Post count

Well that special constable forum is all over Trump and the american elections like a rash so we do need a space to talk about relevant topics

If you're going to change how the post counts are tallied at least have the stones to clearly state the changes being made. Maybe you wouldn't have this thread right now if you had been more transparent about the whole thing in the first place.

Peace.

I thought you had gone and weren't coming back?

I did. notice my post count wasn't moving. but didn't really care because I have no interest in the MM. I have 20 years of graphics cards in the loft, and buying second hand is for peasants

.

It does seem a very Reddit mod move tho.

Knee jerk reaction? Quite the opposite, we actually discuss everything as a team - even the smallest of changes.

I really don't get why it's such an issue for you when it makes no difference to you directly.

But, do you discuss it with the King, the CaseKing ?

Is anyone on the mod team actually going to explain why the decision was taken?

Doubt that but we all know why anyway right?

The fact it didn't get communicated prior tells you all you need to know

Well this change has appeared to have gone down like a lead balloon. No wonder there was no communication.

Back in reality, not many people give a ****.

But but, just imagine the furore if it was "switched off"! (please someone do this, break that mini black box with the LED).

I don't think the internet even existed until I was well over thirty! I'm sure I'd cope.

I thought people generally knew how to read. Apparently not.

Have you even read the thread? Just because you are one voice who doesn't care doesn't make you the de facto opinion.

Uther · 4 Aug 2023 at 18:48

I reckon it would have blown up more if they had communicated the change first

At least it would have been honest and transparent, instead of this cloak and dagger **** they're pulling. It's disingenuous and they know it, hence the reluctance to provide the entire story.

Promote forum engagement my arse.

@Feek can you run a report to show activity in GD for the last three months? I'd love to graph the engagement and see how it's gone

Uther · 4 Aug 2023 at 18:57

Well, if someone had posted 'what did you have for tea tonight' in La Cuisine and everyone had answered you could have +1'd your post count.
Mods can do what they like really, close the forum for 'reason's', turn it green on a night out, etc etc.
Just go with it or go elsewhere. Other forums are available, and not many members are missed.

Why? the mods don't own the forum. It's all the members together that make the forums what they are, surely all of our opinions have value.

And as they found out on Reddit during the recent protests, mods are quite expendable

I think you'll find that the mods represent the people who do own the forum and as such conduct themselves in a decent manner.

If me, the most frequently banned / suspended / naughty step poster on this forum can attest to the nonsense they have to put up with, you can take that all the way to the bank.
