Those who are interested only in raising their post counts would not -- but I don't think that they contribute very much of value anyhow.
I would continue to come. But weekly or so, not 4-5 times a day or whenever I have a free moment. I've heard many people say the same thing. To have such a measure as post count and then only apply it to some areas in a reasonably arbitrary (with justification invented afterwards) and certainly capricious way does nothing to spread goodwill, even if it only affects a vocal minority or posters. Those that would rather see the posts not count -- what does it
hurt you? And some seem to have enjoyed this far too much - the schadenfreude is quite evident in some posts in this thread.
I participate actively in a few programs: NW, Starwood, Marriott. How much can we actually talk about ONLY that?
Some can, sure. Me? It would bore me to tears. It's not my
raison d'être. And it's pretty consistent, too, as those that hold up their noses at OMNI and other like forums are not my kinds of people, either. Where's the shrug smiley?
