quality of postings is important.
the post counts are supposed to encourage positive contributions. not just empty tcss.
its not a perfect system but those who use these forums reguarly can tell the difference a TCSS member and those who post when they have positive contribution.
Eldiablo,
To further improve the system, may I suggest a demerit fine for persistant TCSS posts.
This will reduce the level of clutter posted and further encourage positive contributions.
Based on the level of clutter (ok, rubbish, in simple english) posted, moderator can notify member and deduct demerit points/fine.
Additionally, when an exceptionally beneficial post is made, (eg JL's seriously informative posts), bonus round points should be added.
