    Would it be a bad idea to have emblems for reaching a certain post count?
     
    ..yes?
    Rather useless.
    You get a blog for 5000 post (non staff/high supporter) aint that enough?
    To me just caring about post count is just a waste a time.
     
    I think it be cool, But it should only be for people after they reach 1k post and then every 1k after that.

    As far as caring about post...So what. There are a few people here that post count matters too.
     
    I don't see why not. For people that care about emblems and post count they'll be happy, and it won't make anyone unhappy.
     
    No. It would encourage people to pretty much spam & make lower quality posts just for emblems.

    I agree but we are for sure to get some people who are going to complain because they don't like people who care about post, I am infact atm working to pump out 25-50 post a day to reach 5000 or more post by end of year xD
     
    I don't like the idea.

    Disregarding that, it definitely shouldn't be every 1k. That's much too easy. And what about people like Forever and Lightning? HUGE post counts. They'd then get like... 50 or more emblems clogging things up. :|

    I'm pretty sure this has been brought up before, too.
     
    Wow. Some of you guys get so serious when someone suggests something. Calm your tits, yo.

    I don't mind emblems like that. If you have an emblem idea you want to get uploaded (the emblem itself, description, etc.) you can send me (or another staff member) a PM and if we like it, we'll bring it up to an admin to upload. It's usually just a matter of finding the right staff member.

    Edit: Though, I wouldn't support an emblem for every single K you manage to reach.

    There's an emblem for 10k, which is actually a huge feat. 1k isn't.

    Truthfully I don't think it would. There are people who will sit here hours at a time and post but there not doing it for the emblem there doing it for the post count. On top of that Pc doesn't have many no lifers here,It is made up of a lot of kids who have school,friends and other activitys and this is just a game to them, Same for the adults here they got work and so forth. So the chance of a new member or faily older one that is at like 100 or so post going to sit here and rack up post count to 1000 is very unlikely just for a emblem, If they do do it they do it for the post count.

    Off topic: I do agree that is a feat, I hope to get 10k post some time in 2012.
     
    Honestly, I'd typically have no issues with it except... that's a lot of emblems to hand out. :( There are loooots of people with 1k+ posts and since emblems are distributed manually... I don't think anyone would wanna hand those out retroactively. And even on a requesting basis, having to hand out like 10 emblems at once for someone with a lot of posts doesn't sound like fun.

    But I'd probably be up for uploading a 1k or 2k one and if people want it and meet the requirements, they could just ask a mod. But I can't agree to one every thousand. :( Too cluttered all around. I know 1k can be a really awesome milestone when you're starting out so I honestly have no issues rewarding it. ♥
     
    How about a 1K post count emblem, 5K post count emblem, 10k we have, 15k

    So on. Goes by 5k's after 1k.

    1K can be cool for newer members. Maybe there could be that.

    Based on my own experiences, an emblem every 1000 wouldn't work out, because people really do... post uh, lower quality posts if they're aiming for a higher post count quickly (I know I did D:) and I don't feel that emblems should be a reward for those who do so. :x

    Though 1000 would be fine imo if it's a one time thing and wouldn't encourage people to actively do that just for an emblem, which is my main concern.
     
    Technically, the 10k one is also for people that rack up a lot of posts within a short period of time, and it becomes requestable when you hit 10k. But honestly, I just don't think we need an emblem for every little thing like we seem to have now. There's literally an emblem for almost anything you can think of. I think what we have for posts is fine. You don't even need to hit 10k to get it. Just getting a bunch of posts in a short time (usually more noticeable with newer members) can get it if a staff member notices.
     
    I don't think we have a emblem for every single thing we can do on forums, because i only got 2 emblems and been here almost a year, if that was true i would for sure have more xD
     
    I like the idea (just passed by my 1000th post on applesauces :3), but an Emblem per every thousand posts would not only be time-consuming for staff to award, it might invite spammers (though I still think it's lame joining a forum and posting purely/primarily for post count D:).

    Attaining 1000 posts is definitely a milestone IMO. 5000 posts, possibly. 10000 posts, definitely, though we already have that. Although I'm wondering whether the interval should be every 5000 posts or every 10000 posts. The former limit seems more feasible for users to achieve (though it may occur a bit too often on PC), while the latter is much more respectable, however, only a select few users that I have seen have crossed 20000 posts, notably Forever and Lightning... And IIRC, no one has 30000+ posts yet. Not to mention that 10000 posts seems like it could take some years to achieve, while 5000 posts seems achievable in a few months' time or a few years' time. Personally, I feel that "every 5000 posts" might be a better interval... :\

    They're practically thrown around like coins, especially when we have get togethers and events. You get them just for participating essentially. But since you've had an absence for a while, that might be why you haven't gotten more than two.
