Post counts

[SpankMe]

Posts in Rant or Rave & Jokes and Humour no longer add to your post count. This will also affect your rep power and how quickly new members become a Senior Member.

It's made a big change to the top posters list (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/memberlist.php?&order=DESC&sort=posts&pp=30) :D

[Joni]

You're my hero! :love:

:lol:

[jrandom]

Nice move Spank!

:niceone:

[007XX]

I thought I'd noticed something slightly different...:lol:

[Kornholio]

Ah well that will explain a few things then...

As you were :D

[TerminalAddict]

all that effort to get over 1000

now I'll have to post proper stuff ... eek!

Some people appear to have lost the vast majority of their post count...:laugh:

[James Deuce]

Thank fuck there's still someone sadder than me.

[Pumba]

Thats great, my post count is back bellow one per day now.

makes me look like less of a geek

[jrandom]

Thank fuck there's still someone sadder than me.

Yes, but it's Frosty...

[crashe]

My goodness...... some lost heaps.



Some were up at 10,000 plus posts and now they are way down the list at 3,000 to 4,000 posts.

[Bullitt]

No More senior membership for me:crybaby:

Hope this dont backfire and cause people to start spamming the non offtopic threads more.

[Joni]

Hope this dont backfire and cause people to start spamming the non offtopic threads more.That is what Moderators are for! :niceone:

Ahhhh feck it.

You just took quarter of my posts.

So much for my 2 X's.

Shuddup, shuddup, shuddup.

[Bullitt]

Im sure the Mods were looking for more work:niceone:

[Mom]

Good move! Admit to actually laughing out loud to see how some members post counts have declined!

Senior membership actually takes on some meaning now.

[boomer]

Yeah but I been here two years longer so you talk more shit:girlfight:


funnily enough.. bike shit :wacko:


Finns gone back to a zero count... :rofl:

Could of been a lot worse.. they could have ended up with the booby price... ahhhahahhaha a virago :lol:

[Scorpygirl]

Ok I'm talking bikes from now on....Bikes, bikes, bikes!!!!!!!! :whistle:....I'm bored now!!! :lol:

[Kendog]

Haha, now my post count is higher than Mrs Kendog.
I always said she ranted a lot :dodge:

Nice one Spank:niceone:

Edit: For a laugh I had a look at my 'Find all posts' page. It says I have 2069 posts of which 1547 count = 75%
I had a look at some other members, noticed one that has 1302 posts of which 97 count = 7%

[Maha]

Noooooooooooo, what the hell am i going to talk about now?....:eek:...at least im ahead of Grahameeboy now....my work is done!...:devil2:

[Mental Trousers]

That idea would've made a fantastic April Fools.

[Maha]

That idea would've made a fantastic April Fools.

April fools in November?...not even Spank could get away with that....;)

[Colapop]

Are there people who are actually concerned about post count?

Good move though. It should weed out the crap posters... :innocent:

[tri boy]

Cool.:woohoo: Means I get to open another bottle for a 1000 posts again.
Your a genius Spank.:Punk:

Funny thing is that I kept my rep points for the posts I lost so all a bit odd really...........

I could understand PD posts etc being deducted but am in 2 minds about rant and rave etc as it is part of the Forum and is part of the fun...........is there a specific reason like computer space...........

It is only points but normally changes are effective from a specific date rather than counted back....even the Govt don't do that.......ah well

[Virago]

Could of been a lot worse.. they could have ended up with the booby price... ahhhahahhaha a virago :lol:

Nothing wrong with boobies - they're something that the site c*nts can look up to...:rolleyes:

[Joni]

Funny thing is that I kept my rep points for the posts I lost so all a bit odd really...........It does not affect the rep you got for the posts.

It affects your "rep power" in other words what your rep is worth when you give it out. Rep power is based on how much rep you have, how many posts you have etc etc....

So your reputation points wont drop, just your reputation that you give out.

[Maha]

..I could understand PD posts etc being deducted but am in 2 minds about rant and rave etc as it is part of the Forum and is part of the fun...........



The most used forum i suspect....

[fireliv]

Just checking what i am now

[Virago]

...I could understand PD posts etc being deducted but am in 2 minds about rant and rave etc as it is part of the Forum and is part of the fun...

A valid point. But where do you draw the line?

If it discourages non-bikers from signing up simply to talk crap, and tell us all how depressed they are, it must be a step in the right direction...

