What Happened to Nightfall's Post Count?

[Olaf the Stout]

I was reading a random thread and happened to notice that Nightfall's post count was listed as 0. Any reason for it?

To stop him from continually posting 3 or 4 word posts multiple times in a thread in order to jack up his post count maybe?

Just curious more than anything.

Wow, 0 posts. Guess he has to start over, eh? He'll catch up in no time, I'm sure.

I think he was banned recently.

Personally I'd be keen on dropping post counts entirely. It could be replaced by some sort of simple system (either a range like 0-100, 100-1000, 1000+) or some sort of neutral statement like Visitor, Experienced, Frequent Poster.

Allowing "view printable version" to accept blocks would be a good solution too.

I'll be the first to say that I don't like this idea. Keep the Post Count.

When we see signs of people posting to increase post count, we may address it. One of those methods is randomly changing the post count so that the numbers quickly become meaningless. We like our posters -- but we don't want folks posting for the wrong reasons when that affects others.

That's a great policy. Thanks for that!

I always thought the "Hivemind" thread over in non-game topics was the proper outlet for serious post-count competitors.

Is Nightfall's PC reset due to a moderator conspiracy? I read the "Ignore NF" thread started on CM this past weekend.

Is Nightfall's PC reset due to a moderator conspiracy?

If it were a conspiracy, we'd either keep our mouths shut, or deny it was, and you'd continue to believe what you wished. If it weren't a conspiracy, we'd deny it was, or keep our moths shut, and you'd continue to believe what you wished.

The fact of the matter is that it is not your business. It is unseemly and rude to try to have fun at another poster's expense in this manner. Please stop.

Bento, as judged by the smiley, you're just being funny -- but we don't generally discuss moderation with folks, and this does fall into that category. So we're not going to go into detail on it. My apologies for any confusion.
