Individual forum differences

The title does not really describe what i mean, but its the best way i could think of lol

Why is it in the Music and entertainment board, it says at the bottom that you can not post towards you post count?

Not that im bothered about it, but just wondered why?

Thanks

An executive decision was made by Pete about the spamming that was going on to boost post counts as some people thought it important (it isn't, tis quality not quantity, in fact there are some people here with a mere 2 stars under their name that I'd sooner listen to and learn from than people with 5 stars and a heap of posts.... ironic as I'm probably one of the worst offenders and a lot of my posts have been in the joke forum).

I agree, post counts are not important, was just having a look around this afternoon and noticed it.  Thanks for the explaination

Mods are like Yellow Pages..... not just here for the bad things in life Tis now time to go back to reading Fly Fishing by J. R. Hartley 8-)

It may just have been an experiment - but I have no recollection of changing that board nor can I see any reason why THAT board - which makes me think someone (& not me because post counts are not an issue with me either way) may have been experimenting....

Pete it must have been one of those Friday evening discussions in the Admin forum 'cos I have a vague recollection about you saying you'd stop the post count on the Entertainment forum

Yup, I do remember a discussion about it. No, it wasn't me

Only just noticed this thread ........... There was a conversation about removing the post count from some of the forums mainly to stop "post count bumping" threads such as "What music are you listening to."

I'll hold my hands up ...... I stopped the post count for the Music forum ..... quite frankly I'm amazed it took so long for anyone to notice, let alone mention it. It can also be noted that the speed at which the What music are you listening to thread was growing has significantly slowed.

quality not quantity
