Yeah, TES, Allods, Mass Effect... I'm saying that our website has long ceased to be solely about Heroes. While we may not be as multi-themed as ag, the laws of this very multi-thematic approach apply to us to some extent. Fact: not all newcomers who visit our website come here because of Heroes. In my opinion, this is enough to not talk about our forum strictly as a Heroes resource.
----
By the way, if we summarize the newcomers who don't just come for a day, just to ask one question and then never log in again, the Mafia section easily outperforms many Heroes sections, and that's also an indicator.
In my opinion, the ideal solution would be to introduce a separate counter for each section (the section only displays its own counter), but that's complicated, so it's better to enable the counter everywhere. When a forum ceases to be narrowly focused, the counters no longer reflect the real authority of a forum member, but only reflect activity, and not very accurately (when moving from section to section).
Therefore, I see three solutions, which I would rank in order of priority according to my IMHO:
1) Separate counter everywhere (the section only displays its own counter);
2) General counter (enable everywhere);
3) And only then, disable the counter in the Mafia...
However, if there are ranks with names that correspond to the sections, then all of this is unnecessary

So, you remove the posts in the Mafia section, then what? The next post-padding section will be the Heroes VI section, where there are a lot of posts about how cute the units in the game are. Is it informative? No. Is it useful? No. How are the posts in the Mafia section worse? In no way. Oh yes, of course, it relates to the heroes. In my opinion, with a big stretch. You can also throw the Heroes VI section in the direction of, for example...Neverwinter.
All of this is just pointless arguing. It doesn't make things any better or worse. In every section, there are its own heroes, and sometimes there are anti-heroes. They are the ones who determine the atmosphere on the forum.

So, you'll remove the posts in the Mafia section, and then what? The next section to be filled with pointless posts will be the one about the 6th game, where there will be a ton of posts about how cute the units in the game are. Is it informative? No. Is it useful? No. Are the posts in the Mafia section any worse? No. Oh yes, of course, it also applies to the heroes. In my opinion, it's a stretch. You could just as easily apply this to, for example, Neverwinter.
All of this is just pointless arguing. It doesn't lead anywhere. In every section, there are always heroes, and sometimes anti-heroes. And it's them who determine the atmosphere on the forum.

Authority? Oh, nonsense. It depends very little on the counter. Unless it's for someone who has just joined the forum. And even then, moderators have much more authority, or at least they should. As an example of knowledge, reason, culture, etc.

So, you remove the posts in the Mafia section, then what? The next section to be filled with pointless posts will be the Heroes of Might and Magic VI section, where there will be a bunch of posts about how cute the units in the game are. Is it informative? No. Is it useful? No. How are the posts in the Mafia section worse? In no way. Oh yes, of course, this also applies to the heroes. In my opinion, with a big stretch.
There is a separate counter everywhere (only the native counter is displayed in the section)

No problem, I'll just cut it out :). If it doesn't turn into pure off-topic chatter, we can move it to a separate thread; there are plenty of threads about discussing the visual aspects in the "Heroes 5" section.

And how does it "display natively"?
For example:
Mafia: 455
Heroes 3: 566
Chatter: 999 ...
You can also add the total number of messages:
Mafia: 455/2020
Heroes 3: 566/2020
Chatter: 999/2020 ...
But that's complicated, and it's probably easier to just allow a simple counter everywhere...

It's possible to create separate counters. It might be a bit complicated, but it would be perfectly logical.

But grading purely by sections is nonsense.

All that's left to add to this "title" is your avatar.
Actually, before the introduction of ranks, dividing the counter would be great. And the ranks should correspond to the sections...
Turns out, it wasn't my fault (someone moved the discussion thread and left the first post under my name). So, I'm creating a poll.
