testing forum

Isn't that the easiest way for people's post count to go up? And there isn't really any rules about spamming in the test forum, so I recommend you disable post count in that section. A lot of users here probably got high post counts by posting lots of test messages.

If you'd try it, you'd notice that post count, is in fact, disabled in that forum.

Is it?
There really should be bold text in the forum description like:
Please note that posting in this forum does not contribute to your total post count.

There used to be if I'm not mistaken.

ok, another thread about "postcount" ...

what is the value of the postcount on this forum?


>> NONE!


so why focus on that detail again?


>> NO REASON...

postcount high will not give you any credit to buy a license or have access to any extra part of the site.... period.

Member's have a right to test post code's etc. I cant really see how disabling post count to that area will have any effect then if it were enabled.

Why don't you guys leave the "how to run a site" decisions to those who actually run the site? Who cares if they decide to enable or not postcount-counting. Post good content so you deserve the post+1 instead of making useless threads with useless replies. Good content provokes others to do the same, which is interesting to read and reply to, and the postcount goes up on its own. "it should do it" are pathetic arguments and they already have a group of staff that are big boys and can make their own decisions and have done so years ago. For OBVIOUS reasons the test forum shouldn't count posts. Nor is there a reason to inform people that it uses that setting or not.
