Serious vouch from me.
This has been a plague since 2009.
The entire section really is just a huge loophole for shit posting and I feel like we have a chance at a really nice art community here.

I think a good solution would be to not allow the post(s) to count and accumulate on your profile. So if members do post nonsense just to increase their count, it will no longer work.

that is a bandaid fix, if you do that then even the people serious about art will not want to post threads or comments on anyone's work.

Your registration date reads 2014? How would you know what the section was like in '09?

On-topic: I'm for this change as the subforum is host to numerous low quality posts. The name of the subforum basically encourages weak replies that usually consist of "nice work 8/10".

Why?
If you're serious about art, it should not matter wether posting will give a +1 to your count.
I mean if you're really serious about art why should you care for such a feature and not just enjoy peoples art and help them improve it?

Seems like a good fix to me.

A +1 for each post would be nice too.

So you're bitching about people using it for post count but you are doing it yourself as well? Correct me if I'm wrong your post made zero sense.

I joined HF in 09 my account was stolen and closed and omni let me come back just recently.

Well I can tell you're a multi-accounter (trust scan too, lol fred?).
I'm saying that yes, you should post there if you care about art. People who post there for solely post count purposes are those who need to be punished. For the people who do post there and are serious about art, post count is a nice addition.

I agree, but there is no way you're going to stop them unless you take away what they're doing it for.

even though it hasn't been long, I have seen the state of that section every time I come on, quite lame really.

[Clapton]

I don't even know whats going on or what this thread is about because I didn't read it. But I like your gfx, 8.6/10

Here is the perfect example.

Here is a member who non stop shit posted the other day.
Just endless LQP


And just look how great his posts are.


And to top that off I reported over 50 posts in RMG the other day, at least 10 of which were PSITICO's posts.
Notice that warning level.


Proof i reported his post.


So why hasn't he been warned for spamming and low quality posting?
Is RMG just totally ignored?

I'm sure staff have seen this by now.

I've messaged two members of staff so far and have not received any confirmation that the problem is being dealt with in any way.

[* Σα]

Don't PM staff about suggestions. In due time they will view this thread and make a decision.

Taking care of reported post isn't a suggestion.
It's what they are supposed to do and are not doing.

I'm confused why the fuck ya'll are crying over a small part of HF?

[Zezka]

I agree. I've just browsed that section and found countless examples.
