The moderators seem to have vastly inflated their posts! How so?

Elf Girl · 04-21-2002, 11:46 AM

I noticed that, too. Maybe the mods can fiddle with post counts?

***Ben*** · 04-21-2002, 12:39 PM

Yes, Tristan was upset that certain users had passed him in post counts (most notably BeardofPants), so he took drastic measures and upped the staff's post counts to impossibly high numbers.

If you were a genius you would up your post count by posting intelligent Tolkien-related information.

Elf Girl · 04-21-2002, 01:19 PM

Indeed.

Who cares about post count unless you win a prize or something for reaching a certian amount? I mean, it's not like you get something for having the highest count or anything, so why all the competition?

Twilight · 04-21-2002, 01:20 PM

You could have lowered the post counts of certain people instead. If you did it in small enough amounts, you could really mess with peoples minds if they didn't know that it was going on

galadriel88 · 04-21-2002, 01:34 PM

Don't give him any ideas!

Personally, i don't care about the admin and mod's post counts; they were here long before me and therefore will have more posts than me. For me, the post count is more of a personal best competition -I want to see how well I can do.

mwa hahahaha

Darth Tater · 04-21-2002, 02:02 PM

Funny thing is I've now got one of the lowest post counts of the mods and admins and I actually have the most real posts. I think Tristan really just wanted to beat me

BTW feel free to spam his PM inbox with hate mail.

Elf Girl · 04-21-2002, 02:05 PM

*checks post count*

aldesign · 04-21-2002, 02:30 PM

i thought the admins had quite good post counts, why spoil them with these new FAKE number of posts.

Elf Girl · 04-21-2002, 02:42 PM

I agree. I respected the admins for their post counts, I can't anymore.

Comic Book Guy · 04-21-2002, 02:43 PM

It's also to stop spammers spamming because they want to 'beat' us post-count wise, because they will just be wasting their time otherwise.

Why not?

***gdl96*** · 04-21-2002, 04:40 PM

Tater, I have a lower post count than you

galadriel88 · 04-21-2002, 04:44 PM

I like to see how many posts I can get WITHOUT the aid of spam! (And not comparing it to anyone else.)

Darth Tater · 04-21-2002, 04:51 PM

You are obviously better people then Tristan
