Post count proposal

Currently, the way post count is displayed is by saying a user has "Contributed x forum posts".
The way I see it, simply excluding posts to OT! is not right, as posting to OT is not only not a contribution, but a direct disservice to the osu! community.

My proposal is to have posts on OT subtract from post count. This also has the added bonus of knowing when a user has passed the point of no return, denoted by a negative post count. This won't include posts made to the forum games subforum since they at the very least engage the community in a non-destructive manner.

Alternatively, you could reword the display to say "Added x forum posts" or something else that would better reflect post count.

If forum games were to have post count, I would have gotten 7,000+ posts by now.

good point, i do still think it should be indicated whether or not a user is a regular here though.

dawg they're not gonna pick out specific users just so a useless feature doesn't backfire


that last part is a saying, it means not to be stupid. bunnies are quite stupid, and this thread is evidence

have it be automated. make a set of qualifiers like post rate, post regularity, etc.

also our brains are kinda 100 times lighter than a human's

i probably shouldn't even be capable of speech

To be consistent you'd have to subtract all useless posts in other forums, there are entire threads made for spam/post farming though.
Some people would be like -10k posts.

negative post count is funny

also the mods are just moving threads here to other places so i end up with a higher post count?

Genuine question: Is it common to care about post count simply for the sake of post count and not for any other related reason (helping the community etc,)?

Not really but a few people have been spamming pretty much every subforum with useless messages just to get higher post count.

the only reason ppl care about post count is vanity
saying you care about it for any other reason is blatant cope
