I care about junk posts because I'm the forum administrator and I want to keep the boards useful and uncluttered with posts that waste people's time and have no point at all.

I've seen threads started because the member reached a certain number on his post count so the count certainly does matter to some folks here. Too much in some cases.

Maybe by no longer having a running post count it will cool the urge to post anything to add to that count. Maybe not - but I suspect I'm correct here.

I don't care how much someone posts or how long a post is (ahem) but posting a string of LOL's and silly one-liners back and forth are unnecessary if the only point is to reach some golden number on a post counter.

As for sigs, that's a long-running problem. I spend a lot of time on these forums and I've seen 15 - 20 lines or more of mods listed, including plugs used, oil used, and a lot of other useless information that no one cares about but is listed with every single post that member makes. It's out of hand in some cases. The giant photos and graphics are overdone, too, in some cases.

This is simply my opinion of course and Dan will do as he pleases as well as what is feasible. It's his call, not mine, but these are my observations based on what I've seen over the past year or so. Others have other opinions. So be it.
