Plain and simple this is why I rarely even read FFA anymore. These ideas are good Dan but they've been discussed in the Admin forum for longer than I can remember now to no avail.
There are pros and cons to everything. Removing post counts would make a lot of us happy including myself, but it would probably generate more moaning and belly aching from the majority of the TR userbase who just happen to be postwhore teenagers who suck at racing and post in FFA and nowhere else.
Bottom line is we have to keep the majority of users happy and that unfortunately means that if this site turns into Tampa FFA then so be it.
