You should have posts in the "Introduce Yourself" part not count towards your post count. It's easy for people to just go in there and reply with some form of "welcome" and get a lot of posts. I've mesed around whith phpBB before, so I'm pretty sure there's a way to do it.

**Quahog Crazy** · 02-19-2006, 12:17 PM

yeah. but then the new members wouldnt get a post

**IpHa** · 02-19-2006, 12:19 PM

So what? It's just one post.

**shadok** · 02-19-2006, 12:24 PM

Better idea, lets just have a sticky that says Posts must be more then five words or something...When yournew somewhere its nice to have somewhere to start.

**alvarezw** · 02-19-2006, 12:27 PM

Yeah, I Think im gonna do that! Thanks for the Tip!

Now I just have to figure out how to do so!

**playmenow** · 02-19-2006, 12:38 PM

erm...look in the mods directory...i'm sure theres one for this

**Quahog Crazy** · 02-19-2006, 01:44 PM

it's in the forum configuration section. but im not sure exactly where

**king-re0-coker** · 02-19-2006, 01:45 PM

Also how about the trash bin being post count free?

Can move any rubbish threads there and if they want to continue talking drivel, they can do so without their post count increasing....

**shadok** · 02-19-2006, 01:59 PM

Isnt their already one of those?

**Quahog Crazy** · 02-19-2006, 02:21 PM

yeah, but's a good idea

**Thug Lyfe** · 02-19-2006, 03:16 PM

i think its ridiculous stopping ppl from getting their post numbers....this will not only hurt the site but stop ppl from joining and posting

**playmenow** · 02-19-2006, 03:55 PM

yeah...only the trash bin shouldn't be counted

**Quahog Crazy** · 02-19-2006, 05:00 PM

yes. the only reason people join is to get a post count. and you are trying to stop them

**playmenow** · 02-19-2006, 05:04 PM

and you should stop spamming...the answer for this thread is NO The "Introduce Yourself" forum's posts will be counted. Alright? If ROXR wants to count thee post in their introduce yourself forum (and that have lots of members joing & posting there), why to stop it here?

Thats pretty rich coming from you.

And incase you havent noticed, this isn't roxr, and just because one forum may be successful using one method, doesnt mean all have to adopt the same.

This place is new and no matter what rules are put in place im sure the members count will increase, still early days for this.

Also i dont like the way you are answering some people, your a mod, so atleast show a little repsect to users who are trying to come with ideas which they think will improve the site.

amen to that brother!!! mods gotta chill and stop enforcing so many rules

**Duality** · 02-19-2006, 07:32 PM

Yeah, you're right king-re0-coker the mod should be at least a little nicer. I like this idea. Everyone is just posting "hey" and "welcome" to increase ther post count. I would rather my members earn a free domain instead of having 1 word responses.

well if he opened his domain site then he gotta give us domains so why be so cheap about it? i mean if you enforce too many rules, it'll take upto months just go get enuff posts for a domain....who would want that?and everythin will mostly be considered spam then....ppl will argue over it, get banned and its gon keep continuing....

**Duality** · 02-19-2006, 07:36 PM

No...all you need to really do is stop posting 1 word psots. Not you Aakash but the other people on this forum. All I see around are like 5 word responses and that would make it too easy to get a free domain. Like I know you're supposed to get one but I think it is kind of cheap taht people are posting so little and are getting such big prizes.

**alvarezw** · 02-19-2006, 08:06 PM

Ok I will come to the decision myself!

I will also talk to my moderators!
