Sorry I didn't make a note of this. We noticed some users posting just to raise post count and we thought the "post count" really didn't represent "User Title". We wanted to reward deal contributors in some way.
I thought about this a bit...and you are correct. 'Deal contributors' should be rewarded or acknowledged in some way, possibly count the 'threads started'? However, I think assuming that those with 'high post counts' are 'doing it just for post counts' is a bit presumptuous.
I was raised to always say, 'thank you'. I know on the few threads I started, it's nice to see that acknowledgement and it is appreciated. Case in point, not posted to increase post count. Also, there are many great deals to jump on in Spoofee, I don't think anyone would disagree. One way to keep track if you partook or viewed it, is to make a post so the little check mark appears in the 'paper' on the left!
Again, not a post to increase post counts.
Sometimes increases in 'post counts' just happen. As for me, I'm amused by some of the 'level titles' and had a chuckle that I was a 'deal god' (short lived however). Did I know that was coming, no....but I chuckled.
Call me whatever, reduce my post count - doesn't bother me, but please don't assume what motivates me. Perhaps I can be a bit too sensitive at times or paranoid. Just wanted to clarify a point.
