Quality of the posts is more important than quantity.

I'd rather have 50 well thought out posts than 1500 all from Forum Games.

And that has to do with letting posts count in the Forum Games board... how?

Oh, I reread it, and you're right. :P

I like quality posts just as much as the next person. That doesn't mean that the posts from the Forum Games board shouldn't count. Post count is nothing but a number. It doesn't hurt anyone.

If people really go out of their way to brag about their post count, then they are just trolls, and should just be banned from the forum.

Actually, post counts are generally used as bragging rights (pretty much everywhere on the internet). Personally, I don't think they should count in forum games since someone could say "Look at the posts I've got!" when all they've been doing is just quickly posting numbers and other extremely short posts in Forum Games.

In that case just make a rule against saying positive things about yourself.
It'll do exactly the same thing.

Which is exactly you shouldn't be bothered if Forum Games posts don't count, right?

If it doesn't matter, then you shouldn't care. :-\
 
Any option that doesn't matter should be left on default, not left on the most recent choice.
 
Well, I do think Wayo makes a good point here, in that only people that don't care about post count would play the forum games.

The posts really shouldn't have been turned off in the first place. Adding them to the post count does no harm, and it really doesn't matter if people try to boost their post counts to 1000. As I might have said before, it's like people trying to boost their edit count on the wiki by making a ton of pointless edits just to raise their count. It will bring them to no avail, and they won't get a big reward most of the time. The same should apply to the forums.
 
Not everything people do revolves around getting rewards. They just want a reason to say their better than everyone. I personally agree with the forum games posts not counting.

Though I don't really feel comfortable with letting every single post count, I guess we could give you what you want. I just need to wait for Stoob to say something. :-\

Once again, if they continually go around and brag about their post counts, then they are just trolling people. Do to these trolls what you do to other trolls.
