This is just my opinion..
but what do you guys care about post count?
Personally, its nothing but a #
If my little comments here and there are considered "spam"- ok
but i mean, if we're trying to make friends with people from all over the globe through TA....sometimes those little comments is how to get yourself out there in the forums...simple random discussion about nothing in particular.
Mind you- I can see your point.....TA used to be this, used to be that..... and yeah it grew to what it is now, and YES there are some Bull threads, but all in all......I don't think you can say that this place should only be designated for MUSIC discussion, event reviews, and so on...... some one has got to shoot the .
Yes we have great technologies like INstant Messenger and all that, but this is a FORUM, a discussion forum.......
as long as there isn't complete idiotic posts all the time or whatever i think "spamming", which in my terms is just random talk, is fine.
as long as its not thousands of pages long, whats the problem?

How are they dumb? Shouldn't that ultimately be up to Swamper to decide? You would have to delete the COR forum if you think those threads are dumb. Might as well get rid of the polls, gaming, sports, political, and the humor forums too. After all, what do any of those have to do with trance music? All they lead to is people chatting. |

polls, gaming, sports, humor forums, are fine, do you ever see any 1 spam in there? or make stupid threads??? There arnt problems when threads are not about trance...the problems come from the people that just spam, about pointless crap. and from the people that dont follow the forum rules. i heard all the spam/ppr threads are going to aventually move to cor where they belong, and all the post counts will be deleted, the way they should be.
and sometimes it is the mods fault... |

This has been asked many times before...what is the big deal about post count? Why are you so concerned about that? What profound impact does it have on your life? Who sits around and checks everyone's post count? I would hope that you don't or you seriously need a new hobby. Unless you are Swamper or a mod...what purpose does it serve in your life to make such a huge fuss over something like this? It is a message board...you aren't running for office. |

i dont give a care about post count... but for example, i dont want to read 500 posts of complete bull , just so that person could get custom status...it has nothing to do with the actuall #...if you have 1 or 10000 quality posts it makes no difference to me. but if youy have 5000 posts of spam just to post,and feel special is a lot of unneeded garbage...
im sure if custom status came from time on ta instead of posts, there would be 1/2 as much garbage as there is. |

| Mr. Pink |
one question
how do you know it's all about the custom status as opposed to people just wanting to say "buttsex0r!"...or "i have a small pen0r!"
i mean...either way a post is a post...regardless of the intended purpose.
if custom status didn't exist and people were still posting BS, would you get just as irritated?
and if so......why belong to DISCUSSION FORUMS in the first place?
these are simply questions to muse over... :) |

sandstorm03 -
Rather than argue with you I'll just use examples instead.
Remember the other day when you posted my pic inside of a thread? That was absolutely 100% necessary. :rolleyes: I already know what I look like so why do something like that other than to try to chat with someone? Then you asked me online where I was from. That was what we all like to call "small talk". You know...chatting online inside of a message board. You could have sent me a PM, but you didn't. You did it inside of a thread where all your posts counted towards your post count. I was on topic with my postings up until then but you went off topic. Did I care? No. It had zero impact on my life. I never thought twice about it or questioned your motives...until now. All of your posts counted towards your post count...including my picture that you posted...for me.
Need we forget this gem of a poll posted by you:
http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...threadid=176071
Of course this counts towards your post count, but you are so right...this poll that you created was absolute "quality". :rolleyes:
Everyone posts BS at some time or another. You are not the quality police so please save your drama for another forum. |

| Just in case anyone was wondering...yes, my post (above) was written with sarcasm. I was simply pointing out the obvious in a slightly bitchy way. |

| Mr. Pink |

but yeah, quality police LMAO good one
i think everyone gets the point...
