Top Poster List

On several forums, I've also seen a "Top Ten Posters" list to supplement the Staff List.

Possible? If so, anytime soon? :whistling:

Is that really necessary? That list could lead to more spam in the forums, since more want to be in the top 10.

Not such a strong argument, since it comes from me the one who spammed quite a lot, but I have stopped :whistling:

You can do that by searching the member list, sort by post count in descending order. Or do you mean you want a link to it so you can view it without going through all that crap?

I was thinking just a little perk to the people most active on YC. I mean, hey. I've made fewer than 100 posts in actual music forums. Probably fewer than 50. But I still am going on 2000 posts (unlike Mark, who has far exceeded me).

I've just realised that my posting rate is massively bigger than anyone else's I've seen. *wanders off bemusedly*

We had a top posters page, but I think Mike got rid of it because it only encourages pointless spammy posting.

Speaking of which, where is Mike?

He's on holiday.

Any idea when he's coming back?

He will be back in the middle of August.

k, thanks.

We also used to have a top poster of the day list ;)

I've heard of forums where the post count is hidden and I think I like that idea better than having a list to flaunt spammers. That way, people don't needlessly post to rack up their count :huh:

I suppose that makes sense on some level, although I think Nico's record is still standing. 4500 or something?

By the way Sapphire, I've noticed your posts are becoming rather spammy again. I can easily set you down to 500 again.

I'm not going to dignify that abuse of power with a response.

It might be an abuse of power if there were no reason for doing it, or if what you lost were something of any value.

I'm not going to dignify that abuse of power with a response.

Honestly, how many of your posts were original thoughts - which is to say, not ripped off from either Nico, JohnGalt, Hands, or Oscar Wilde? I'm guessing I can count them on my hands? While wearing mittens?

I'd personally be inclined to make sure you never even hit triple digits, but that's just me.

Caltech.....!!!!

Is my heerrrooooooo, lalala.

I want to write a ballad for you. Anyways, it was a fun addition but I think it got too competitive, even if it was an unspoken competition.

There is already a round-about way to view the top ten posters. Now I don't want to divulge it for the reasons touched upon in this thread. :huh:

I didn't remove the link, by the way, it just so happens vBulletin doesn't come with that by default, unlike IPB.

And yes, user post count alterations can easily be arranged if necessary.
