Posted September 19, 2005 we should. fierce-link locked mine, nasty admin. :shock: I locked it because it was basically asking who was who on the old forums. And there was already a thread about who used what names on the old boards. I ain't nasty. :p Anyway, hi _Gus_. Welcome to the boards. Yes, we do have rep points. Although, if the rep system gets abused, we will turn it off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 19, 2005 I hope someone abuses the rep system in my favour. *looks sadly at the 10 rep points underneath my name* ------ Hey Gus! Enjoy your stay here. Most people here are really cool, so hopefully you'll have fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 19, 2005 Yes, we do have rep points. Although, if the rep system gets abused, we will turn it off. Because rep points so arent the new post count Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 19, 2005 Because rep points so arent the new post count Well, the theory behind rep points is that you give "karma" (or something) to someone who has made a good post. You can also give bad karma to someone who has made a bad post. It's a good way of repping people who do make good, thought out posts on the boards, for example "johelian".

Posted September 19, 2005 Because rep points so arent the new post count Well they never will be - because the ethos is different. I'm not too bothered about Rep Points, and as for post counts, the fact that they are still on your profile is in my opinion still abit of a drawback. They should just disappear altogether.

Posted September 19, 2005 yeah i would like to see post counts off the profile as well, but as far as im aware there isnt an option for that, ive looked and looked and my eyes hurt >_< ill get someone to mess with the code and see if they can be taken out or something...

To be honest Sir, I don't think any forum has an option or facility to totally remove the post count. I think we are lucky as it is - for it not to be activly displayed, or tallied against other members. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
