It would take them out of view, but they'd still count, correct?. I don't think we should give post counts to FTers that use their number counting abilities in a number counting thread to get thousands of posts. What contribution do you make to FT by posting a number 50 or more times a day?
That's the same point of view I held when TalkBoard voted on this in 2007.
I think TalkBoard might have a better shot at restoring OMNI posts counts if they moved the game threads over into a separate area and didn't count them. I'm all for counting posts where FTers type a couple paragraphs on a topic in OMNI, but the number counting threads are just there for pumping up post counts, from my point of view.
I value my post count from years of contributions on the travel side of FT. OMNI is not my home forum. I don't think we should recognize posters who build up the bulk of their posts playing games.
