Good for them. I wish I did.

But folks like my dear friend Alex posting near 20,000 times in just ONE totally mindless counting thread is just absurd if those posts count to an overall tally - which they have so far.

And what % of posts from these ~15,000 below (counting up and down from 100,000) did drbond make outside OMNI I wonder? I seem to recall in our last debate reading near zero. That is not adding to miles and points knowledge to anyone.

I do not recall ever seeing member szg post anywhere on FT that I have visited, yet note he/she has 16,422 posts in just 3 threads below. The mind boggles as what his/her total post count is.

[snip to save visual space...]

A simple posting bot could acheive the same ends and not add a bean of info to FT on miles and points.

We could have 1000 bots posting 10000 posts a day .. would that assist FT in any way?

Folks with weeks ans months of spare time to killl can do what they like with it on such threads - just from now on it will not count to absolutely massive post totals. Sounds fair, and is years overdue.

What is the purpose of this post? Only thing I see this doing is rehasing something that we all (appear to) agree on: That posting in OMNI has been abused in some cases. Those threads you mentioned above are not a part of my argument since I agree that something needs to be done about them.

I'm just failing to understand how cutting off OMNI all together is more effective to solving this problem than an enforcement of the TOS.
