Saying Hi and your post count

[Bashy]

Hi peeps

Straight to the point...
Should your posts in the New Members Section Count
or do you feel that saying hello to a new member is just that
and does not really need to go towards your post count?

Please give a reason as well so that we can understand your answer?

ive already stated this i dont see what difference post count makes really :confused:
at the end of the day were all (well most of us) just here to help out ppl in need if we can, post count shouldnt be an issue (no)

[tango232]

my view is bin the post count alltogether and just use the thanks button and then you will see who has helped or not (*)

[Bashy]

Nah, that will cause world war 3, look at whats happen with one section turned off lol

I said hello in the new members lounge and my post vanished, maybe I didnt post it right so I did another and that never appeared either

[madhousee]

I think it should count because it nice to make time to say hello to all the new members some are friends from other site,maybe after say good (10) posts it start to add to your posts.................

I AGREE WITH MADHOUSE (BG)

If your going to use a post count system for grading members etc, then all posts should count. However, you can end up with a situation were you will get someone with say 5,000 post counts and at the same time they have never been proactive. I.e. 5000 posts that are mere comments and not a help to anyone at all.

I do realise we need people to post to keep the forum active and interesting, but I think member status should be graded on the amount of help that they have offered others, & or useful uploads to benifit others.

I.e. I remember your ftp Bashy very helpful it was indeed. Not saying you need loads of ftp's etc but it was an answer to a requirement of lots of users at the time.

and that ftp is still available only slightly different :)

End of the Day two post aint that much and it incourages peeps to look through the forums looking for something to post too. which is a good thing if theres a problem they have wich has already been answered. saves u guys repeating urselfs....

totaly agree and it is especialy good for the people who are comming to this forum for the first time when they google for smthg and when they finaly find a solution here than they should be able to take advantage of it at that particular moment. if they are satisfied they will be happy and stay here for a long time anyway and if not then they will leave no matter what
