Your View On A Thread Should Count Only Once

I noticed that if you view a particular thread more than once, it gains more views. Meaning, I could keep coming back to my thread over and over, and it'll gain views although it's just me and not someone new (try it on a dead thread). I don't think that's how it should work. YouTube does not work like that. I think this current method of these boards allows for a misleading view count. And remember, some could abuse this.
