
This should be an issue where it doesnt bother people, as for title, what kind of title would be acceptable in this case?
