If you want to be separate from CC, then create a forum or usergroup elsewhere.

no non regulars will go and noone will wanna join and no new posters will go there

exactly. We want new blood

Why does it matter? Maybe it shouldnt say the post count at all.

I think if you care about post count you should g outside for a lil while. Get some fresh air, look at a tree. God knows you haven't in a while.

well maybe not firc but illy and mtg definately

hey.

What would be wrong with me as a mod. As for Illy and Mtg I can't really say.

seriously why does everyone can probably not me. IMO Illy and Mtg would probably be worse.

by **Iliad** on Fri Mar 28, 2008 6:27 pm

Oh and you want to know why post should count? Cause otherwise lots of veterans will quit posting here. Let's use mafia as an example

People posting mafia on CC---going to keep playing games---more likely to buy premium and stay on cc

Posts don't count---people go to other sites---they will stop playing cc after a while---no premium

Want more?

Newbies join and explore forums---they see lots of mafia games and are intrigued---they start playing mafia---they keep playing CC--more likely to buy premium

Newbies join and explore forums-forums are dead becasue every veteran has left to go to other forums--they keep playing cc-- after a while they will stop--not going to buy premium

Heh. I just heard stories of you modding your pika forum before clan forums so yeah.

This isn't a thread about modding guys. Keep the topic about post counts. Thanks.

Iliad.... your assumptions are entirely absurd. Mafia is about the game, not about the post count.

were there any other reasons beside "thinking it was going to reduce spam" to stop IK post count.

meh, you haven't heard of the stories where I do good. It's not that I'm a bad mod. It's just at some times I can be emotionally swayed. (Especially at some points way too easily)

Yeah. And what is the point playing here if we can play at another site? A site with slightly better layout :wink:

The people. ;-)

Mafiascum has always been there, yet we still manage to have plenty of games here.

yeah and now the people are leaving because of the layout.

MafiaScum is shit... too heavily moderated. Too long days. In one of our usergroups theres a sizeable amount of people saying they are leaving the website now. :cry:

I personally don't mind the new forums though, it would be nice if the last post thing said the thread title though and not just the user.

I believe they are trying to fix the part that is in bold, but be patient, there are more pressing bugs around (such as the login problem for some people)

I'm patient and I understand that Lack and his team of helpers are very busy sorting out all of the bugs that exist at the moment etc.

MS isn't that bad, I don't mind the layout much. It's just the posts in IK not counting.

To me it seems obvious that this in no way will stop any spam, evidenced by this thread, and will only shift the spammers who do it for the postcount to the other forums. Where they will reply to every thread with something vaguely related to the topic (to avoid getting banned). Does anyone think this is a bit retarded?

agreed

absolutely!!

Well, everyone who really cares that much, can go make a separate forum where they can do the same thing, and have their post counts go up. I play Mafia, but do not consider that to be part of CC-- is s another game that I play with the same people. If people want to have their mafia posts counted, they can go to a mafia forum. If they want their politics posts counted, they can go to a politics forum. Even though I love having these things available here, I consider it something extra, added onto Conquer Club.

There, now you have no excuse not to quote properly.

Anyway, I'm done posting here now... I don't really care; just thought I'd offer up a counter-argument. I'll leave you guys to it.

i dont understand why you changed it then.
