    "+50 post count" vbplaza option - poll

    Another member brought the ramifications of the "+50 post count" vb option up. Wanted to do an informal poll, and see what other people thought of it.

    As a note: This is regardless of whether you will actually use the option or not

    A suggestion: Perhaps substantially increase the "price" for this option.

    Simply ups your post count 50 points. Pointless unless you're a newb who demands respect because of his postcount. (all together now: )

    And to think I was like that. I think I need a shower. Or several.

    If it cuts down on the number of people spamming to get a higher post count then I'm all for it. I tend to dislike post counts in general though.

    That, I hope you... I mean the others have learnt, will never happen. (j/k #1)

    It's not how much you post that counts. It's about what you post.

    Nah, what you need is a high-power water host, those kind the police use on riot mobs. (j/k #2)

    As for postcount +50, not such a good idea. Not so much about newbies jacking it up, (who cares after you've had 1000 posts?) but it seems many of us depend on that little number to determine who's new around (and hence to pick on/befriend with). Giving the opportunity to jack it up confuses people.

    Of course, grumpy old men pick on anyone anyway. (j/k #3)

    I'm against it. I can sense some people feel that they are superior to others through the post count. I'm rather proud of mine. Not that I'd use that against other members. However, the post number is meaningless when it can just be bought away.
