Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted July 28, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 28, 2014 I think on this Forum we need a Post Count Bot. Something that would automatically post something like the following, for example, with appropriate information inserted: Thread title - "Congratulations <insert member's name> Text - "You've reached <insert post count> posts! In recognition of this you've earned <insert prize> and now receive <insert new privileges i.e. 'moderator'>. Plus some other exaggerated, insincere, and fluffy praise strictly for flattery. You see, this idea occurred to me when I realized I'd passed 1,000 posts - a veritable milestone, no less - and no fanfare, no celebration, no fireworks, no speeches. Nothing. I think at least upon reaching these milestones Forum members should at least receive a participation trophy! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted July 28, 2014 Share #3 Posted July 28, 2014 Great work, Thad! While others may have many more posts, Thad's 1K are all quality posts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzoo Posted July 28, 2014 Share #4 Posted July 28, 2014 FAIL - I thought it would be a Bot that would automatically and artificially update our post counts so we wouldn't have to go to SW (like some people have done) and whine to get out post counts inflated.

Nate Posted July 28, 2014 Share #5 Posted July 28, 2014 yea, if you are oblivious to your posting milestones, why should "big Brother" keep track of it for you? This all sounds like some Obammy sort of nanny state policy if you ask me I never needed a post bot to know when I hit the thousand post mark. I did it the old fashioned way, heckling Obammy voters until I got to 999 posts, then posting my triumphant "millennial" rant This post count bot is for sissy boys and city folk, not hard working, real American posters!

kingtermite Posted July 28, 2014 Share #7 Posted July 28, 2014 Great work, Thad! While others may have many more posts, Thad's 1K are all quality posts. In that case I think we need a filter bot that doesn't count non-quality posts in the post count. Most of us high post count peeps would drop to the bottom of the barrel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share #9 Posted July 28, 2014 Great work, Thad! While others may have many more posts, Thad's 1K are all quality posts. Thank you for your kind words! <bows> In that case I think we need a filter bot that doesn't count non-quality posts in the post count. Most of us high post count peeps would drop to the bottom of the barrel. I think that might be "Post Count Bot's Drag Queen Transgender Multicultural Wall Street CEO Brother Bot". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted July 28, 2014 Share #10 Posted July 28, 2014 I think that might be "Post Count Bot's Drag Queen Transgender Multicultural Wall Street CEO Brother Bot". sounds more like the main plank of the DNC platform if you ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share #11 Posted July 28, 2014 sounds more like the main plank of the DNC platform if you ask me I think I'd be safe in saying there's not much that doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted July 28, 2014 Share #12 Posted July 28, 2014 I think I'd be safe in saying there's not much that doesn't. I would never mistake anything with the words "responsible" or "Moral" or "American" to be a part of Democratic policy GYSOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
