Is it possible to have Negative Posts?

08-19-2003, 12:44 PM

Seriously. Say if a person just joined IW, and spammed for posts so he could get better ranks. In the Rules&Regulations, you'll have posts taken away, so what happens if you go beyond zero? Will you have -4 and be considered a New Member, or will the counter go to the highest number of posts such as 10000000 and you'll have the highest rank? Or is does it simply go to however the webmaster programmed it?

Got some evil plans ?

Nah, just bored with life

There's no point in spamming to get better ranks as the ranks are in no particular order. I mean you get things like Knight of the Rose much later than you get Gold Dragon - just one example.

Yeah, i mean look at you... you're an Egyptian chick with a big lump of cheese on your head.

Hey, it was the only hypothetical situation that would allow someone to get negative ranks. And sadly enough, ppl on other forums do try spamming for ranks... Sheesh. But seriously, what would happen?

I believe that when you get into negative post land, Choc stalks over, eats your mouse, and bans you from IW. For life, unless you want to be a cat's plaything. And if you're the plaything, you can't come out in public anyway [img]smile.gif[/img]

Lol, I'll agree with bungleau on that one. But that means Choc is cyber cat, he can go through the internet and appear out of computer monitors hooked up, scary...

I don't think my dog would appreciate that.

Many dogs won't appreciate it, and soon enough the dogs will be holding a 2 by 4, just waiting for Choc's head to appear... And so, the Dog&Cat War will start once again, and only a certain Irish Setter will have the power to end it.
