Yes... I realize there is no 100% scientific way to determine which threads are positively "gamers" but the practical way of doing this would be to monitor the threads that have the most traffic and fall under the general definition of gaming and have those moved (if they are not started where they should be in the first place).
That makes sense, but it's a moderation nightmare.
It's far easier to just eliminate all OMNI posts from the count.
I'd be in favor of a per-sub-forum post count, but I don't think that's a common, or even available, feature in any forum software out there. If it is available, it's likely that it's cost-prohibitive.
