Petition for Post Count reductions

    Inspired by the magnificent thread '1500', I'm posting a petition which has long been discussed (and possibly done before - if it has then it needs redoing).

    After noting the omnipotency of DeVore in such matters, i think we can sway him to bring down drastically the post count of richindub2. Not to sound unfair, i think the same should be done to smak. (Leave them with 10 or 20 posts :))

    Post your support here.

    The point is not to keep them spamming, but just to take away their most valued objects in life ;)

    Seriously, its just for the laugh.

    Indeed, what's it coming to a when a harmless but fun idea is proposed and has someone flame(exaggeration) it down for no reason?

    smak hasnt spammed in A-G-E-S but rich still does quite a bit, or so i'm told.

    Good i dea in theory but in practice.... dont think so....

    as for it being flammed down for no reason i think that it would not be effective.

    Actually I've noticed no-one wants Hobbes's post count removed, despite being top of the 'Top 25', with a spamtastic 7000 posts!! :) Granted though, I've never seen Hobbes spam, except in the style of WWM; 'But when I do it, it's cute!' :D

    Setting Rich's post count back to zero could ruin his life. Lets do it!

    I was thinking about this for a while today. How if we reduced their post counts to 0 they'd go spammy-nuts to get it back.

    I thought of another way :)

    both RichinDub2 and SMAK have had their post counts set to 849569436456345 (or some equally stupidly big post count). Kinda takes the point out of it really doesn't. :)

    I'll probably reverse all these changes or then again I might not.

    how bout setting it so that for every post they make, their post drops a value

    so they get -1 post count for each count made, until they hit 0 :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,415 Trojan
    ✭✭✭✭


    They're currently at the 16 bit limit, if they post they're probably going to rollover to 0 or 1 :)

    can you put the post count into the minuses?, that would be funny :-)

    i think the minus 1 value per post count would be fun.. who will hit 0 first any takers?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,699 Da Bounca

    Thats a good idea, for every post rich and smak make, they go down one post.
    smak will get to 0 first i reckon.

    LOL, what a spammer 180 posts/day :D
    What's the story with the moloko thing tho?

    It's a clockwork orange thing.

    If in doubt Seamus....
    Consult your nearest Nadsat Dictionary

    Although I too am a bit confused why SMAK's status is Moloko, given its nadsat for "Milk" :confused:

    I'd like to know that too.... SMAK how did you get a custom title?

    I agree. It's a silly idea which just gives the spammers more attention which is seemingly what they want in the first place. If they annoy you just set the ignore feature on them and stop moaning.

    .logic.

    Maybe he got it for buying the Clockwork Orange T-shirt. One of the first I think.

    [off topic]
    Oh that reminds me here's the latest news on meh Jebus Mug (yeah like anyone cares but I started typing and it takes a while to slow down).
    Well it appears Jebus went a wandrin in the post.:( I ordered it in the before-time, in the long-long-ago (10/12/01) I complained that it was taking so long and it was shipped on 10/01/02 and I was billed for the €23 on 14/01/02. The guy from T-Shirt Zoo tells me it must have been lost in the post because the address was correct and he said he would rerun the order (which was nice) on 24/01/02 but Jebus is still not in my life.

    A "No Mug" (get it No Life/No Mug) title would make me feel better though! :D

    VB obviously open that option in your profile config when you get so many posts.

    maybe cloud, when it was available to everyone with 1000 posts set it to some ridiculously high number (when he removed the option) that was assumed no one could achive. just a guess.

    [edit] it appears im back to normal old community mod then :( [/edit]


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 DeVore

    Yes cloud set it to a really big number. not quite big enough.
    I've upped it a lot now so you are back to your old tag.

    Ho hum.
