The forum was active for only a day... Only 14 or so threads were made with a limited number of posts in each. Unlike Area 25, there was no porn, no real flaming, and nothing really serious beyond padding the ole post count.

Since it was April's Fools day, and it was reported... I think these penalities are reasonable and fair. (and mine is the opinion that matters)

However... If this situation should happen again. BEWARE!

Blah... Blah... Blah... Must you always find somebody else to blame for your own actions. You knew it was "wrong", and you did it anyway. Maybe you should be changed to 30%

And besides, my only posts were regarding my suspicion over an April Fool plant and describing the nature of how this could have been carried out if it was the case. And a fart in Alexander's Horse's direction.

I find these 'punishments' laughable (note inverted commas). You can delete the post count for all I care, it's days of actually indicating anything meaningful are gone. My personality is bigger than a post count anyway. You can do what you wish with it, throw it to the lesser mortals. Give 500 posts each to 14 poor, hard done to newbies, victims of the inability to register posts on the off-topic

What's considered to be wrong about posting in a dead forum? Is spam a problem if the only people seeing it are other spammers?

I'm just pondering those queries and hoping that the answer won't reveal severely anal tendencies regarding post counts.

Ooooh, get you.

I am still waiting for that post count reduction of 100%, but by now, you realise how pointless the whole thing is.

100% post count reduction

chnage of starting date to 5/2002

ban for a month (so that his first post is in 5/2002)

manditory name change and loss of avatar

I think that would be fair

I realized that when I handed out the penalties. The prank was reasonably harmless, so were the punishments.

With the exception of the person that started it, everybody else got a slap on the wrist.

Not the issue, people still know who I am and know the personality I am. I am more than a post count or a username. I am me.

I am glad we have got to the core of that Ming

See the thing was, I anticipated that it was a prank on your behalf. But the thing is, if it wasn't, you should be thankful to Siro, and then Eli for pointing this out, because due to the nature of how vB reports certain stuff from these fora, you'd have had great difficulty noticing it.

If you lose all your post counts I fear you would become a fallen idol and become yesterday's news. Before you know it you will be appearing in the Apolyton news column "What ever happened to...". It happens to so many celebrities.
