    Which is why I don't see why the current one just can't be reformed and moderated.

    Look at the thread poll.

    Now look at your post.

    Now look at the poll again.

    Now back at your post.

    Sadly, your post is not the poll, but this sequence should have answered your question.

    Look at the line below this.

    Now back up.

    Congratulations, you escaped the loop. You have earned the answer to your question.

    No. It's not. It's whether or not your should get post count for GCT. Because, as you have demonstrated, none of your posts in it are actually useful.

    Like, say, that one page of SparkyxSparki RP. Why you would take up a page of convesation between you and yourself, I don't know or care, but it IS a point FOR this resolution.

    Because you said repeatedly it WAS you. Not to mention, it seems like a thing you would do to grab attention.

    No point in beating a dead (banned) horse (pony account), though, so please, go on. Explain to us how our logic is flawed and your random gifs are in any way an argument to refute it?

    Sparky, you're not fooling anyone.
    Just drop it, and let it pass.

    Guys, it wasn't Sparky. It was a combination of multiple people, DanSze, greyOne, and a couple of others harrassing Sparky.

    So leave him alone.

    If you didn't want attention, you wouldn't fly off the handle and be hyper-defensive every time it was brought up.

    Not to mention that I meant it as in you and your clone, not you and your alt.

    EDIT:
    Clearly.

    Do you know what else is pointless?

    A broken pencil!::S:

    But in all seriousness, I think the arguing should now stop. As the great Pinkie Pie said, "All this fighting gets us nothing, but hoof in mouth disease"

    This thread beats the general chat thread! We can stay on a topic for a full page!

    Back to the original point, now.

    So, I'm looking at the poll results...

    I'm gone for a hour, thead explodes. Saikyo, I saw you earlier post, the one about making the chat serious all the time. Remember what I said about turning the forum into a business. You're taking the fun out of the forum. Making it a place of boredom. You want post count gone, you want titles gone, you want all the things that set somepeople apart gone.

    INB4 labels blah blah blah.

    Why don't we remove sig,avatars and usernames. We can be the new 4chan.

    Post count is the new rep. It is equally silly as rep, and has the same effect as rep.

    I belive the problem with titles was, and is, the fact that they are an extension of your post count. They are basically your post count, rounded to the nearest denomination, and then changed from a numeric value to a string containing letters. It is still basically post count.

    Besides, there are many other things that set people apart. How many times they pressed the "reply" button should not be something that does.

    I am okay with this.

    Which defeats the purpose of even doing all this. I've seen the thread. Is it constructive, does it offer anything to the site. Blah blah blah. This is all pointless now.
