'I Support'

Grave · Jan 17, 2013

Everyone who's saying remove post count: shut the fuck up.
Everyone who's saying no support: shut the fuck up.

There's a million ways to spam and whoever wants to get post-count can easily do it. Just because one person may abuse it doesn't mean we should take it away for everyone. I also don't think people should receive infractions for anything that's on-topic. Moderators are starting to forget why it's there anyway: make sure people actually add to the forums. If FireZ gets to post "Vetoed" on every pardon he wants to, then I damn hell want to be able to post "I support" wherever I see fit.

A poll with 'I support' / 'I dont support' would suffice for this. No need to remove the rule.

People just say "I support" to boost post count.
If they "I support" or "no support" but than add some constructive criticism or perhaps explain why it's a good idea beyond the point the OP has, or even why it's a bad idea then that's fine.

A poll would fix the spam posts.
It's not hard to add a little extra to "I support" or "no support" if you actually think it's a good or bad idea. You just say what you're thinking...

If it's postcount you guys are worried about, people can get it easily in other sections. You could go into the music section and post what song you're listening to over and over. Not really a plausible reason.

Yeah Shoops got a real point. For the people who want to justify their reasoning clearly can do so while the pass-by people can just have a vote poll. So really just add a new rule that you cannot post things like I support or not support without justifications. Also reading the reasoning for those whom, want to add on really help people to make their decisions. Therefore, I also agree to Heeatz terms.
