Yep, you can discuss the entire broad topic of changes to the OT here. When I ask for feedback, I allow it.

Now, as for the post count thing. We had a good discussion about that and worked out a compromise that ended up having rather wide repercussions. Posts in the OT will continue to apply to post count. Post count no longer is the only thing that determines your rank.

Rank is now something more than a title. As your rank goes up, your permissions go up. People with higher rank can see and do more than others. Rank is determined by a combination of post count, time as a forum member, and for the highest levels, reputation.

We hope this will curb the tendency of people to post spam as often as possible to become a "Lord".
