Qft +1

MooseJam

It's not a problem ok, seriously the mods must have nothing to do so end up dreaming up these non existant problems that need worrying about

I don't like it. I don't like any kind of txt abbreviations that require me to work out what they mean. You have a keyboard. Use it.

Also, I thought txt wasn't tolerated?

I say we abandon Quantum Field Theory just like Einstein and Karoma want.

How about scrapping post counts then?

I like this idea. Of course they would still be visable to mods and that but I've a feeling it would cut down on spam. I've seen some posts that are simply to say "yay 4000th post"

Yay, 20, 706th post

There is a difference between txt spk and acronyms.

FFS if anything it means less reading beacuse you've already read the whole post being quoted and are just being reminded - you don't have to listen to a big spiel from the quoter (that a word?) as well...

Either way, what's the harm? Talk about beaurocracy...

I wouldn't get rid of it, but if its causing trouble, then how about not letting the post count to your post count. If you get me. Use the nest code on qft, +1, -1 type stuff?

Your post doesn't increase on the cuckoo's nest at all. I think it would be hard (maybe impossible) to implement on a post by post basis. The only way I would imagine would be that your post count would only increase if the post contained a certain amount of characters. I don't know how hard that would be to implement but I think the admins have more important things to do with their time.

Yeah, I know it doesn't count in the nest. Thought maybes there would be code you could attach to qft etc. But hey, maybe not. Its not really a problem unless people abuse it by doing it 24/7, and they get reported then. Its why we have that shiny triangle button.

Tar.Aldarion

An if loop would work.

pretty-in-pink

if{
x=y
blah = blah;
}
else {
Blah ++}

That type of thing? (i know, i know its very badly written)

Since After Hours seems to be rarely used for actual 'discussion' but rather for rants, trolling. and general psss-taking, I cant see a problem with the use of these acronyms. 'Course up to now I had no idea what QTF was so just ignored it.

It is both annoying and pointless but at the end of it all I'm quite sure most people would be inclined to think who cares, it's the internet. Every second post in AH is an innuendo or acronym at this stage!
