I don't understand what you mean. Do you mean you think people will simply spam the forums with posts that don't make sense to increase their post count?? If so, I highly doubt that will happen.

I never claimed their posts wouldn't make sense, but you seem to get the gist. Yes, people will post to increase their post count.

Whether or not we agree on this is not the issue. This was about ball tracking, and about needing some sort of notification about what posts were given the +1, right? Neither of you has made any strives to convince anyone why this is a good idea. You've just jumped on board and said, why not?

I've suggested why it might be a bad idea. So try and change my mind. This is how debate works.

Well I think being able to see what posts were given a +1 will not increase how often people post, but it will allow people to see the type of posts that they get +1s for and perhaps this will allow them to increase the overall quality of future posts.

As for the post count feature, I think that it wouldn't increase spam any more than introducing the +1 rating system. So would be a cool feature and would allow users to see how many posts other users had made, and could be compared to how many balls they have as a way to establish credibility.

I'm sure we would both agree that it would be easy to implement a post count system.
So I don't quite understand your dislike of the system. Is it simply because you think people will start posting useless messages? I don't think this will happen. I don't think people will post much more than they do now. And if you find it is an issue then the BBs can simply remove it or you can hand out longer message board bans.

And I'm sure you can see that it would be a cool feature to have.

So why not implement it?

If it's hard to implement then I agree there are many other things that take priority. But if it is something that can be done in 15 minutes then I would like to see it, even if that does mean the occasional spam message here or there.

I think it would just be better if we could see a list of links to posts by user, regardless of where they are rated. I think that's a pretty standard feature of forums on many other websites. Sometimes somebody might want to look up something they posted in the past but cannot remember exactly where they posted it. Or maybe we'd want to look up somebody's posting history for some reason or another. This seems like something that's feasible to implement (since it is done elsewhere) and would be an enhancement.

Oh yeah? Well I think the answer is Twenty-Four! You just don't have the right question.

Otherwise, you're probably right. My suggestion isn't so original here, so if it was easy to do it probably would have been done already.
