Forum "like" farming~

There are some members of this forum who are very proud of the amount of posts and/or the amount of likes they have. And some of these members have been members for many years now. For that to be undermined by a simple thread farming for likes is not really something that can be viewed as acceptable. You should earn your post and like counts legitimately by being a functioning member of the community by helping other players, writing guides, and engaging in other forms of conversation. That way you will also have a proper feeling of accomplishment if you want to compare your posts and likes to others, rather than gaining them by farming or spamming.

Since this is the spam/test section of the forum it should not really be surprising that posts made in this section of the forum do not count towards a user's total messages count. If there was an option like this for likes then we would also have it not count those too - as such I've now made the suggestion to Xenforo to implement this into their software.
