Post Counts

[Diamond]

Um, it is logarithmic.

 

By which you mean the more you post the more you are moving to WoT?

[Rosbjerg]

I would have over 2000 if it included WoT. I worked hard to egt my count up. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

haha yeah I think mine would reach 3000 WoT counted.. which, in a strange way, makes me happy it doesn't! ^_^

[Darque]

Post counts are overrated

 

It's about the quality of your posts, not the quantity.

 

Or in my case... how many smilies you use (w00t) (w00t) :D :ph34r:

Those smileys seem very unhappy

[Gromnir]

What is needed is a system (like slashdot has, but probably not so complex) whereby posts (and therefore posters) are rated by the forumite peers.

peers? we got peers?

 

as for the rest of you... we would have laughed this thread away as typical of the kinda recent stoopidity that has become commonplace 'round here if not for the following:

honestly, we were more than a little disappointed in some of you folks, and when one considers our general low opinion of you peoples to begin with, that is saying something.

 

some of you clowns gots it backwards. treat n00bs like crap simply 'cause they is n00bs? bah. n00bs should be treated better and not worse. if you has been 'round for a while then you got no excuse for making fools of yourselves. n00bs got an excuse that the regular posters do not: they is new. n00bs is the only folks that get Gromnir patience and they always get at least one free shot at us w/o reprisals. we got more concern for n00bs, not less, 'cause the quickest and bestest way for these boards to improve is for them to be getting new ideas and perspectives, and the best way for that to happen is for new people to wanna stick 'round and contribute.

 

if it were up to Gromnir, there would be no visible post counts, but unfortunately, that would not stop some o' you peoples from treating new folks poorly.

 

shame.

I think it was more about his use of [] that irked so many. People who write their posts unconventional way always brings somebody to complain about it.

It's annoying. IT'S LIKE USING ALL CAPS or using l33t $p33K. Just type bloody normal.

[Walsingham]

I think it depends on the n00b. Some take best to a bit of a hostile reception for they think "Ah, this is an exclusive club which I will enjoy once I break in". Some need kid glove treatment. And some come in with a mean attitude and need immediate lightsaber duelling followed by defenestration.

we call bs. reread the thread we linked. how many pages? were not simply 'bout style of posting. ain't gonna buy the revisionist history. is bs.

"It's annoying. IT'S LIKE USING ALL CAPS or using l33t $p33K. Just type bloody normal."

 

I suppose just telling them to stop that is somehow out of the question? You know, instead of flaming and spamming the thread to hell?

 

Curiously, though, the guy had two perfectly normal posts prior to that one.

His posting style was what started it all after that things just got out of hands.

You shame those amoungst us who, in their exuberance to prove themselves in verbal combat with each other, have slaughtered an innocent.

 

I take your point about peers; let's just say it was meant in the broadest possible definition ...

[Darque]

I think gromnir makes a good point.... not that he cares about my opinion, but what the hey

[Gabrielle]

Good fun.

[Darque]

You forgot to "HA!"

[Gabrielle]

HA! Good Fun!

[Darque]

:D

[Hildegard]

What's the point for WoT posts count, although I would like that, when you can gain post counts without actually 'posting anything', but that trick is rather slow and irritating

[Darth Drabek]

I don't think they should count. Why should spammers get a false sense of authority (apologies to our fine moderator) because of a high post count when they haven't contributed anything worthwhile to any threads?

 

Of course the reverse of that is that thoughtful members who make all their insightful contributions in WoT "look like noobs," but anyone who has followed the fora for a while will give respect to those who deserve it.

 

 

"fora for a" oh man, sometimes I crack myself up.
