I still believe that posts in Omin should NOT count in post counts ( as long as we keep post counts.)\

For example: Newest Omni Waste Of Time - Count Down From 100,000
drbond 10,039
hhoope01 7,475
BiziBB 6,610
yashan 6,463

dcmike 1,771
Brobbel 1,762
ContinentalFan 1,650
Cornroaster 1,552
tkey75 1,069
Gaucho100K 1,012

Or: Newest OMNI waste of time - count UP to 100,000

drbond 4,365
the_traveler 3,459
Gaucho100K 1,635
dcmike 1,301

I am not defending post-padding. Heck, mocking it is a favorite pastime. But tell me how the above threads from, respectively, Women, Community and Technology are "contribut[ing]...to miles, points and perks or info on hotels, airlines, greyhound buses etc."????

If you want to ban post-padding you need to take that up with the moderators. Specifically the moderator of OMNI, and his initials are RP.

But since Randy decided "a post is a post" this proposal is an end-around.

I sincerely suggest that those who want post-padding dealt with deal directly with post-padding through requests to moderators. Heck, I just lost about 10 posts due to moderation on this very forum!

But dont denigrate all who live in OMNIville because you dont like post-padding. That's lame.
