Would be good if post counts exclude the leisure lounge (Not digging at Neo I'm serious). In fact I'd have a pretty crap post count if you did that but it would show how trusted a member is for giving advice better.

Maybe that's not possible though and if not I reckon they should be there as they are.
 
no richard i would have to disagree with you there, for some reason and even neo has admitted it he is after getting the highest post count, so if you had the post count in other sections and not LL then it would encourage spamming in those areas for those who have a post count goal and it would be a pain for us mods to control.

This was discussed a while back when we had a problem with spamming, but recently it has got out of control, we dont mind fun threads but some of these are just created for upping peoples posts counts or some threads are being abused for the same purpose.
 
Hmm OK then - but I still think a post count is better than no post count.
 
the point of no post count is to ease the amount of spam, would you personally prefer to read pages and pages of rubbish, it looks bad for the forum, maybe it will be brought back when things calm down - i have no idea, we will just see how it goes :)
 
Its a shame this has had to be removed too, in essence it is a good thing, new users can see at a glance who is a regular, trolls like Samico & Roger are easier to spot, whereas now they stand a chance of being taken more seriously.

But, there is always going to be a competetive element to it, perhaps though it should be kept a bit more to yourself, not discussed sooo much, if it is your burning ambition to be top poster, fine, but just don't make a big thing about it, and especially don't go on about the rate at which you need to pass everyone etc, it just shows you are posting for posting sake, which is pure Spam (n)
 
I do agree James. Although in answer to your question Sam I don't have a problem with the amount of Spam on the forum, mind you I don't read all the threads. Also I don't think taking away the post count will actually affect the amount of "spam".
 
Spam...

I think it will, a few people have been spamming on here a lot lately, with the clear intention of increasing their post count ;)
