I am not patting anyone on the back.

This motion is simply about whether or not OMNI posts should count... it is not about posts in other forums....

I personally have never wanted OMNI posts to count.... and I have been consistent over the several years of discussions on this topic.

Are there posts in other forums that could be construed at "post padding"? Of course! Are they all deleted.... I doubt it.

Bottom line for me: I do not believe any other member will think less of a member who does not get post count credit for an OMNI post. So, I do not buy into the "disinfranchised" argument. Members who think less of themselves as a result of fewer post ticks need to figure out how to deal with that loss.

While I participate in the "wasting time" threads myself when I want a distraction, I never thought about what it would do to my post counts... just as I do not think about the fact I do not get post credits in Coupon Connection.... and I post a great deal there.
