I rather liked the Word Cuont tool on TB. Can we have one here too? Can we? Can we?

Actually, word counts discourage spam. It takes quite the artiste to create spam longer than 15 words. Teh ability to extend a subject and draw your audience along with you on the path to ridiculousness for a full paragraph is something to be celebrated.Immigrant wrote:agreed. only encourages long-winded posts - the old 'mine is bigger' bit

It's part of the old quality vs quantity. Then again, we've seen spam drawn out in that fine illistration of Gerien's. Of course, those are far and few between.

I liked the word count it let you know who the good spammers and eloquent speakers were.
It kinda discouraged single one word spams and posts that really just clog threads.

Well, that, or it inspired one to compensate the compact spammings with more eloquent posts and get a decent average anyways.

Both are true, and a reason I would like to officially request that the feature be added here if possible.Well, that, or it inspired one to compensate the compact spammings with more eloquent posts and get a decent average anyways.

You should've had a picture of your kid with a sad-face Nag...
Democracy? MoP, this is Europe! (I think I'm under the impression that your land has one of the better forms of that in this land; I don't remember b/c we're talking more about the EU as a whole instead of each country...)
