If people truly are just doing it for post count, why not just turn it off in that forum, like FTiP?
 
Welcoming every member? Wow! I dont even wleocme myself, well I only visit there around once every two weeks for like three posts or so, but when i posts I always change it and never say the same.
Turning it off... well... isn't that place also where most newbies gain their first posts?
 
If people care about there post count that much then let them have it.It's not hurting anyone.
I mean I welcome a member here and there.
 
Greg, post counts are not going anywhere. It's not hurting anyone, and no one has actually PMed me, the MOD of that area with any complaints. And I am there a lot, I don't see anyone getting mad or annoyed at people doing this. Like Andy said, you can only come up with some many ways to say 'hello' that after a while it -will- sound like copy/paste no matter what.

Honestly, do you see people besides yourself complaining? I've never seen a new user complain of a post that looks like another one, have you? No. So as I see it, there is no problem. You're turning what people do to try and be nice into something else, so just drop it already.
 
Geez. Is it just me, or are you guys taking this way too personally? I don't see why you're acting as if he truly offended you, since he was just making a suggestion.

Anyways, I wouldn't mind if post count was gone in the newbie lounge, but people might stop posting as much in that forum (even though you do have a point about FTiP). Also, if Blue says that it isn't really spammy in there, then I don't see what this will accomplish. It was nice of you to show concern for the forum, though. =)
 
This thread makes me ashamed to be on this staff. It was just a suggestion. Why we all couldn't calmly discuss it, without pulling external matters in is beyond me. This thread is about new users, not ranks.

JK, why don't you make a new thread about it, and we'll just roll through it one idea at a time, no multiquotes? I think it kinda works best that way.
