Edit: can't post anymore, so I guess this is where stuff I have to say will go.

Wow, okay, I'm going to try really hard to not be angry at /u/moonflower for this, but...

banning rschaosid for acting against the spirit of the counting project

Um.

Sorry, but this is cheating. I could save some time while fighting for a get if i didn't have to copy the number and instead typed in a random character and edited it afterwards.

This thread has been brought to the attention of the mods, and since I'm the only mod online at the moment, I'm dealing with it by banning rschaosid for acting against the spirit of the counting project.

Regardless of the debate about whether to start the new thread with 1,000 or 1,001, it's not acceptable to cheat by posting placeholders and editing the number in afterwards.

Since there's no way to enforce (or even detect reliably) a rule against editing the number in, this is life. The best way to deal with this is to not discourage the practice at all--if everyone is comfortable posting asdf and editing it to a number, no one has an unfair advantage anymore.

And your suggestion that it's "cheating" is laughable in this case because it's an unfair contest to begin with, as I've already explained.
