But don't post meaningless replies just to bump your post count or you might end up banned before you get to the shoutbox.

Lots of the stuff people shout in the shoutbox would be better in the forums anyway.

...although the opposite is also true.

Lots of the stuff people shout in the shoutbox would be better in the dustbin. Many of my shouts included.

I guess a good loophole around that rule would be to make a post and then delete it afterward. The deleted post still counts towards your overall "score" so technically you could make a bunch of meaningless posts, delete them all and it would be a win win situation. You get the number you need and the administrators are happy...I think anyway.

Btw, random question, but how did you guys become administrators on the site anyway? Do you know Clay or do you have to have a certain level of Japanese proficiency? I'm just curious, I don't really wanna become one anyway...at least not now

Hm, I *think* that "strategy" wouldn't work. I think that when you delete a post of yours, your post count goes down.

EDIT: Actually, I think I misunderstood what you meant. I think what you said *would* work but it would be called "spamming". Spamming, then deleting, but still spamming.
