It has been discussed between myself and Sydney and we're in agreement on a few things. It is still a hard no on making the spelling, counting, lyrics word for word games count. If enough people want the games threads to count, I'll completely reconfigure the arcade section, possibly by scrapping it and starting from scratch.
Games that cause the person to actually think and have to come up with something to say will count. Games where you have to be creative in your replies will count to your post count.
Counting/spelling/word by word/no thought games (and I specifically named the dates of the year thread and the months of the year thread in my conversation with Sydney) will either become against the rules entirely or will continue to not count.
If the section gets completely overhauled, a new section wide rule will be made that will go something like this: No more than two (2) consecutive posts per thread per day. There must be a 24 hour gap between your 2nd and 3rd consecutive posts.
I spent far too long making the ranking system for this website for people to abc 123 their way to the top of the rankings. Besides, everybody on the forum is older than 4 which is about when people stop getting rewarded for being able to count and spell.
So there's the people's options. Option 1, everything stays as is, option 2, threads count for post count but much stricter rules will be put into place to prevent spamming your way to the top.

For me it is okay the way it already is. I don't think we are just posting to get a new rank or the post count up until it reaches the moon and after it reached the moon it some day will reach Krypton. (which is already exploded)

I am in no way, shape, or form trying to degrade your ranking system, and I completely agree that the abc/123 games/word by word are just for posts. Maybe putting the games that aren't going to count in their own section, and then if you wish games to count, they're put in they're own section with categories. I don't know, just an idea. "If the section gets completely overhauled, a new section wide rule will be made that will go something like this: No more than two (2) consecutive posts per thread per day. There must be a 24 hour gap between your 2nd and 3rd consecutive posts." Could you explain this a little more? I'm not sure I'm understanding it.

Person A posts Person B posts Person A posts This is ok. Person A posts Person A posts Person B posts This is ok. Person A posts Person A posts Person A posts Not ok. Person A posts Person A posts *24 hours of no posts* Person A posts This is ok.
Does that clear it up?

Very much so. Thank God because I didn't know of another way to explain how I see it in my mind. But if game threads count for post count, this rule will go into effect for all threads whether posts count or not. I'm not yet sure how I'll split up the sections yet if we go with this.

The only thread I’m really concerned about is the last person to post thread, I feel like that thread is a bit of a conversation thread and I would hate for it to become full of rules... as for the other game threads, I don’t really care, it would be nice for posts to count I guess but I’m too busy to be on here for it to matter for me personally, so whatever makes everyone else happy XD

You want it forgotten about so that you hold the lead the longest. You want that thread buried at the bottom. Double posting only hurts your odds of having a long lead.

There would be certain sections that fall outside that rule if it's a forum wide rule. Q&As and Journals would not have to follow that rule for starters. As well as pretty much everything in the Creation Corner section.

Honestly, if we're going to change the whole system, just to make me happy, we could keep it the way it is. I don't want to have to change everything just for a few gaming posts to count.

It's not going to be an immediate change, I'm going to wait for a few more opinions. If there's enough people that want it, we'll make the switch and see how it works.

I think I like this idea, hopefully people will post more in the gaming section!
