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.

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....

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.

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....

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.
