I voted yes, but shouldn't there also be a poll "Is Wally doing an amazingly good job as mod"?
Prime Ministers have been removed (5 PMs in 5 years) from Australian Parliament quite easily enough, so mod removal shouldn't be too hard. Am I right, Wally?
Since, I live close to you in Melbourne...maybe you should have a real life meeting with me to discuss our differences?
Nah, what am I thinking...you're only good behind your computer.
EDIT: I also pm'd you.
Realistically I could file a police report for this post as it's quite threatening. I am a nice guy and I wouldn't do that and sadly wont' be meeting you IRL for these circumstances. Probably have brushed past you a lot in the CBD though
Anyway I am not targeting anyone here and it's just to try and promote more discussion around the Pyra and Pandora and NOT to curb the social aspect of this forum.

I think that to be perfectly honest such a poll would be overwhelmingly in favour of Wally as the mod who does his job best. He's friendly, he considers what he's doing and then by golly he goes ahead and gets it done. He's always been fair, he never once took offence when I told him to eff off when he warned me about trolling and he's just an all-round good egg.
If there are people on the forum that don't see him that way then I suspect the problem is theirs rather than his.
Thank you for these words. It was heart warming to see some one that cares! It helped me get through the day that's for sure!
Id venture a guess that it was you that removed said thread, wally? Which proves, along with a number of other locking, removing and autosaging efforts, nothing. At least insofar as your point goes. Or what point you are trying to make of it.
Yeah I removed it. It's mostly because I wanted to experiment to see if some people would complain about it and their lack of post count and is the primary reason I created this thread. From time to time, threads need to be deleted and made non existent as there's new things that could be created and are seen as counter-productive, especially now that in the previous example:
a ) YouTube links may have been removed over time due to copyright protests by the artists as some people aren't getting royalties for said music if the music is published by an unauthorized person.
b ) There's no evidence that anyone is viewing the content thus being a distraction for others.
c ) There was significant posting from some individuals in a small period of a day or so which caused the thread to pop on-top of more important threads.
What does the op mean by 'disable' with reference to posts in off-topic? Does he mean to hide them there, so they're not shown, or does he mean that posts there shouldn't count towards your overall post count?
If the former, I vote for hiding the post count in all contexts. However, if it's possble to not count off-topic posts towards the post count number, it may still have some value. We still need a way to encourage people to post useful comments in useful threads, and if that's it then it can stay.
I mostly was gauging Off-Topic content as it doesn't contribute in anyway to the on-topic stuff but defeating the post count all together is an even better idea
