What post count? I don't see any post count.
GRPG and GG forums are clogged up to high heaven with shitposts that serve no purpose and even worse, are just dull. Christ, I almost miss Andhaira for god's sake, we joked about his inanity but some of his posts were like classic comedy compared to the level we have now.
If you tell other people what to do it's not going to change. The change must come from within each person. You could for example think is shitposting really a worthy contrubution or is it possible to do something better? I think it is. That's why we are here now. Our ancestors didn't want just to shitpost, they wanted a better life so they invented things like computers and democracy. We could also make things better, it can be hard but not impossible.
There's your problem. You're reading posts in the gaming forums. If you want the best posts, only read GD and Politics. The REAL RPGCodex.
Yesis shitposting really a worthy contrubution
Noor is it possible to do something better
You must have missed the Usenet eraOur ancestors didn't want just to shitpost

Democracy was founded upon slavery, much like shitposting was founded upon asynchronous forms of communication like forums.and democracy
I agree with you bro. C'mon, gimme an e-hug.We could also make things better, it can be hard but not impossible.
I don't think post count is what motivates even 1% of the shitposting here. I don't think I've even seen anyone quoting post count

Meh. As long as there are ratings, it's useless.Seriously. We all know the signal to noise ratio at Codex has always been high, verging on extreme, but it seems like it's getting higher thanks to fantadomat and his ilk. The Codex stance on moderation is well known and unlikely to change, so I propose an alternative course to reduce the incentive to post total and utter needless crap.
We're a simple bunch, if we see a number next to our name, we want it to go up. Remove the number and reduce the reinforcement for making a whole bunch of shitposts whose only purpose is '+1'.
I challenge anyone to make a case for post count being anything other than an encouragement to shitpost.
Or, you know, as long as people keep posting here at all.

Is your OP meant to be a proof?I challenge anyone to make a case for post count being anything other than an encouragement to shitpost.
You want an action to be done to change things, so it's up to you to provide an argument that removing post count would be beneficial. Can you make a case for that?I challenge anyone to make a case for post count being anything other than an encouragement to shitpost.
You might be simple, but don't assume everyone is. In many cases lower numbers are better. THAC0, number of cocks up your ass, number of STDs contracted, number of times you died, etc. Have you thought that renaming Parrots to something undesirable could be even better than hiding post count given your goal to reduce shitposts? I could be having 1.8 million cocks up my ass right now; that would be quite inconvenient. Your suggestion displays a clear failure of imagination.We're a simple bunch, if we see a number next to our name, we want it to go up.

Yes. Then we must discuss what can change the nature of a shitpost.First I think we have to define 'what is a shitpost?'
...to end up discussing "what is a single shitpost worth".Yes. Then we must discuss what can change the nature of a shitpost.First I think we have to define 'what is a shitpost?'
There are two types of shitposts:First I think we have to define 'what is a shitpost?'
Obviously quality changes their nature; adding or removing quality makes a shitpost go fromThen we must discuss what can change the nature of a shitpost.
Another easy one. Worth depends on quality. Applying this principle is clear:...to end up discussing "what is a single shitpost worth".
i hope you mean 30 posts not 30 years oldI stopped caring about post count when I hit 30. You can be 30 too! Give it some time.
since like I said earlier, nobody here seems to give a fuck about postcount, just join date, ratings and getting an entertaining reaction from ppl, this won't do much. the basic idea may be sound thoOnly video game related sub-forum posts should count. This will cut down on 90% of all posting.
