Actually, while I don't disagree that there could be some sort of a limit, it's just overkill IMHO. As is the games forum idea, and whether or not they count.

The entire issue was started because of a few people gaming the system and Randy being fed up with them.

I don't want to give the mods more work and truly believe that all contributions to FT should count. Right now, post counts are such that they are no real indication of anything, except perhaps no life My daily total is 4.66, as of today I also can't say that in any given day I would post anywhere near the numbers you suggest.

The easiest solution to try to get things back into some perspective would be to go and delete, yes, delete, the threads that were obviously post padding in Omni, then go after the contests that are in community and delete them. You will get rid of the vast majority of inflated posts. It will not take away the counts from those who "live" in lounge threads and have accumulated tens of thousands of posts there, but to delete those threads would get a lot of people who enjoy them quite upset. Plus, I don't feel they are part of the problem. Going forward the mods could delete any thread that starts looking like someone is trying to just get more posts added to his total.

Again, it would have been easiest to just go back and put everything the way it was and actually punish those, by deleting the threads, who abused the system. And not allow it to happen going forward.

By that's just my two cents, and should be taken for what it's worth
