Is it really a post count thing though??

Seems some people just like posting for the sake of posting.

About time someone said something, I couldn't agree more! It's certainly bringing the forum down, compared to what it was only a few yrs ago. Maybe the ranking system should be based on duration as a member, as opposed to b/s post counts?

Interesting how a couple of those known culprits have responded to this thread though. Ignorant halfwits still working on their post count...

On some other forums you are given awards for contribution

E.g if you sponsor players or organize forum activities on bigfooty you're given badges, if you upload some tabs or sheet music on ultimate-guitar you're given brag points or something to that nature, etc.

Maybe here the admins could have some sort of recognition to reward people who post useful guides, tutorials, regular fishing reports or just all-round helpful posts?

I can admit I make a fair few useless posts (mainly trying to generate some humour rather than increasing my post count, because i couldn't give two sh*ts about that), I think some sort of feature like this would definitely inspire myself and others to post more useful content rather than spamming nonsense.

Just a thought

It'd probably be more work for the mods but points/badges for reports and tutorials isn't a bad idea. A crappy badge for a short paragraph with no pics, all the way up to the Golden Broomstick for a serious effortpost with heaps of pics. Similar system for the helpful posts and tutorials, one point for a single post with some useful info up to life membership for an effort like that series of posts on tuna fishing or for whoever hacks Nude Up's sounder and posts all his secret spots.

I think Nude Ups secret spot are just a ruse to cover Barra Mick's secret spots, cheers davo
