Scratch

You guys realize that this still exists, right?

Yes.

So basically the whole ">1000" thing is useless.

No, because you can't see others'

You can only see your own posts with that.

I think they should add another tier, >2000, and then increment upwards by thousands.  (>3000, >4000, >5000, and so on)

That's a cool idea!
I think it would clash / stand out a bit too much in the current forum design, which, unfortunately, has never been very Scratchy. (It's more or less plain old FluxBB with a few features hacked onto it).  However, we're going to be doing more design work on the Scratch 2.0 forums to make them match the rest of the site. So I think this could be a really nice way of doing it in the 2.0 forums.

Speaking of that... I was going to make a userscript to change the style of the forums to be more Scratchy. 

That'd be awesome! Experimentation like that can help a lot while we're thinking of the next design.

Keep the 2.0 design look and feel that's shown in the recent blog post in mind when you're tweaking.

Thank you for the support! IKR, it will be kept updated to the (monthly?) 2.0 updates.

What would you program in?

JavaScript. That's what userscripts are made in.    It would inject a CSS file, and also do some more editing.

And I agree with 5(,)000+. Hmm, perhaps a display option for whether it's plain, with a comma, period, or space?

I agree that it should be more accurate, but maybe not by that much. Maybe:
>100
>250
>500
>1000
>2500
>5000
>7500
>10000.

This could just cause more spam! New Scratchers would spam up the "questions about Scratch" forums with "How do I get the > in my post count?" and people will put things like "aweiejhgutop" and "spammy Spam SPAM!!" and "cool idea bro" and ";alkhj" and " " and more just to get the >1000. Besides, couldn't you just post your post count everywhere? Besides, this isn't really distinguishing someone who just puts things like "alkulk" all the time and they have 1001 posts that are all spam against someone who had like 68 posts, but were very helpful and constructive in there posts? First you disable [IMG] tags. Next you archive Misc. and replace it with forums that get spammed even worse. And now, you make the post counts to >100, >500, and >1000. I don't mind [IMG] tags being off, but I still start to get    when I scroll down past where Misc. used to be and see the other forums. And now, I get really annoyed when trying to see my exact post number and see just a >500 thing! I admit, that I did spam a bit when trying to get the >500 rank *blush*. But some people actually worked to get their 10,000 posts, and now they aren't any differently distinguished than someone who just typed smilies and things like "wauirytpu9a" to get their post count to 10,000! If you made 100 spammy posts a day, you'd already get to >1000 in 10 days!
Your Weekly Post forecast:
Forums looking extra spammy! Watch out for posts containing, but not limited to, "alkdfgao", " ", "qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm", "akfj;l", "spammy", "hai i am spamming", and "                   ".
None of these things helped, because everyone was and still will be affected by some [naughty word] spammers!   
I at least think that we should show the exact amount once you pass the 10000 mark. People who work for years to get past 10000 should at least have people see their achievements!

Whoa, long post. 

Funny thing is I've never once in my years on the forums seen anyone type random stuff like that with no meaning.

i think that if your post count reaches 1000 and your are a good scratcher then a mod will remove the post count and put Experienced, helpful e.t.c

That would ruin the point, it would constantly give people something to aim for, thus causing spam. With the current ones it does do that but the advantage of determining the experience of a scratcher outweighs that.

Let's just remove post count entirely, then.

Good idea. And replace it with a 3rd rank after Scratcher, "Experienced Scratcher".

No, people would spam to get that, too.

The optimal solution is obviously to remove the forums entirely.

^ This.

This is starting to go over the top.  Lumping everyone who gets more than 1000 posts into one group is outrageous.  I just passed the 1000 mark today, but to a new forum user, I look the same as someone who has been exponentially more active.

It does seem a bit silly that my 13000+ posts are equivalent to your 1000+, but hey, what can you do?

Suggest a different way to have it done.