[stify]

A valid point. But where do you draw the line?

I talk crap, ride a bike, am simple and get depressed....I'll go if you want me to...if thats what you're into.......:bleh:

[The Pastor]

dude..... why?

[Virago]

Perhaps the line should have been effective to stop future non-bikers rather than those loyal to the site.

[boomer]

No - if you leave I'll be depressed...:bleh:


Unfortunately the same couldn't be said for you ;) You need help packing?

[merv]

Damn I gotta do 5,000 all over again. Same damn thing happened when I was approaching 2,000 I think when you started putting pearls of wisdom to PD or whatever it was you did back then.

[Trudes]

Hahaha, that's funny, great move!:Pokey:

[miSTa]

Nice, very nice, and long over due. :niceone:

[Skunk]

Excellent move!

Does posting here increase my post count? If so I have more to say. :lol:

[Cajun]

Good move spank,

One happy chappy now

[Weaver]

Scumdog is going to have change his signature to "poking lesser mortals in the eye for over 6000 posts"

EDIT: Ohh, post 69er

did you post in any of buckbucks threads? apparently hes left and removed everything he ever gave to the site, its possible that some of your posts went when he deleted threads? all i can think of.

[Wellyman]

I lost 200 posts. I dont spend enough time on this site to care, Have something called a real life.

[Curious_AJ]

I don't actually know now.. and I can't check coz the threads are gone as you say... lol..

GRRR they were hard earned posts too!

sorry... I'm just angered lol.. and lots of other people have lost posts too... bugger it!

[marty]

you're angered because you lost a post count? or that 903 of your posts were obviously just shite? sad, sad, man

[Curious_AJ]

waah... I liked the flashy flashy thingie i had :(

[Curious_AJ]

well, small things amuse my small mind :D can you blme me for being stupid? no, blame my parents...

anyway, so THAT'S where all the posts went... :(

[marty]

and sniper/hitcher - man am i disappointed in you guys.

[NighthawkNZ]

the good thing it doesn't make me look so geeky now lol

[Mom]

waah... I liked the flashy flashy thingie i had :(

AJ, be aware that outside of rant and rave/PD your posts will be moderated more than you are used to. Really, dont be surprised if you get your posts moved to the PD post thread if they are anything like the above. Your flashy, flashy thingie is of no real concern to anyone, and most importantly should not be to you either.

[Toaster]

A valid point. But where do you draw the line?

If it discourages non-bikers from signing up simply to talk crap, and tell us all how depressed they are, it must be a step in the right direction...

Agreed. Nice move! A good reminder to us all we need to keep on track.

Try posting something to do with motorcycling and thee might see your post count rise,(it is a motorcycling forum after all)...if you find it that important.

I was trying to have a sense of humour ... *doh*

and whats the point of having a "rant and rave" section when you cant rant and rave???

further, I dont post much outside this section because I don't know shyt about shyt in any of the other sections.. can you blame me? no.

[Gremlin]

and whats the point of having a "rant and rave" section when you cant rant and rave???
of course you can rant and rave... it still exists...

The forum does not exist solely to provide space for dribble... and in case you didn't know... post counts don't matter in the real world... :calm:

[Joni]

and whats the point of having a "rant and rave" section when you cant rant and rave???Why can't you rant and rave? The forum has not gone anywhere....

doh: Gremlin and his lightening fast fingers.

Keep in mind AJ, the post count is not what makes the person.... dont take it so seriously.

[Curious_AJ]

lol, off topic... I dunno why this wasnt merged with another thread...

[skelstar]

Good shit Spank. Best initiative thats happened to KB since I've joined...

Now might get rid of some of the chaff huh?

[James Deuce]

Not likely. I rather think the chaff is starting to chafe.

[skelstar]

You poor thing!

<img src="http://www.littlehandsmusic.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/Becker_Violin.jpg">

[klingon]

Fantastic. :) A combination of this new initiative and careful moderation of the on-topic forums might actually tempt me to keep reading all the way to the end of some of the threads. Well done team and good luck to the mods who have to implement it!

[Deviant Esq]

Interesting. But a fair enough point to make.

I suppose you could still show the other posts... something like Bike Posts: 500. Other Posts: 250. I don't know... there've been some pretty valid, interesting discussions that have been posted there on account of being non bike related... but IMO KB isn't just about bikes. These threads were no less valid to the people who posted them.

