All group recruitment is applying for groups and that is reason enough to post. No discussion is going on in group recruitment and the op accepts and denies multiple people i just dont see why that should increase ones post count. Also having posts count in there encourages people that dont care about the group to spam out a bad application just to increase their post count. So an easy solution is to have it like random where no posts count.
EDIT: some people have a hard time understanding this so im going to lay it out in numbered points.
1.the goal IS NOT to stop people from posting LQ threads the goal is to make it so posts will not count and staff dont have to worrying about people uping their postcount and credit count by spamming lower quality applications.
2.What this entails? Staff will no longer have to worry about the group recruitment thread and it will decrease the amount of work they will need to do.
Summary: By making it so staff wont have to monitor the group recruitment as much we provide them with more time to focus on the rest of the site.
I SAY ONE LAST TIME MY GOAL IS NOT TO PREVENT LOW QUALITY APPLICATIONS OR TROLL APPLICATIONS I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT SO PEOPLES POST COUNT AND CREDITS WILL NOT INCREASE IN WHEN PEOPLE POST IN THE GIVEAWAY RECRUITMENT SECTION.
