Hey i was just wondering y post dont count in the Community Forums?? If anyone has a good answer to this please speak up bc honestly that is BS!!

Because you can get easy post counts in those forums. For Ex- The forum games that are like one word are easy posts. Those are not really posts so they dont count. I would be 220 posts higher if my birthday topic counted posts, but its in the community forum.

Yeah I agree. They should count. I mean Spammers get banned anyway, so its not a big deal. And honestly - there isn't THAT much to talk about that is only PKI related. This is a community site - so posts should count in all categories. I mean like I said especially in the offseason - there isn't anything about PKI to talk about.

And someone once said post count is a way of telling who the contributing members are. Well some people on this site make most of their posts in the community forums. And they are not spam. They are intelligent and contributing posts.

Why not make community forum posts count - and then just make a forum for games that doesn't count?

It's actually very simple:

Being a PKI community, our goal is to have open discussion about PKI. The community forums are there just so you can post about other things, but is a side of the forums that's definitely a byproduct.

Now, although the post count is entirely meaningless in your abilities, a lot of people take it seriously, so if you're going to have a high post count, it's because you're an asset to the PKI side of discussion (being a PKI board). This also prevents spamming.

All in all, it's the way it's always been and seems to work.

Does that clear things up?

Does it really frickin matter Brandon. Rivertown people and their darn "post count"....

Honestly i think its still bs that people take this stuff so seriously

Were you not the one who created this topic?

I understand why you do it - but it kind of sucks that those of us that actually want to talk about things besides PKI don't count... Of course people like GigglingGreenGhost and Scooby Doo - where all they talk about is PKI - they are going to have massive post counts...

Agreed. Then again, we could go to another park fan site and have our posts count.
