I know this was a subject that was discussed in the past.

In the last few days, I've noticed massive number of consecutive posts by a longstanding member. I first noticed this in the Food Association thread. Upon a bit of further "research", I've found that this person has posted about 18,000 posts in Count Up Thread including several runs of 75+ consecutive posts at a time in the last few days. Now there are a couple of other members who are starting to do the same thing.

My concern with this and proposal for removal of OMNI post counts are based on a couple of arguments.

1. These massive consecutive posts basically violate TOS anyways - post padding and consecutive posts. However, Randy is the only moderator in OMNI and he is often not available.

2. There has been discussions of people complaining that the "games" threads waste space etc. My argument here is that these "games" threads are no longer games for the "OMNI enabled" but become a "private thread" for one (or a few) members. In the Food Association thread, you can see this clearly, a few times a "general" member posted but gets totally ignored by the consecutive poster.

I strongly believe that if OMNI post counts are removed, this type of behavior is much less likely to occur.
