Title Rank For Post Count

[Eadieni]

No. It keeps you from being rewarded for posting, which means you'll probably keep the posting to more necessary chat.
Think they intend these forums for game ideas, feedback, complaints, etc, all game related stuff, not E-Peen boosting like on zam.

No. It keeps you from being rewarded for posting.

Just having a chance DEV read my post, is already a nice reward for me. This is not a contest of who post the most or who is most loved on forum...


*Edit* i can already smell the little 'click' that slowly build over all thread and ready to discredit everything with not argument, please no thanks, if the forum about to be lead by those player, then this forum worth nothing better then Zam, BG, and so on.

And no karma either, because then anyone who has a genuine complaint about a feature everyone loves will be rated down into oblivion like on zam. Even if its a good constructive post. As will anyone who defends the feature. It's just a stupid thing.

The reason I do not support this:

LETTERS LETTERS ALL BIG LETTERS

This would support posts such as that.

I think some of you are confused. Its a small title that just says a name after reaching a certain amount of posts. Not a complaint feature or pro/con thread things. Although I do see sides of not rewarding to stay on topic. Pro and cons to both sides.

Alternatively, they could also just give stars.

We can see that big number next to your "posts" Rog. Wherever you go, the posts will follow. Alla needs you, you don't need alla.

[rog]

It's cool i guess, since here i can say i have more posts than anyone

[Runespider]

You were banned from Alla, Rog

He was banned from Alla, FFXI itself and BG. Suprised he is still here.

Imo the title thing is kinda stupid and would without a doubt encourage spamming, no matter what anyone says. Posts saying "I agree with op" or w/e would spring up all over the place. These forums are already a little moronic lets not make it worse.

There are too many people who literally seek forums out that have to do with areas they either are or that think they are knowledgeable in just to "help" others. By help, I mean a competition or race to see who can post the answer first, leading to post/comment counts and this higher "status" that you speak of. Valuable, small points that could have built up a more concrete reply, or facts from those who feel truly confident in the subject being questioned over versus those who think they might know and just post quickly to take a shot at it and the additional "bonuses" will be entirely missed. On top of this, more topics about absolute nonsense will arrive, with people perpetuating them consistently, as that's something almost anyone can "relate" and reply to.

It seems like a good idea, but after a while (or a short time, for those who are already involved in this sort of thing elsewhere) people will lose sight of the original intention of the forum if they get caught up in big numbers and forum bling.
