I'd rather be "legitimately" thanked, than thanked just for the sake of viewing the post, thus not an authentic response and leeching thereafter.

Increasing the number of chars (quantity) as opposed to the "quality" of the post, Is a big difference. I can post 5 paragraphs full of nonsense, and one paragraph that's on topic, of high standard with grammatical Integrity and beneficial to the context of the thread. The latter Is of less chars and HQ, which certainly (In this example) supersedes the quantity side of things.

I agree because it will also just increase peoples post count for no reason.

NOT ONLY ALL THE VALID POINTS RAISED HERE, BUT ALSO DO YOU WANT TO LOOK LIKE EVERY OTHER FORUM WITH POSTS BEING DUG UP FROM 3+ YEARS AGO JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE WANTS TO LOOK AT A METHOD THAT LIKELY DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE? AND DEAL WITH THIS EVERY SINGLE DAY?
DO YOU WANT THAT KIND OF CHAOS??

The Fappening comes to mind, when someone hosted links here and posted them to 4chan and other popular sites.
God, that was awful.

If you want more traffic, hide tags. All I have to say.

You're confusing traffic with spam.

Yes, well said.
I know of a forum that has the [hide] tags In place, and the quality of responses are extremely poor. It gives the forums as a whole a terrible appearance.

Well we got to think of a creative way to reduce leeching.

Yes, I certainly agree.
You said the keyword, being "reduce". Unfortunately, leeching cannot be eliminated In It's entirety. If the [hide] tags were to be Introduced, measures need to be formulated and Implemented In a way that It will not take away the liberty of the nature In how members post.
In other words, there can be a fine line between what Is/Is not considered as LQ posting, and the last thing this board needs, Is It's member's fearing In how they respond to threads.

You can not post in a thread using hide tags unless you have 25 posts. At that point they are already a member invested into the community and the quality of the community. And if someone is spamming 25 posts to get there it'll be easily detected.
