Should we ask Avery to exclude the posts in the "Other" section from the post count ?
PLEASE READ BEFORE SHOOT
Basically, i've seen different reactions about the fact that also the posts in the "other" section increase the post counters of the users, especially about the "fun / jokes" threads ..... Someone approves, someone don't care , and someone complain that, using these posts, newbies and low-post users artificiously increase their posts and rep power, without help the forum or the other users.
I'm not saying that this is true or not, cause, usually, i care much more about users acts, than about users post counters, but i understand that other peoples have different evaluation systems than mine (hey, it's just normal, this ..... after all, we're all humans, more or less 
)
OK, the "problem" (if the majority judge this a problem), can be easily solved excluding the whole "Other" section from the post count function, so any post made there, don't increase the counters ..... but cause this need to be done from Avery, modifying the option in the VBulletin script, i think that we need a poll for know what the majority of the users think, about this, so also Avery can have an idea and decide what he prefer (always, if the operation don't cause problems to Avery in the management of the forum script, ofcourse).
Now, the question of the poll is:
Should we ask Avery to exclude the posts in the "Other" section from the post count ?
BTW: Before vote, think about a thing, for not have to complain after (cause, remember, once you've voted, you cannot retreat your vote, at least as far as i know).
If Avery implement this function, the more probable effect is that all the users that have posted in the "Other" section, lost the posts that they have made there from their counters, same as when, usually, you delete a thread (i'm not 100% sure about this, but in some versions of VBulletin, excluding a section from the post count, delete also the posts of the users that have posted there ..... ask Avery for be sure, if you're preoccupied for this)
Also, please don't turn this poll in a flamewar, ok ? ..... there's no reason for this ..... discuss freely, post your impressions and ideas about the subject of the poll, explain why yes or not, but NO FLAMES, please (otherwise, i come there and bite your ..... er ..... ahem, nevermind )
Ok, being the first one that throwed the stone, i suppose i have to vote first ..... i vote yes, cause, as i've already said, in this way, none have to complain for excessive "fun types" posts in "Other" section, and cause, basically, also if i lost my post counts from that section, this is not a problem, for me.
EDIT: forgot to say, i've set 30 days as deadline for this poll.
