thepixiesrock Posted October 16, 2005 Share 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.

Draken Posted October 16, 2005 Share 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.

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.

Musopticon? Posted November 4, 2005 Share 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.

Walsingham Posted November 4, 2005 Share 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.

Diamond Posted November 4, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted November 4, 2005 Share 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.

Petay Posted November 4, 2005 Share 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 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I would have over 2000 if it included WoT. I worked hard to egt my count up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metadigital Posted November 5, 2005 Share 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.

metadigital Posted November 5, 2005 Share 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.
