PC: We Know Drama.
Posted October 4th, 2008 at 11:39 PM by Sammi
So much drama over a number on the postbit!
From what I understand from being here for so long (and from some of your threads), general concensus is that poscount = number on the postbit. That's all. It doesn't grant any of us infinite wisdom if we have 2k, 5k, 10k, ect. It's what's behind the posts that really matters.
Right?
Apparently, this is not so!
You're all being hypocritical to say postcount doesn't matter, and then go support anything like 10/4. For a bunch of people who think it's "just a number", apparently, this really isn't the case.
If you all confess that you're mature enough to see postcount =/= instant good member or respectability, then why are we fooling ourselves and saying some posts are worth more than others? Why shouldn't so-called spammy posts count if it's just a number? Why shouldn't it count if it means nothing more than you like to post around PC?
When you disable postcount, you're basically saying that postcount really does matter to you. Maybe it's not the number you have, per se, but you don't want those OT or Member Fanclub members to have more postcount than you becuase they ~spam~! Oh, noes! We could never have that!
...really, what's the big issue?
It's a number and ranking on a Pokémon forum. A Pokémon forum. Chances are that whatever postcount rank you have isn't going to change your life ten years down the road. Chances are members that post in OT/Member Fanclubs/Trade/Battle areas aren't going to become smart members because their posts don't count. Chances are if a member really wants that 1/2/5/10k, they're going to find somewhere that does count for posts. Their quality isn't going to change unless they want it to.
Some numbers might matter, but PC postcount isn't one of those. It's not going to get you anywhere in life. It'll be the experiences that you have here that'll matter, if at all.
Disclaimer: I'm not here to start a TURN ON POSTCOUNT EVERYWHERE! revolution. I'm here to rant. That's all.
With that done, let the dogpile begin! :D
To take away some of that srs bsns feeling in your mouth, I suggest a good cat macro. Or maybe you'd prefer something more serious...
