    I think that the Role Playing section should count posts. Many people participate and it could really boost post numbers. People like to show off how many posts they have :)
    Also, some people are only on this forum for RPing. It's not fair for them to have a low post count when they have probably posted hundreds, blowing many braggarts out of the water. Please post your ideas about this suggestion and make a difference!

    Then the RPG section will be full of flamers and trolls, and then they will reach to premiumness without deserving it.

    Hmm, that is true. Haha, I hate when I am cross examined! :D

    But that would give RPers the advantage to report them for spamming.

    Hell no to this.

    RPers are like spammers anyway <_< Do you have any idea how many posts a day the RP section gets?
    Why should a person get to premium by posting nonsense?

    A lot of us have already posted hundreds, heck even thousands, without these posts counting.

    So again, I disapprove.

    As an RP'er (not a spammer in the RP section) it will never happen. This is not primarily an RP site so RP'ing doesn't have that sort of status here.

    ....
    That's just like saying posts should count in the spamzone...
    Well, maybe not.
    But.
    No.

    I agree with the fact that is posts counted in the RP zone numbers would sky rocket and a lot of people would start spamming in there, but a lot of the RP section isn't spam so i don't think the should count for nothing.

    *facedesk* how do i allways end up right in the middle for arguments like this?

    Maybe half or quarter posts? That is if the coding can even handle that...

    I don't think I can say no enough to disagree with this idea.

    It would be ridiculously easy to get to Premium with posts from the role-play and some of those aren't even worth is.

    Another issue raised is that posts would have to count in the FF or SZ. Which in the case of the FF would never be approved since the Kadaj Family gets 100+ per day.

    So no.

    No, this would be bad. Like...really bad. Because the RPing Section is ment for fun, and not really ment for post count pluses. Too many people would reach Premmy from it, and that would be too easy. I completely dissagree...as a lot of others do.

    *Waits for closeage*

    Thanks for your opinions you guys, I just don't think that the posts should count for nothing. I like the 1/2 or 1/4 post idea, if that is possible (prolly not).

    I agree 100%. With what Laurence_Fox said, not this idea.

    Well, well if the post counts .5 of post, it might confuse people. But if is possible, I agree.

    It's a difficult thing to decide, for sure there are some BRILLIANT RPers whos posts are well deserving of some form of recognition, but there are also some absolutey awful RPers who post things like " Axel nodded his head" which to me is undeserved of anything -__-

    I do not see it as possible or even realistic, I am very sorry, because like I say there are some fantastic RPers who I love RPing with ^^ but it is not justifiable for those who are not so *cough* skilled.

    Sorry, but at the first site I actually was at a forum at we had posts count, it only lasted a day.

    It's too much of a disaster. Members should post in other areas if they want more posts. No forums where I went to where posts counted in the rpg zone had it work for long.

    Sorry, but it's the truth. PM me with objections.

    Postts don't count

    I think you should only have the posts don't count rule in the Spam section. I dont think its fair that people take time to post in the role playing forum and it doesnt count.

    Do you mean they tried it, or it was just suggested?

    One of our admins has tried it on another forum and it failed miserably.

    So no.

    No way xD


    "Demyx laughed" <--------- posts like that do not deserve to be credited for xD


    They choose to post in the RP section knowing it doesn't count ^^ and sure there are some damn good RPers, but there are several not so good.

    Like Rosey says, been suggested before xD and No
