Not going to name names but I see that section riddled with the same users replying to newly registered users threads in order to see their post count rise. I feel like there should be a stop to this, anyone feel the same way?
 
yeah i agree members just abuse it to post boost
 
Yes, This annoy's me so much because they don't really care if FK has a new member.
They only care about there post count.
 
Well i am not really able to put my 2 cents in, But what about Philly? Isn't he the main offender?

Vouch from what i have seen all the newer members do spam this section.

What does it matter if Trojan posted the thread?
 
welcome to FK stay active and hq

I don't see a problem with it
since Crate got 1k
post
from that.
 
I don't see the problem in welcoming new members and telling them to be active?

It's a bot that automatically reply's to new threads in that section for Philly's account. It gives new members links to the help documents, and also ensures that Philly is the first to greet them.

As for others, it doesn't really bother me. If people want to post boost, let them. It only makes them look low quality.
 
Oh my gosh, Read the OP, then read Cults thread.
 
Thank you for the information Brian, I also see no problem in welcoming newer members. As for me i won't exactly be doing it. In my honest opinion it's really "Low Quality" writing.

"Welcome to FK stay active and hq". If everyone copies that, Where is our genuine greeting?

There is a difference between genuinely introducing a new member and just posting the same LQ thing in order to inflate their post count.
 
Kinda annoying, but oh well.. At least they get a welcome message. :p
And for the person who said something about Philly being the "main offender" or whatever. No, that was automated. I believe that's gone now as well.
 
Simple solution to this is that the post count in the section should not be counted obviously.

If members truly have the intention of genuinely welcoming members, this won't matter to them and they will continue doing so.

Yes, that is what I was thinking.
 
I'm just going to agree yes just to post boost.









No but seriously, people who copy and paste "welcome to fk stay active and hq" *cough *cough CRATE *cough *cough should be temp banned.
 
It's simple, they just shouldn't count towards your posts. Like post count even matters at all.
 
If you feel that someone is spamming in that section, simply report the posts, and a moderator/staff member will handle them.
