Hey guys, I just got a fun idea. Let's talk about what would happen if postcount was never shown in the first place and then suddenly the coder decided to make use of that table column and show it :O
Personally, I'd probably be "Damn, have I really made that many posts?!"

Personally, I very much dislike the change... post count whining has got to be the most overblown problem in message board history, I mean, maybe I'm missing something, but I certainly didn't notice more than a trickle of stupid "Post #1337 LOL" threads... and I just find this kind of thing annoying to be honest...
Of course, the opinion of Imajin is probably the least important factor here. |

I feel naked without my postcount, actually.

"Post count whining" was just a very, very small factor in this decision.
Besides, who said it would be permanent? |

Okay Al. What're the bigger factors?
I'm just curious.

Amusingly, to see the kind of effects this would have on people.
I'd just like to say we're not the first Acmlmboard to do this, as Acmlm so wonderfully reminded me yesterday. |

Yes, but unlike that, I don't consider this to be a mistake.

I had one (1) message in Discord deleted and proceeded to make a huge, huge mess about how it was a violation of free speech and how moderators are supposed to be spam janitors and nobody should have the right to tell me not to talk about school shootings

What?
It helps determine if someone's spamming so I can ban them. (Speaking of, maybe I should go ban myself )
(Edit: board ate part of my post. weird.) |
