There’s no need to compare the reputation system and the message counter. They are both working well now, and there is no need to change anything. Besides, moderators can track down those who abuse the reputation system.
Okay, okay, at this point all my thoughts about the topic finally came together. I suggest disabling the message counter in the Forum Games section! Because due to the popularity of Mafia games, users who have nothing to do with the forum's theme have more messages on the thematic forum :D Or as an alternative – bring the Mafia games out of the “underground”, that is, create a link to the Mafia games somewhere on the main page. In general, add them to the forum's themes. It will be a forum about Heroes and Mafia!

Well, one person flooded my profile with a bunch of positive reputations in 5 minutes (at least 9 pluses, I couldn't see any further)! That's why I started expressing myself; usually, I don't pay attention to it, but then I went into the profile... But how can you see what people gave positive reputations for earlier? :(
Well, such spamming in the reputation system doesn’t happen every day, so usually you can easily keep track of who is increasing their reputation and for what. Although, indeed, it would be very useful to have the ability to see what people gave positive reputations for a long time ago.

Good lord, what difference does it make in which section messages are left? It's utter foolishness to consider some sections and ignore others. What's the point of the counter? It only displays the total number of messages written, nothing more, and whether a message is related to the game or not makes no difference. What do you need these numbers for?

On our forum, it's become a habit that some things are taken into account, while others aren't.

and whether the message is related to the game or not doesn't make any difference.
But in my opinion, it does :smile32:

I suggest we completely forget about the message counter and not even waste the administration's precious time on doing any work on it, but the database reader should be upgraded from ten to the maximum.

I am satisfied with the current database system. Perhaps it would be helpful to display the number of upvotes or downvotes for each post. Not only for clarity, but also for easier detection of potential vote manipulation, if any. Unfortunately, downvoting does occur on the forum: recently, there was a case where someone deliberately downvoted a person they disliked. If each post by a particular user has a negative score, moderators can easily identify that something is amiss.

If each message from a particular user has a negative rating, the moderators will easily understand that something is wrong here.
And what will happen? Giving someone a negative reputation point isn't a violation. If you don't like a post, you have every right to give it a negative rating. Besides, a negative overall reputation score doesn't lead to a ban or block the ability to publish posts; the only limitation is that you can't influence the reputation scores of other users with a negative reputation score.
I suggest we just ignore the message counter.
The message counter is linked to the reputation system.

But the way it is connected doesn't matter in this case. Because I was saying that the counter shouldn't be touched at all and should be left as is.

Your "ignore" can be understood in two ways.

Just remove the counter in Mafia, and everything will be fine. There is no need to bring it up to the level of a "site about Heroes and Mafia." The Hv-style Mafia within the Mafia community is already becoming notorious, like how not to play Mafia or the worst Mafia forum on the Russian internet. All that remains is to put it on the main page, huh. Disable the counter, equating it to spam (which is already thriving there), and that's it.

Just remove the counter in the Mafia section. There’s no need to elevate it to the level of a “website about Heroes and Mafia.” The Hv-style Mafia is already becoming a derogatory term within the Mafia community, like a cautionary tale of how not to play Mafia or the worst Mafia forum on the internet. All that’s left is to put it on the main page, right? Disable the counter, treating it as spam (which is already rampant there), and that’s it.
Mafia is generally a good thing, but the forum is really about Heroes. So yes, it would be nice if people visiting the forum could easily navigate it. Otherwise, they’ll see someone with 1,000 messages and think, “Wow, a Heroes expert!” But it turns out that all those messages are from the Mafia section.

They'll see 1k messages if they go to the general chat or the Mafia section, lol. Although, I don't think anyone actually looks at that. Usually, people write to the moderators directly.
But it's strange that adults are bringing up a topic for schoolchildren.

Be strong. Believe

Omega is absolutely right; after my thirty-second birthday, I started feeling this unpleasant sensation, and it still hasn't gone away, although there was a moment when it became a little easier, as if some weight had been lifted from my soul. But for some reason, it sometimes comes back.
