Short of getting tomb stoned....
or starting new account-is there any way to get our post count cleared? I don't need any special number to say what I want and if having a low post count means you disregard me so be it.






Or is it just too silly to worry about?:shrug:

31. I hope I didn't leave the impression I was trying to undermine the forum
Because that was not what I had in mind.

Cheers!

3. The second thing.
If you don't need any special number, why are you concerned about it?

5. You want to reset your post count to zero?
I can't imagine why you'd want to do that, but the simplest way is to change your username.

And cancel your current account.

You might want to PM Skinner or EarlG to confirm this.

have to go through the hazing again. :D

9. B-b-but you're one post away from the magic number!
I don't get it. There's nothing stopping you (not even post count) from speaking your mind as long as you follow the rules. As well, there's nothing stopping any of us (not even post count) from agreeing or disagreeing with you.

As long as none of us are jerks about it, that is.

12. This was post 999
If you write one more post it will show 1000+. It doesn't go above that, and that is a very respectable post count. Just one more post and you will have been here always.;)

You can do it. I'm rooting for you.

13. Why is everyone so overly dramatic
about being banned?

has anyone actually READ the rules? Takes alot to be tomb stoned.

Just e-mail the admins if you are so freaked out about "banning"!

17. Why can't you say what you have to say with a high post count?
I don't understand what you're trying to achieve.

25. Some more paranoid DUers pay extra attention to low post counts
They think everyone with under a thousand is a Republican spy or something. It's stupid, but hey, they notice.

20. Don't worry about it. Anyone who would blow off what you say because of a low post count is
Edited on Sun May-16-10 07:34 PM by salguine
probably not someone worth listening to anyway. They seem to forget that they, too, once had a post count if "1".

By the same token, having a high post count shouldn't carry any more weight, either. When I see someone has a post count of 45,000, I don't think, "Wow, now that deserves extra attention because of his post count"...I think, "Doesn't he have a job?"

21. There is much around here that can be too silly to worry about.
The best advice I got about being a part of this place was to keep a thick skin handy. I much prefer you feel free to say whatever is on your mind without feeling disregarded, but I'm not everybody. The important part is neither is whoever brought you to the frustrated place I sense you are.

:hug: if it helps.

23. Ha! As long as we keep this thread alive, you can't post! Once you hit 1,000
it won't make any sense. Not that it makes much sense right now....
