Just curious - is there is a minimum number of characters that is necessary to qualify as a post???

 

You could try using just three words and see what the admins have to say about it.

 

Every post is put to a vote by the moderators.

If it contains useful information, then you get 1 added to your post count.

If it is a useless post, you have 1 subtracted from your post count.

With 7 moderators, you have to have 4 "yes" votes to get the post to count.

Mr. Thorpe, can of course, trump the vote if he finds the post particullarly useless,
and subtract 2-5 from your post count.


This is why posts in the "other" forum don't count anymore.
It got too time consuming trying to vote on them, and 99% of them aren't usefull anyway.

Around here there seems to be NO LIMIT to the number of characters posting

Never had a reason to find out that particular tidbit, so your guess is as good as mine

 

I am of course kidding.

I wouldn't think there would be a minimum?

You are all a bunch of charactors.

Nope, Looks like you can have just one digit and it still adds to your post count.

***NOTE***
I dont advise this for the only reason of boosting your post counts. Jack/Lary has taken the counts off before because of abuse and Im sure they wont hessitate to do it again if need be.

DR E dos it mater to you if you have 1542 K or 3291 K ? Thats ## You know. You do know that you help allot of people on this and other sights.

 

I have never figured out why post counts are so important to some of you. Personally I really don't care what my post count is and for all I care, that function can be removed. However I do like to see how many times a thread has been read and how many replies it has generated.
So why are post counts important

 

Remember Dr. E lives in Canada so you have to multiply his posts by .67 to get the American equivilent to his posts....

We love you Dr. "E"

Mod's please don't waste your time voting on this post it was useless....
