IMHO, that is why all posts should count.
(Bolding Mine)
First of all, I do feel FT is very special. ^ However, are we looking at the same motion?
According to post #1 (quoted below), the current motion TB is voting on has nothing to do with counting all posts. It's about a recommendation to Randy to reconsider his decision. Am I that wrong?

3. Removing OMNI post counts will maintain consistency.
Punki, I really want to thank you for trying to summarize what you had read. I just can't pinpoint what's not right. Your wording/summary doesn't seem to accurately capture what had been said.
For example,
both Kiwi Flyer and tazi had gone on record and disagreed with your jealousy "assessment/conclusion" (Me 3), but you keep using it in your summarized 1st reason (at least twice). Maybe that's how you "perceive" it but that's not what's been said. As for your summarized 2nd reason, it's a byproduct from post padding (which is applicable to all fora, not just OMNI). Gamesters in OMNI happen to be the most extreme cases of post padding. I am not sure what consistency you are referring to in your summarized 3rd reason though.
I don't know. Maybe it's just me with language barriers. Maybe it's how you punctuate the points.
