Post count changes - Page 2

**Betamax** · April 6th, 2002

Nope. A rating system like that was tried a few months ago and it didn't work.

**Dark Watcher** · April 6th, 2002

Well done Bobbi and Admin team...

The Watcher has graced these forums for 10 months...since then we have achieved 300+ posts and a title of "Emulation Expert" and 4 stars.....At this rate it would appear to take us a full year and half to achieve what took most of you a few weeks....

So what.....We know that every single post has helped someone in some way...so in a sense the "Emulation Expert" title is quite fitting is it not?

Er.....looks like we got promoted

Big deal if you have 1000+ posts especially if they had little to no point....It's not like Bobbi will mail ya a big NGEmu badge of honor and a box of chocolates....
(If we are wrong then we will begin posting nonsense...Bobbi we enjoy Dark Chocolate and Peanut butter...send it to our cave anytime

)

By the way...If you have 1000+ posts but have been here for like ..er..ever....then obviously this doesn't apply to you...hahaha

as far as the BAN thing...well...just don't piss anyone off...then there is nothing to worry about....If you do feel the need to upset people the please enjoy the no expense paid 30 day vacation ![

**Kane** · April 6th, 2002

Oh, I agree, Dark Watcher. Titles/ stars should be given on number of constructive posts. I'll be the first to admit I stray from the emulation forums, but I'd like to think that a good proportion of my posts are relevent and helpful.

Strider · April 6th, 2002

ive seen a lot of lord kanes posts, he's helped a lot of ppl in the epsxe forum, hell, most of the time i didnt know what he was talking about but knew he was being somehow helpful

Auri87 · April 6th, 2002

now my posts will drop to about 200 cuz most of my posts were off topic

anyways great job guys and im looking forward to it

Nezzar · April 7th, 2002

Ooh, a question just popped up in my mind. Will *every* part of the OffTopic Sectionbe without postcounting? I think the software, hardware and web development should stay the way they are. In this forums people get help and not (maybe) useless discussion.

**Shiori** · April 7th, 2002

I second that.

**Bobbi** · April 7th, 2002

Software and Hardware discussion won't be affected by this new rule.

April 7th, 2002

I see the post counts are gone ..
maybe now ppl wont mind it and start actually helping people ..

PS : Lord Kane has helped to more people than everyone at least
since im here ... Thumbs Up !

Gamer-X · April 7th, 2002

How much star I got?

Nezzar · April 7th, 2002

Hey, I just noticed it's still possible to view the postcount by accessing the profile.

[edit:] What is the maximum star count? Still 7 for normal users?

**Snake785** · April 7th, 2002

I have a question. If you post a useless post/thread in either Off-Topic or Test/spam, will they give you more ban points? I ask this cause they don't bring you're post count up. Especially in the Test/spam forum.

[edit] Oh, I have another question. On the members page, will the Top 10 posters link still be there? Since post counts are hidden, will this be hidden as well?

**Shiori** · April 7th, 2002

Ban Points only apply to misplaced posts. So watch where you post, people!

And yes, You can still see the rankings in the Members page. So far i'm still Number 2.

**Snake785** · April 7th, 2002

Oh, so if they are misplaced that goes to you ban points. That's good cause i never misplace my posts.

I can see the members' list as well (I'm 47th btw, and slowly climbing on that list

), but I wanted to know if they are going to hide it.

**Zephon** · April 7th, 2002

Totally agree with this new system. The stars are there to show how the person is useful, not how fast he can chat. The new ban system will be quite good also, and I hope this will be implemented soon.

A big change for the boards, but a change for good.

hehe, I missed the Location under our names.

**Kane** · April 7th, 2002

I'm still 4th, and I think that's the way it'll stay.

Neojag · April 7th, 2002

sweet, im just glad to be back to Mordor

**Thorgal** · April 7th, 2002

Yeah, good to see location's back and replaces the postcount - which is something none of us should actually pay much attention to imho. As was said in " A lonely night - part II", it's the quality of the posts that counts, not quantity. Hell, if there'd be a way to measure the number of lengthy posts a member posted, I'm pretty sure I'd be at the top of the list

April 7th, 2002

i still think its nice to see our post count ,
the new one that is , which should be %100 spam-proof .

**Snake785** · April 7th, 2002

You can still see it. Just look in your profile.

[edit] Now the post counts are hidden in your profile.
