[QUOTE="reveal, post: 2418594, member: 1236"] Unfortunately, I think this poll is more reactionary than anything else. As far as I can tell, some folks are upset that Frukathka posts a lot of replies in a row and a lot of replies that consist of one or two words or simply a few emoticons in a row and nothing more. They make comments about him "catching up to Crothian" and things like that. Otherwise, I don't think it would be an issue at all. One person doing something you dislike is not a reason to disable a feature for everyone. And I don't think too many people care about postcounts anyway. True, there are a lot of "My #####th thread!" posts in OT but that doesn't seem to affect any other aspect of EN World. As [b]William Ronald[/b] so elequently pointed out in [url=http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=140214]this[/url] thread, people of EN World are inclusive and just plain polite. If postcount mattered as much as some people make out, I don't think you'd see as much inclusion because people would look at postcount and decide whether or not you were "worthy" of their time. And isn't what the OT forum is supposed to be about is posting stuff that is "Off-Topic?" Posting things that are mainly tongue-in-cheek? People saying "Damn you all! Stop posting interesting things," or the Hivemind threads, which have been here a LOT longer than Frukathka has been on this board, or "30 Hornets vs. 30,000 Honey Bees." I guess my point, if I ever had one, is that if you post/reply in forums other than OT, it becomes a problem if you're not contributing to a thread but simply seeming to post just to post or just replying to reply. But if it's OT and you're not being rude or abusive, what does it matter what you post about or how you reply? [/QUOTE]
