I Have A Question.

Hi,I have been viewing The "New Users Welcome" section of PC and i have noticed that people are copying and pasting the same message over and over again.I think it is very annoying beacause i think they are just trying to get their post up.Can't we stop post count in that area and just see what happens.

Thanks,

Good point.
It's always the same thing... "Welcome to PC! Follow the rules, post a lot, eat cheese and have fun!"
They probably don't even take the time to see the first post and who joined... >.>;

t3h post count must go, otherwise no pickles for you all! >:3

Yes thanks for agreeing let's see what they do without their Post Count.

Nope, let's see what they (the staff) says first! XD

It's not us who decide, although we might agree with you... o.o *pokes a staff member to come and see*

I've thought about that too for quite sometime. I agree with you. I used to always post the same thing but I realized it was unfair. I now post a random message and a comment on something like: Nice username or nice banner.

That's good Coolmaster.

Well looks like no signs of a staff member tonight.I'm off to bed now.XD

I agree with you all too. But I was also posting the same things over and over again for sometime before but no I have stopped it now. I only post randoms now.

I just realized that if we make those changes, my post count will drop by about 100 and so will lots of other people.

Nobody without intelligence problems cares. You aren't your postcount. And if the decreasing of a mere number in your profile is so important to you, I feel sorry for you.

Oh, and while we're on this subject, I'd like to suggest the same for the following forums too:

Other Chat
Mixed Community Groups
Community Questions & Feedback
Pok?mon General

The most postcount-spammed forums. Maybe disabling it in those forums will kill the obsession.

Other chat is fine... I guess? Apart from the DCC that ruins it all.... >_<
And I guess there is no option to disable the postcount in only a thread, is there? o.o;
Maybe it could be moved or something, but Other Chat itself has some interesting topics...

I completely agree about Mixed Community Groups, because it raises peoples' postcounts dramatically and none of the posts are actually relevant...

I do not think there is anything wrong with question and feedback, unless you can point out the problem to me, and I don't understand the problem in Pokemon General either... o.o

The problem with OC and PG is that they both have DCCs. (Even though that... basically defeats the purpose of the DCC in OC.) So, yeah, people spam in both places.

As for CQ&F, people often post threads in here with stupid/pointless questions.

Hardly anyone even posts in Pokemon Chit-chat.

Doesn't make it okay to co-exist with Daily Chit-Chat.

EDIT: ...WTF? There's almost 600 posts in Pok?mon Chit-Chat. -_-;

Not a bad idea, disabling post count here. This way we won't see "Hi, have fun, follow the rules, PM me if you want to be my friend!" type posts.

Does get rather annoying.

General... that probably won't happen until MCG or OC levels start up. Since there is a massive amount of posts in the Pokemon DCC (If you think 600's a lot for how long it's been there for...) The other three I'll bring up in HQ, so... we'll think about it.

Personally, I would agree with all (bar PG) but I know of a few higher staff that might not be so easy to persuade :P

...Gah, how could I forget? Add Other Voting Polls to that list. And take down Pok?mon General if you wish; my recommendation for the aforementioned forum was based on the fact that it seemed a bit spammy, with all the random polls and whatnot (similar to why I suggested OVP).

The only section I think should be on that list is OC and MCG.

Why does this even matter? If someone wants to get more posts by posting the same message in New User Welcome, then let them. Plus if we get rid of post count there less people will probably post and when more people post it makes the new users feel Welcomed which is the whole part of the forum.

If this was already posted above...I don't care...I didn't feel like reading above.

sections*
And why so? Believe it or not, OVP is spammier than Other Chat, and CQ&F is constantly flooded with people asking near-rhetorical questions that they already knew the answer to. Either those people are extremely stupid, or they post for the number increment.

Is that the only reason you posted, because one member (read: you) felt it was unimportant?

I said the same thing a few months ago, then realised how idiotic I was. It's like saying, 'If a murderer wants to kill people so others fear him, let them.'

...Okay, wtf? We're supposed to care that people won't post any more just because a stupid number in their profile doesn't rise by doing so? Mmm, sad indeed.
