No Post Count in Forum games

[Meti]

Hey,
I think it wasn't a good thing to change the forum games forum.
You should be able to get post counts from there, even if the mis-use the threads. If they double post or break the rules, mod's take care of it. If they post pointless, SMOD's will take care of it.

Many people will stop posting in that forum now. Just checked the forum, and only 1 thread was created yet.

I think you should re-set it to normal forum games rules.

Do you agree with me?

For any board to be strong you need to have a high post count total, without a forum games the forum's weekly posts will decline and let other forums to take over Habbox's place on the boardreader ranks. I say for the good of the forum to leave it as it was as there's a forum games sections on almost all board (They don't get abused as much as it does here) but they still get used alot and that's where most of the forum total posts are found, just should of left it how it was.

What usually happens to normal people during the day from about 9-5 / 9-3? I wonder, could it be work or education, could it mean that very few people are on the forum because their not sitting on their computer? absolutely.

The forum games is a easy way to get your post count up, taking advantage of features that higher level post counts get, its very unfair if a member spends their time helping/constructively posting to get to use a feature through time, then some sad-addicted kid comes on the forum and gets 1000 post counts in a week.

It's really idiotic.

I very much doubt the forum games will get changed as the management agree'd (from what nvr posted im sure) and also vast majority of members agree'd its pointless and should have no post count.

So no, i don't agree

I only have around a 100 posts in there, was hoping to bag a few hundred more posts before it went but sadly I did not

Theres always the welcome/leaving threads

I'm still of the opinion that the post counts from the forum games should be removed. Most of the people who strongly disagree with that are the people whose post counts will go from 10,821 to 821.

All the previous posts made in there will still count towards post count. Its just new ones will not, simple

It's a good idea for a few reasons - 1) The User Promotion System works on post count. You get better features and climb up the ranks for making a positive contribution. Posts words, or simple posts which dont really have any structure means that people are getting better features for nothing whereas members who are really making an effort are getting left behind. MissAlice is a good preacher for this one; its the quality not the quantity of posts that count. 2) A lot of the threads in spam are more constructive than those in forum games! Forum games are just something to do when you're bored, or there isn't much to do. They are time killers. Your post count goes up in the forums where posts are contributing to the community. Forum Games just dont have good enough quality posts to deem it necessary to raise your post count. In my opinion it was a great decision, and I will have to conclude that I disagree with you Meti!

I'm glad it has gone.

If people stop posting now, it just goes to prove that they were only in it for the post count. If we aren't allowed "post your" threads anymore, then it only makes sense to get rid of the post count in forum games as well.

But I liked the game "Write with your nose"

Now I can't play it anymore

Joking.

I still think it should be set back. What about all the good games?

It wasn't even affecting anyone by having post counts rise in there, it's a lot worse with people having long discussions in one thread, I don't wanna use anyone as an example but that WWE thread, there are 3-4 people really intrested in it and they've got about 200+ posts each just in that thread discussing a game they're looking forward to.. It's stupid for taking away post count from the games, yeah.
