OT-posts

[Lord Martin]

It´s not an issue really.
But it just hit me that nowadays the post numbers a member have doesn´t really give him or her any benefits.
So why not allow the OT-posts to count against a persons total posts?
The OT Forum are far from the spamming ground it was back in the old days, and if a few more people would be attracted to post more just because of it, it would probably strengthen the community.

Oh, please, noooo. I'm afraid to learn how much I posted over there. I rather keep my lean & mean post count

I have mixed feelings about this. As wonderful as the OT forum is, posts there do not quite add to the value of Paradox products the way regular posts do. Regular posts include game strategies, mods, tech support, and discussions about how the games can be better.

My sentiment exactely.

Why judge a poster on his post count anyway?

 

[Woody Man]

Why have new people in the OT?

Who says post counts don't get you anything.
Any number of things are related to post count.

A link to a page where those things are listed would be useful... just to know.

Well, many OT post are more interesting than regular "Great update posts" in the AAR-section.

Ideally they should split the AARland post count from the regular one, I doubt the forum software allows for it though.
