'Cause for some unknown and completely unsubstatiated reason,most people associate post count with credibility.Therefore,when you see people like Pyro and p8ntball1016 racking up post counts with nothing but continuous stream of pointless and useless threads,posts and other items,it throws of that entire theory and seems unfair to those who truly offer usefull info and have less total posts.

I think.

Cphil was hving a bad week and decided to ban people for even questioning what he did. I got a ban for my sig being to big, and I never even got to see the warning until after he had banned me and I went looking to try and find them. I'm glad all that has stoped, so I'm hoping he's not gonna start enforcing that rule again.

i care for a few reasons, one being that i saw a bunch of people both banned and they got their post restarted, and some for not even post whoring. at the time i thought it was dumb to restart post counts, but now it just doesn't seem fair, all i see now is dumb post whoring all over the place and nothing happens to them, plus it is ruining the whole system of looking at peoples post counts and judgeing how active they are and how much of a respected ao user they are. post whoring is ruining that. well i think if they said they were gunna restart post counts then they should live up to their word, that or just dont say you will then dont.
