Oh for god sakes guys, if you're going to have a discussion, have it maturely, and try to do it without "flaming" people. (Note: Flaming is in brackets because it isn't quite flaming, more like over-the-top rudeness, XD)

Anyways, yes, I know some staff are obsessed with post count, and it's easy to see just which ones as well. However, like I said earlier, everyone utilizes post count as they wish, if at all. I'm surprised the issue of post count brought so many other things up in this thread as well >>

Who cares about a silly name? We all know who I'm talking about... -.-; Point and case. People have different preferences. I don't care about PJ, Paul, PokeJungle, whatnot. Obviously you do.

Respect others opinions.
Let me clarify that with a few minor fixes:

I'll respect your opinion by calling you what you want to be called, Benjamin. But I'd like you to try to see post count the way I do =/

Is this even worth arguing about? I find post count to be a negligible factor in my PC experience but even those who do certainly get a bit of a morale boost from it. The two sides are acting like post count is some sort of great benevolent/malevolent force that somehow holds the fate of the forums in its hands. The way in which post count does the most harm is right here, in these sort of topics, where people become so vitriolic about such a moot point. Post count is what you make it--to each his own. We've gone over this point and others many times other: post count isn't a barometer for popularity/mod eligibility, it might cause n00bs to spam, it might not cause n00bs to spam, it's good, it's evil; haven't we all heard this before?

Just everyone be glad to have it but be reminded and remind others not to abuse it. That's what it always boils down to.

Please, people, we have bigger fish to fry here. This is doing nothing but causing hurt feelings =/

Meh...I just find it that with the case in MFC people were more or less just spamming to get post counts up, that's why we had to turn it off. Now that post counts are off, people actually take the time to make a better post, somewhat at least, the only other place I've seen like that right now is OC, but that probably won't get anything turned off.

Kaga- What did you expect from me?! This is the kid who made "PC ~ A Broken Community" last year XD I'm incredibly detail oriented. Break down the problems into smaller parts. This is a smaller part of what could be a larger problem ^_~

Actually...this is me bringing up a topic that's been bugging me. Awhile ago I got flamed by members and staff about liking post count. I'm aiming to get our community more acceptive about people who *gasp* actually CARE abou their post count.

What I said wasn't directed at anyone, I just felt like swooping in and saying something neutral XD I don't remember the Broken Community work, but I bet it was good, because PC was SO BROKEN last year x_x I'm actually leaning toward your side of the argument :D

I though this place was to have fun.Not care about Post count or Reputaion. :/
Why, I think a lot of people would say that it's part of the fun, albeit a minor part. PC is so much more than these two little bells and whistles that it's easy and fun to acknowledge that they're there but not be obsessed with them. I'd say that describes most of us here ^_^

Like I said before, post count is neither good nor bad. It's merely here for our convenience :D
