Umm.....don't you think this is a bit harsh?...it seems more people here are more concerned with thread jacking rather than actual thread post counts.
If you get rid of the thread post counter we don't have a problem as people won't make multiple thread posts anymore becuase there is nothing to prove???
The main problem has seemed to THREAD JACK this very thread and it's thread jackingoff-topic drivel if not for tech posts it's for the off-topic section and people just need to remember that, sure every once and awhile people will thread jack by accident but that happens and we just need to get over it.
Here is a perfect example, my suzuki build up:

That was a purely tech thread and a good one for new vitara owners to look at to modd cheaply there vitara, it was ruined by drivel. Maybe mike can you make my LR modding thread an off-topic thread??? I fear the same is happening to that one tocould you also go through it and delete any bull shit posts??? like ones talking about insurance etc

If people continously thread jack thread they need to have a PM sent to them by Mike warning them and the next time they will have there membership suspended for a period of time??? maybe a week??
my 0.00002 cents
Going through every post deleting stuff is alot of work. Its also open to interpretation as to what is actually off topic. It would be simpler if people exercised a little common sense and refrained from doing it.
You LR thread for example, the insurence stuff is ok in my opinion. But if somone jumped in on the thread and was asking you where good places to go 4wheeling in Welly are and started organising a trip, that would be thread jacking.
Post whoring is exactly the example Hiriklux posted up for us. That just plain pisses everyone off and makes you look like a twat