[skelstar]

No need to validate people who just come here to wank on about 'my navel-lint is blue....what do I do?'. Theres other sites ideal for that sort of thing.

Wow, you lost a third! :lol:

I'm clearly a `proper' motorcyclist, keeping 77% of my posts. Winnar! Or perhaps I have no social skills so there's no point me hanging out in Rant/Rave :laugh:

Never really paid much attention to post count to be honest; was surprised to see it was well over 2000 posts the other day. Would be a pisser if you are now below the threshold for Senior Member benefits after this change though :Pokey:

You can still rant and rave! It is something that I am trying to perfect actually!........Rant and rave away, it just wont add to your post count. This is primarily a biker site, for bikers to talk bike/riding related shit. It is also a forum for some serious discussion on all things motorbike related. No one is stopping us from ranting and raving love, it has just taken a well deserved back seat, think of a bit like Trevor Mallard.......R&R has taken a lesser role in the grand scheme of things.

The flip side of this argument is that those who give a shit about their post count will rant & rave in different forums to increase their rep. This could turn out to be a counterproductive move:Oops:. Time will tell :yes:

[Laava]

Geez AJ, you really did get ripped! I lost a heap too but serves me right for taking motorcycling and this site as well too lightheartedly! Time for my serious face and some technical threads!:msn-wink:

It's not like they were doing any harm burbling away in R&R... some of it was quite funny, if the intent of this action was to make them go away then we will be left with a very sterile site indeed.:corn::corn:

[Kittyhawk]

Erm.....Firstly its just the net...and secondly WhoTF cares its just posts...not like really means much...

I can find better things to worry about. Like what finish Im going to put on my new cage :whistle: or what colour helmet Im going to wear on saturday, doin motox (the perfect date always involves bikes!)

[inlinefour]

But this time it will be about bikes :D

It was becoming more difficult to find something worth the read. Hopefully this will also bring some peace to the site also.

[Indiana_Jones]

Now why would you do a thing like this!

well.. i have a feminine streak.. i know I do... but worrying about helmet colours?? lol..

I'd rather worry about whether someone can see my arse cheeks peeping out of these shorts or not... lol

Everyone has a "perfect date" thought...kewl that it was the museum..

Well this thread has now also turned into a "Rant and rave", so how about it gets hiffed in there and everyone who has done multiple posts whinging about it go back down, it's a cunning move to use this thread to boost your sad little post count, but alas, it won't last I'm sure.

I am wondering about the "Jokes & humour" section being affected. That does add a bit of spice to the place.So why would it be affected? Why would the "spice" be gone?

From what I have read in this thread, it seems quite a few people have just been posting to get their post count up.... to me, that alone shows that this decision was the right one, surely its about what you contribute to KB?

Anyway.... quality not quantity is something a few on here dont seem to get.

at least now, post counts give some vague idea of how much a user actually contributes to the motorcycle world of KB as a motorcyclist about motorbikes.

vague tho' :)

[Joni]

vague tho' :)But in the right direction though.... this is Kiwi BIKER.

[007XX]

I personally don't see what the problem is...I post for the awesome conversations I have on line with people I really like.

Some people may consider that drivel, and fair enough too, but I enjoy it. Now wether that goes into the post count or not, I don't give a hoot, I'll still have the same banter!

But it has highlighted to me that I need to make a bit more of an effort to look at more directly bike related threads and contribute somehow.

I got to admit that generally in these threads, I will do more reading than posting, as I am a self confessed ignoramus when it comes to mechanics, and am not stupid enough to post on something I know nothing about!

Interesting conclusion. It is very different to the conclusion I came to.

I also don't know much about bikes, so I also do a lot more reading than posting. This change doesn't tell me that I should post more often in bike-related posts. I will still continue to read and learn. But it does mean that my post count more accurately reflects my lack of knowledge about bikes. I'm fine with that. :yes:

[jrandom]

Hmm, and that seems to go hand in hand with beer...

Gosh, we haven't had a beer thread in ages!

I think you have a valid point here V.

Some of us stumble upon this place in a search for information and experience as we try to get into the whole biking scene. Being a complete newbie to everything bike related I guess I don't have much knowledge about bikes to share - so does that mean I should just remain a lurker or is it still ok to post a few questions and throw in my 2 cents worth? With time I have experiences that may be valuable for other members, I'll stumble upon and post questions that have merit and eventually I might be able to help someone else solve a problem. At least that's what I would hope for.

