	I'm going to powerspam and level up! Increase Your PM Length

I think these stats are the most idiotic forum feature ever.

Not only is it ugly, but - even more then the titles - it encourages high post counts, as if posting alot actually means anything. I mean, why the hell would you want to put in a feature that turns posting into some sort of idiotic competition to see who can get the phattest stats?

Anybody that does that will find out that it will work just the opposite... Can you say "PCR"

It's also about "who's got the poorest stats"... I've seen posters with no-stats-at-all... (posted only in ot). Now THAT'S an accomplishment...

[edit]: Not that this new feature is 'I'msuperiortoyou'-fun... more like 'cute'-fun.

This is just silly.

It isn't a good fit for a CIV site.

RAH
Just one man's (or should I say high level magic user's) opinion.

I love postcounts, and this is just a more creative type of postcounts. Though I do think an A.D.M (P.R.O) plus health bar style stats would be more suitable.
And even though post-counts do create spam, I see that for me, it's just another motivation boost for sounding my opinions. Sometimes I'm too lazy to post, even when I've got something to say, but when there's a postcount, I often post anyways. Competition is good, despite the cheaters.

How many level 48 posters would it take to gang up and wipe out a level 75?

I'm going to start recruiting.

This isn't Everquest so level differences shouldn't be too hard to overcome. Ming could be taken down if there is enough people doing it. What is interesting though, is that Ming is level 75 and so is the strongest thing is Everquest.

He's strong but stupid, we can defeat him with some cunning trickery. Like maybe digging a big pit and putting some beer in the bottom of it.

Maybe the Fighter classes get more hit points than the Jesters?

Well you are clearly one of those dumb barbarians with a lot of hit points but not many magic points. 6 posts 'till I level up I think, wonder if I'll get a pop up asking me what skills and proficiencies I want to increase?

Gawd! How much spam can you generate? I posted here, and selected e-mail notification, and now every three seconds (more or less) I get an announcement that there has been a reply... Sheesh! ANyway, it would be nice to transform the whole forum into an RPG... If someone is annoying you with spam, you can go and PK them...

The hero is ALWAYS the fighter, the Mage is always the wimp ass that gets killed just when you need a heal spell.

Useless bugger.

"Level: shows how much you've posted
HP: shows how good your average posts(posts/day) is. if it's over 3, you'll have full HP
MP: shows how long you've been a member and how active you have been
Exp: shows how close you are to geting to a new level "
