Re: Helpingteens Lounge And Post Counts
Not even self expression? I have to say i agree with chit chat and entertainment and all that not counting towrds post count... but the self expression seems like a vaild form to me, just my oppion, not a really big deal though hehe.

Rosca: They ain't Metal!

Re: Helpingteens Lounge And Post Counts
I don't see why useless posts should get you credit in the teenhelp ranking. I don't see how starting or reply to anything in the lounge helps anybody and therfor if it were to be counted the user ranks would be incorrect... I do think its nice how alot of other users where able to get into the 2XXX before this was stopped... They got alot of credit for alot of rubbish..

as much as you say that, who really cares how many posts someone has? weither it counts or not does it really matter that much?
It matters when somebody achieves a level of "Super Helper" when all they do is talk about whats on TV. I think the ranking system is there to show who has more experience in doing this. If I had posted in every dumb topic that came along way back when the SGS where opened I'd have the 2XXX level by now, But no, I stayed and actually went into the help areas and did things. And funny thing, i'm still considered a "member" ..... But thats because my post count shrinks 200 or so every time i get up in the higher numbers... I don't care though...

i agree with them. and plus SOME of the posts in chit-chat arent just spam they are good topics to have in there to talk about
i know canadacraig made a good topic in there
but self expression should be counted, it does mean something..
But it's just a few good topics. That doesn't mean you should make EVERYONE have post counts in Chit-Chat JUST for that.
I agree. Entertainment,fashion, and chit-chat shouldn't have post counts. Maybe self expression should,though.

Re: Helpingteens Lounge And Post Counts
I think self-expression should have post counts. Just wanted to add my voice there, not that my opinion counts. And Streaker's right. Some of the posts have points and uses. Like this one for example. It is in the teenhelp lounge area, is it not? And if I'm not mistaken, this one does have a point...

Re: Helpingteens Lounge And Post Counts
I dont really agree that self-expression should have post counts because people who reply can just abuse it for their post count to go up by just saying things like "It was good" and "I liked it".
There was a topic about that... here
If self expression did have post counts then there should be a rule about replys.. in my opinion.
