Get rid of post your... junk threads

[Sian]

I don't mind them myself, but I completely see why you guys don't want it anymore and I would quite happily see them go as you guys are wanting proper conversational threads!

Search the What are you watching thread for the word 'news'.

What annoys me is that these people are free to do this, but you try and have a discussion with someone that involves more than one word, and you'll get a pointless post edit.

ok calculating my posts in these threads

33 + 21 + 2 + 11 = 67 i'm a real ****** forum member you all are spamming pests

[scottish]

yeah, it's illogical to infract or warn people who are pointless posting outside of this, because the post might be off topic but it's still contributing towards a discussion, then allowing these people to post junk like that and get away with it

Either allow anyone to get post count everywhere (spam generates the most discussion let's be honest) and remove the pointless posting rule (to an extent, obviously replying kfmwoekfmweof is pointless still and against rules) OR remove the specific post your.. threads that are clearly heavily abused.

You guys always want something to moan about. This is like the 3rd or 4th time you lot have brought this up, it's not harming anyone and I don't see how someone have 1, 50 or 500 posts in a thread matters in the slightest, it's literally just looking for something to complain about.

*Waits for Kardan to make a dozen threads to somehow make a point*

[FlyingJesus]

Been proven time and time again that it's just done for post count; there's no discussion in the threads (in fact, discussion isn't allowed since supposedly it moves the thread off-topic) and the only arguments against getting rid of them or the post count in them are "THEY'VE BEEN AROUND FOR AGES" like slavery or "WHO CARES ABOUT POST COUNT" which surely means they should have no problem with the proposed changes
We saw it with forum games as well which are now infinitely less active since removing the post count

why would i post my junk
