thepixiesrock Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 I don't care about post counts. If I want to judge someone, I do it the fair way. I'll look up when they joined and compare it to when I joined. Lou Gutman, P.I.- It's like I'm not even trying anymore!http://theatomicdanger.iforumer.com/index....theatomicdangerOne billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.
Draken Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 I don't care enough about a number next to my name to vote "yes". It's all about quality, not quantity. 100 meaningful posts will get you more respect then 1000 pointless ones. Unless your name is Baley. Seriously, only like, three people can touch my body
Calax Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 I wish I had deadpools "well if it isn't Natan Dayspring-son-of-somthing-somthing-somthing summers" picture. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

Why shouldn't they? you can make your opinion the next time you read a post or two of that person. if they wrote something that was stupid and they have 1,000 posts, then you can probably assume that most of those posts are stupid spam. if they have 50 posts and you read a couple and they look pretty detailed and on-topic or whatever, then you can guess what most of their previous posts were like. Unless you are DL and you want the count to stay at 999, then i think it would make it more fun. this is a fairly old topic, but i remembered i didn't vote in it just now and thought i should revive it.

alanschu Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 I notice he's been "unregistered." Whatever THAT means. I pray he turns up alive and well
Musopticon? Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 He's the 'The Chew' nowadays. I think he asked to be unregistered and then made a new account. Pity, I liked Lawman more. All the speculation about him being Avin's alt etc. :D kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds

Walsingham Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 I don't run by postcounts. If I want to judge someone I shall do it the fair way. By sneaking up behind them in the parking garage, chloroforming them, spiriting them away to my island home, releasing them into a dungeon filled with monsters and puzzles, then bringing them before me and my chainmail clad female leader of the guards, seeing them fall in lust, then possibly escape from the island on the back of a cybernetic dragon. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

I think a post is still a post and should count in all the sections of the forum. Hope that makes sense to other people reading it.
Diamond Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 It is done to drive away people, who post for the sake of posting. We'd have twice as much of spammers here if WoT posts counted.
Volourn Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Post counts fanboyism is for even bigger losers than me. And, that's saying a lot. Number of posts mean nothing. Nothing. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Petay Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 I don't know. I kind of disagree with Volourn. They do mean a little to me, but thats only really how long someone has been here, until you get to know them better, although i do agree that it is better to judge someone by the quality of their posts than how many they actually have, to know what they are actually like.
Gabrielle Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 I would have over 2000 if it included WoT. I worked hard to egt my count up.
metadigital Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 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. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Sarjahurmaaja. Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 Or, you know, you people should just form your own opinions of people instead of expecting the forums to tell you what to think. 9/30 -- NEVER FORGET!
metadigital Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 Or, you know, you people should just form your own opinions of people instead of expecting the forums to tell you what to think. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, the slashdot system is more an aide-m OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Krookie Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 Every two posts in the WoT section should count as one towards your count.
metadigital Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 Every time a mod has to discipline a poster for spamming (i.e. when it is annoying and deleterious to the thread and not informative and a fun tangent) then ten should be taken from the total. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Diamond Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 Enforcing logarithmic growth for post count will be even better
metadigital Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 Um, it is logarithmic. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
