To post count, or not to post count?

(but not the 1940 posts counting as double :p ).

Yeah, yeah, I realise that my credibility suffered with the last comment. My tongue should have been firmly in cheek rather than sticking out.

 

....Oh, and posts in '1940' should count double ! :p
Can't see the logic. Why would posts on pre-war subjects count double?

 

Count or not to count? I'm just here to make sure you Limeys don't speak ill of GSP.

 

And postings from Vets should count double

 

And postings from Vets should count double

...only if they behave themselves !

 

Does this add to my post count? If not please delete it

I will however add that I have discovered a flaw in the voting system-I just voted for all three at the same time !

Cheers

 

That's the trouble with you postaholics - you just don't read the thread before clicking submit .



I often suspected you might swing all ways...

Cough ... I've only posted twice in since Friday luchtime I'll have you know.

 

And people who keep changing their Avatars should have 10 points deducted every time they do it.

It becomes very confusing for us oldies

 

I don't really care will you count posts or not, but I don't understand what will this change.

 

Yeah, but only 'cos you've been swearing at a camera?


The only time I've seen it this week end was when I snatched it from Andreas hands as she fell over a rock walking up the side of Aire Fall near Ullswater.

I think she has reached page 5 so far of a 215 page manual and doesn't have a clue what half the words mean. Anyway more importantly she is hooked on camping..... Pheeew !

Anyway and more importantly.....Back to the poll then

 

I quite like that. (Assuming it's possible - will have a shufti)
And it avoids the embarrassment associated with v high postcounts.

Hmmm.

Why couldn't Rich's suggestion be included in the poll as it seemed to me the 'reasonable option' if the present system has to be changed.
When new members ask questions it is reassuring for them to know their answers come from members with a bit of credibility.

'cos I haven't yet worked out if it's actually possible .

I'll get me coat - again!!
Tom.
I should have known we were in good hands!

 

Seriously I don't think most members post here to build up their post figures but if that rings you bell and you make useful contributions I don't see the problem. I think the post figure is a useful indicator for new members, somewhat moreso than the 'recommendation' boxes which I feel are often not understood by new members for some while. I needed to ask what the green boxes were about when I had been a member for a month or more but perhaps thats just me not reading the instructions properly?.
I do understand the lack of post credits for the barracks since some 'chats' go on very fast and for a long time more like a chat room. That is another thought and I apologise if it has been raised before but has a realtime chat room, or perhaps the facility (no post credits) been considered? My own thoughts are that instant responses might detract from the essentially well informed sort of reply this forum usually generates. And despite one or two little run-ins with Mods/Adamin recently I still reckon they do a great job and will be perfectly happy to go along with their decisions.

And for the not so old!!!
Also agree that it gives you a guide as to how long they have been on and maybe expertice/experience so those more knowledgable can see and help out. Once the points get over 1000 (no way i will get there!) becomes a bit redundant
