I feel like I should stand up for my fellow mods here. We don't care about your post count, what we care about is that your posts have pertinent content and aren't empty spam. The reason we remove the hype/train/page count/off-topic/empty posts in general is that they clutter up the thread for no reason, create false positives in forum searches (and leave people with pages and pages of keyword hits with absolutely no useful information); they make moderation impossible, make it difficult to distinguish informative posts from inane chatter, and when we are called to respond to a report we have to sift through pages and pages of absolutely nothing. Ain't nobody got time for that, staff members are volunteers here, we work in our own free time, and we can't spend the whole day poring over one thread. That's why we urge you to please stay on topic, and not fill the thread with pages and pages of zero content replies, and keep the hype to the IRC hype train channel, or the hype thread here.
Thank you.
