What happened to the post countings and reputation?

Oh no!!! they are gone...I have no reason to live anymore... :lol:

I just hope it will help ppl to quit posting useless crap and post like "good point" or "interresting thread" all the time.
 
I very much doubt it will stop that. There's a chance it may stop some people, especially if members can't sort the member-list in order of postcount (like here) just to make it harder to compare themselves.
 
Märk removed them just to stop some people's obsession of spämming the board. You can still see your posts on the members list, though.

Unfortunately, Profanity is still alive and well.
 
It's annoying. My effort to understand what makes people popular or unpopular on online forums is doomed to fail, if I can't even have the basic data. Mark is slowing progress down.
 
Please check the longer post I just submitted to the "Thanks obsessive spammers!" thread for a discussion of the point, if you're interested....

hey Mark...can you open thread "who gets the last word in" too, please? we had a lot of fun and great time in it. thanks if you can do it! :)
That's one thread I decided to leave closed. The point was to see who would get the last word in, and Steve did.

Also, the Rep thread will remain closed to. That was rather pointless. Most of the other threads have been reopened and merged with the new threads that were created to replace them.

I did that because a forum filled with a bunch of repetitive threads is silly, and it's not a race to see how many new threads can be posted in a day like Off Topic is.
