OT posts no longer increment post count...

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

OK, I have noticed this and others have confirmed this. When you post in the OT, the post is not registered on your post count. However, if you post on-topic, it is registered. What is causing this? Is there a stealthy plan by the admins here?

This is a major problem on the forum, it hardly gives it a civvish feel any more.

What was the point in doing this, mods?

Well, I must say I'm surprised they didn't act quicker. The quick response of this thread confirms the general Apolyton mood:

"Oh no, I won't get to emperor for ages, NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"

Have I ever seen anything so pathetic? I think not......

okay, no panic...

it's probably an error, Mark couldn't do this to us...

he knows we're addicted....

anyway, if it was intentional I suggest to ban him for 5 weeks + 50 percent PC reduction

REVOLT!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHA
I experienced the same thing.
Now I really don't care but please think of the possible results from this action.
I can see OT vermin infesting the ontopic threads with spam to get their post counts up. You've done a good job keeping them locked up in their little quarter acre of Hell. Don't release the hounds now.

Editorial comment: No insult was intended by the phrase "OT vermin". Most of you know that I like to use graphic descriptors regardless of whether or not they are based on any version of reality.

And just checked, this one added on.
This is hilarious. Can't wait to hear some other responses from the OT Diehards.

My post count doesn`t seem to go up in the OT either. If they are targetting spammers, I would have thought that the stupidity of such a scheme would be obvious, and for that reason I don`t believe that Mark would do such a thing.

The obvious downside of this system is posting meaningfully in the OT doesn't increase the post count either....

This really sucks, I mean what about people like Lancer and MtG...are they going to be stuck on lowly titles when they obviously deserve higher? What a completely stupid idea to do.

They could even take over a disused forum if the mods aren't vigilant
