may we take a moment of silence for those who has fallen in the attacks of September 11th, 2001

so ive been working on a Smash Bros fangame on scratch since April 17 named Scratch Smash Bros. (click image to play)

i've been posting some updates about this project on youtube
the project became from this:

to this:

the project currently has 16 characters, 15 maps, and 3 modes.
there will be an update every 15 days.

The reason why the message counter should objectively be deleted is because it presents having as many messages as possible as an achievement, but according to that metric alone spamming is something to be proud of when it's obviously not the case.

The younger immature userbase of the forum is made of young kids that take the suggestion behind the message counter too literally and fail to realize that quality is far more important than quantity in this context, since extreme quantity combined with 0 quality is just spam and that's against the rules.

Yes, the message counter indeed gives the message that having sent a lot of messages is an achievement, but that's the case ONLY because it ASSUMES all of these messages are meaningful and high-quality enough to deserve to exist and not count as spam!

Wargor's mistake is that he didn't foresee immature forum users misunderstanding the intent behind the message counter, since it seemed common sense enough to him that it's supposed to make you proud of having sent a lot of messages on the forum that aren't just any kind of message... But sadly there are far too many immature forum kids who miss the point and believe they're justified in spamming and posting low-quality slop on the forum so the message counter needs to go away (at least the leaderboard & ranks).

Oh, and why do we have forum ranks but no challenge points ranks? When the site is supposed to be more about the game than the forum? And when it would be far more harmless and logical that way?

I suggest reusing the forum ranks as challenge points ranks, since that would actually encourage playing the game more often rather than spam on the forum.
