After my recent venture into the Cafe, I have noticed an alarming increase in the amount of irrelevant posts (ie, this or that etc.)

What about a forum that these posts can go in, and if possible, posts in that forum do not contribute towards the persons progressive count.  Now, I know that number of posts don't matter, but there may be some people that belive that it does.

So, what do you think?

Actually, that's the whole purpose of the Café.

And post count numbers are a matter of the yabb script.  Which all goes to prove that it isn't post count that matters, anyway.

About two years ago a similar thing was requested. The result of that request was the Cafe. Grin

If the bosses consider spam an issue why not just delete all those threads considered spam, and ban them in the future. Its being sorted out in the screenshots why not elsewhere. I have posted before in these topics and am happy to take a hit in post count to clean the place up a little. I have to admit in the 2 and a half years here i havent seen it quite this cluttered.

As the guys have said - the Cafe was made for the personal - of little interest to anyone else  - stuff.  Wink

As always - if it gets seriously dumb......  well ... what to do?


I would suggest a 'thumbs down' smiley - to get the message accross ...

& in the absence of an easy icon to click (sorry!) (& for anyone who's still reading..) .. copy this into the insert image button ....

...


Or VERY simply - eyes to the sky .....  Roll Eyes

Anyone else with a better idea? We're all ears I'm sure ./.....   Smiley .... Above all we really must maintain the civil & polite atmosphere here ....

Just stop posts in the cafe from counting...

It should be possible.

If mine is anything to go by - No. Grin

I would welcome a few thousand knocked off my total. It just reminds me how much time I waste here. There must be more useful things I could be doing. Roll Eyes Tongue Wink