IMHO an internet forum is valuable mainly because it's a handy way to share information and knowledge between users with very different backgrounds and experience.

If it's a friendly place with a good social side to it (and KB seems to be mostly like that) then that's an added bonus. However, my only concern would be that if anyone is indeed just posting to up their postcount then you'll just muddy the serious threads (i.e. on-topic) with more spam. Sure enough this can be moderated - but it's still work for the mods.
In the end - post counts :whocares:

Yes, I agree...what i meant by my conclusion, is that I saw that I came down from 2000 (just over by 6 too...:crybaby:) to just over 600. So I guess I realised I wasn't really posting much in the "serious" threads...:p

And I'm okay too about not knowing much on bike engineering...

So what conclusion did you come to then?

Exactly!!!!

Post count may have become (to some) part of their online identity, hence the insecurity that arose from loosing said post counts...:sherlock:

Well, that's my freudian half assed interpretation anyway...:scratch:

Bottom line is: we're still the same bunch of people, KB is still the awesome site that it is and tomorrow looks fantastic for a ride! :2thumbsup:scooter::sunny:

Nah, you're not allowed to say that. It's only the Internet you see. It doesn't MEAN anything.

[SimJen]

bugger so I dropped from over 1000 to 740ish.....
My 1000th post thread will now have to happen again!
Can't see the point to be honest, internet forum post counts either tell you that the person has nothing better to do or they have been on the forum longer than you. To me it doesn't mean more experience as you'd be dumb to believe half whats written on forums anyway unless they can back it up.

[Kendog]

Equality for all, hide the post count all together.

Problem solved.

[jrandom]

You know what's cool?

"1000th post" threads will now become impossible. Because, you see, they will be off topic in anything but 'Rant or Rave', and posts there don't count toward your total!

One's 1000th (or whatever) post will always have to be bike-related, and that is the way it should be.

Of course, you can then go post something in RoR and pat yourself on the back, but that post itself will not be your "1000th".

:yes:

I'm all about it.

[mynameis]

I thought I'd noticed something slightly different...:lol:


omg...

I get home from work... and before work I was on 1000 and something posts...

and now.. I'm on 97... where the HECK did they all go????!!!!

MOOOOODS!!!!!!

Bahaha see who's post counts have gone half lol..GOOD MOVE Spank !!

[jrandom]

before work I was on 1000 and something posts...

and now.. I'm on 97...

About time, too.

Here's a tip to remember: when in doubt (which, if I were you, would be pretty much always), just shut up.

What you have written and posted to this forum to date has made a fair number of people dislike you. That's not an insult or anything, just a plain statement of fact for you to consider. If you, like most of us, prefer to go through life with the respect and regard of other people, you might want to closely examine the way you interact on KB. You have created an image of yourself as a vapid fool with no real interest in or knowledge of bikes.

Bear in mind that this is a forum intended for motorcyclists, which you most definitely are not. Even when discussing non-bike-related topics, that fact remains constant. You are not an accepted part of this particular community; you are simply foisting yourself upon it.

That situation can change, but first, you will have to change.

There are plenty of NZ-based online forums for young people to hang out in and use for their discussions without annoying older folk who associate with each other on the basis of specific shared real-world interests. The suggestion has been made to you several times that you seek out those forums and take your contributions there, rather than using SpankMe's resources (which many of us also support financially on a regular basis) to engage in what the majority of the KB members see as pointless and annoying lollygagging.

Might I suggest that you examine that suggestion on its own merits?

[bungbung]

You must spread some reputation around blah blah blah.

Good move Spank. I reckon the rep function should only be linked to the bike related posts as well, since so many people seem to base their self worth on that too.

An observation- there seem to be a whooooole lot of people saying "I don't care that I've lost 573 posts"....yet they knew how many they had before they were lost. Either that or theres a way of telling???

I have no idea how many posts I have lost, because I genuinely didn't care how many I had in the first place.

This change on KB brought out some strange reactions in people… some of the people bitching about it was not a surprise at all… however some of the people who were apposed to it really surprised me.

Don't worry about having a low post count if you have over 2 posts you above the average.
There are plenty of ways to get it up into the thousands. One easy one is to welcome every new member just make sure your posts are over 10 characters and your sweet.

Infact having a high post count may just be an indication of keyboard diarrhea.
