    This will probably make a few people angry, but I thought I'd suggest it anyways. ^_^

    I suggest turning post counts off in Newbies, or enforce a "No copy/paste" rule, because that's what a lot of people do. It's the same welcoming for every newbie... barely anything personal. :X


    So yeah, thought I'd suggest that, because it's kinda annoying... and more of a "Let's get post count up! Post in Newbies!" forum than anything else.
     
    I actually like this idea!!! This will prevent people from just posting in there for more posts.
     
    I agree on the 2nd part, but when it's the same one that welcomed 20 other people... what good is it?


    Edit: You took it out. o_o
     
    Yes you are right.I know a member (whose name will not be said) who has posted the same welcomeing post everytime.So you are right Jkaizer.But i don't think the mods will like this thread.
     
    *shrugs* I thought I'd suggest it. And it's happened to some threads... so why not suggest it fro the full forum?
     
    You do got a point there.Welcoming the person is the main point of the thread.But not a lot of people do it for post count.

    Eh, I think quite a few people do actually.

    If they wouldn't, why can't they post an original welcome message?
     
    Eh..I like it.A good friend likes to post in welcome...and has gotton over 500 posts doing it.

    Which shouldn't be the reason he's posting in there. --;
     
    I think so too ,that's why I said not a lot but I meant some.

    *confused* So do you agree with the idea or not...?
     
    I do agree 100%. I just said I think few do post for the count,but most means to welcome.Sorry if you're confused.
     
    Lets just put it this way.I don't care if posts count there or not.I think all posts should be turned off then no one would go crazy about losing posts or worried about racking them up.
     
    I sort of agree about the post count idea, but not all so about the copy and paste rule. I mean, people should try to make their messages different every time, but does it really matter what people post to welcome a newbie (except if its flaming, spamming, .etc.)? Woof~

    I like to have the basic count there, it's nice to see how much time I've spent here. :P


    Edit: The Copy/Paste rule is an alternative to the Post Counts Off. Because copy/pasting = spamming in my mind. Moreso than the threads kicked from OC to Funtime.
     
    I think there may be a poll on this.
     
    Greg has a point there. From what ive seen, many people post there with same posts just to gain posts counts.
     
    You can't actually go ahead and pre judge a person like that. I mean unless -every- post they have in that ever is the same, then there's no way of knowing if they are trying to be nice or not.

    But I say it might be worth it actually.
