Needs to be fixed, or i estimate in approx 2-3 weeks, everyone will be complaning "God your just posting to increase you count blah blah blah". Can we skip the terrible flame war and just go straight to the solution? I think a trashing subforum would be suitable.
+1
A subforum would be more than enough.
Or, better yet, disable the forums postcount and label it a spam board :p
But I agree with the OP. That's a better idea
Postcount has been disabled for ages in the trash forum (if not since it was made). That was never the problem.
i don't think it needs to be here at all.

why a flamewar?
i do not see this forum as a place for the types of topics the trashing forums gets. i think it looks bad for MyBB to have their official support forums clogged up with such crap.
a subforum MIGHT be okay, but its still unprofessional. this is not your personal messenger service, its not the local bar to sit all day and chat it up. its a support forum. sure let there be some leeway from support only mode and have a small community feeling, but keep it to a minimum
I think that the Chit-Chat that occurs in the Chit-Chat forum is sufficient. There is no real reason for trashing. Flamewars will be handled.
Feel free to create your own trashing forum though.

Thats why a flamewar. It will happen.
It may look bad, thats why you hide it in a subforum. If needs be make a custom group for users +100 posts can only see.
See above response.

I have plenty, but the spambots are a little to many. And no, if someone posts a funny pic and someone posts as pic back, i can almost garruntee that the community will not react well to it.
The thread was closed and the argument ended. Are you suggesting that we just leave threads open and move them to this trashing forum so flamewars can continue there?
