    Default eliminate mindless games post

    Hello admins,,

    what do you think about eliminating mindless games post from showing up in the "new posts" and "whats new"
    pages?

    when members post in the mindless games thread, they usually make numerous posts, usually more than 5
    and as a result, other more informative posts get eliminated to guests who check in periodically in the "new posts"
    and "whats new" page.

    How does a "new post" get eliminated (regardless of what it is) if it's a new post? They all show up as far as I know and 'more informative' posts do not get eliminated. Would you eliminate Chico's Pic of the day posts for the same reasoning?

    maybe "eliminated" is not the right word .. LOL

    I think "the noof" understood my post


    when I check in at what's new ,,, I get a page full of "mindless games" posts
    which pushes chico's posts out of the page ....

    what I'm trying to say is ,,, I'd rather check in and see chico's new posts than
    the mindless games posts

    in fact ,,, I'd rather check in and see anybody else's post instead of "count backwards from 1000"

    I see your point but when I click on 'New Posts' every post that has been made since I last logged on appear on the page...and sometimes a second page so I don't see that anything is missing.

    I haven't paid attention whether the "mindless games" posts count toward your post count but way back when they didn't use to and that's the way it should be. Post count means nothing if they're all useless posts, again, JMO. It may be fun to post in these threads but NOT just to get your post count up......

    With that logic we should also not count posts made in the Thoughts and Prayers, Raffles, Chit Chat, Site/Member Praise and Jokes and Riddles sections as they could be considered useless posts. I consider all those posts by IKS and IPTV 'service providers' useless but there are lots of members here that don't. JMHO but a post is a post no matter where it is or what it says. "One man's garbage is another man's gold". As DU says, what does post count mean anyway? The only thing I can think of is that it shows who the members are that regularly participate in the forum.

    PS: Don't forget to participate in this year's Satfix Football Pool (which could also be considered useless...but we sure have a lot of fun )

    I have this little wheelie thing on my mouse that scrolls the page down for me. It's a neat invention that allows me to move the page up quickly.
