NX Express Posted March 14, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 14, 2010 Harry, I think it would be a reasonable idea to have posts in threads labeled "photos" or "videos" not count towards a user's overall post count. Members can get thousands of posts by just writing something like "good pics" in every thread. Meanwhile, they are not contributing towards any real discussions.

EE Broadway Local Posted March 14, 2010 Share #2 Posted March 14, 2010 I agree! The Photo threads are a very easy way to boost your post count (Only visible on your profile page, not in your posts.), though here at NYC Transit Forums, your post count doesn't seem to do anything for your status or popularity like at some other transit forums. It's cool that Harry and Zach say I'm a "Senior Member", though I'm not sure what that means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColumbiaDeath Posted March 14, 2010 Share #3 Posted March 14, 2010 It seems to me that you are suggesting that post counts matter. I can't figure out why, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted March 14, 2010 Share #5 Posted March 14, 2010 No to post counts. This is not straphangers where meaningful posts are weighed the same as pointless ones like the "dancing lock" ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted March 14, 2010 Share #6 Posted March 14, 2010 We had thread counts a couple years ago, but it seemed as if people were posting just to raise their numbers, so it was removed. As far as the counter being disabled from the photo pages, I don't think it's possible, but I will double check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted March 14, 2010 Share #7 Posted March 14, 2010 Post counts are counted for all posts whether they are photos or discussions. It is not possible to separate the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
