I'm not sure why it matters one way or another....

[fcpchop]

are we on this subject again? Didn't we go through this already? I beleive we already had a poll to see what the users thought about the post count. And just like the previous poll its in favor of having it. Simple fact is it helps some people when looking to see who is around alot and whos a deticated user. Although having a high post count doesn't mean anything for sure, its a good way to tell. And if you feel that its not then simply dont use it as a way to determine if people are on the site alot.

i always use post count when im trading along with feedback

[MicroMiniMe]

Just because someone has a low post count, doesn't really mean that a person with a high post count is any Better. I see many members that have been here for years and they have low post counts. If you check to see the posts they did leave, lots of them were in depth, long posts that had meaning.

I'm more impressed with the 02' and earlier joiners still here than any post count. Though by my logic that makes Cphill a deity.

Oh wait...

[WARPED1]

The post count is important because it helps judge a persons honesty in trading. If two guys wanted to trade with me, and the first guy has 1 post and the other has 3000 or so, I'd be more trusting of the 3k poster, because the guy with one post is probably, just posting to rip off someone(not always the case, but alot).

I think it should just be visable in the users profile.

I know what you mean, I'm the same way regarding posters of 00', and 01.

Makes me feel stupid for lurking so long, instead of signing up

I also lurked for a long time and even now I don't post uberfrequently. There are members who have been here for less than six months that have four times as many posts as I do. I agree with the idea of keeping post count in the user profile. Honestly I take join date as a better judge of character than post count. That's not to say newer members know less or are not as trustworthy as older members but if I'm gonna trade and it comes down to someone who joined in 01/02 and has 200 psots and someone who joined in 04 and has 2000 I'm going with the old skool hands down. I think I've rambled enough but that's my nickle.

Yeah, Concured.
While all of my psots aren't ALWAYS informative, I admit to that, I can post Stupid Crap at times.
Then again, I look at someone who say, Joined in August 04, and has roughly 3000 posts, I get annoyed.

Yeah.

[TheTramp]

I agree with those who mentioned the post count helping in trades.

I use post count along with join date and feed back to help with trade decisions.

I also use them when reading posts.

If I see an asinine post from somebody with a low post count and new join date I will cut them more slack for being new.

High post count and new join date makes their asinine post obviously just another post from a post whore I don't need to pay attention to.


P.S. this is more than 30 words but I would have posted anyway.

I agree. I do get annoyed in the Tippmann forum when I see people who have 4000 posts acting like know-it-alls when 3995 of those posts are spam. Then you've got me, a platinum member with just under 3000 posts. Hey, maby we should do that. Have a rank system like on the tippy forum. Over there we've got:

Guest (0 stars)
Member (1 star)
Gold (2 stars)
Platinum (3 stars) <-- me!
Moderator (4 stars)
Admin (5 stars)

I've always liked that system.

[Eric Cartman]

I'm ambivalent. A person can have a high post count, but very few of those posts have any substance. At the same time, even a post whore with a ludicrous amount of nonsense posts can post something worthwhile here and there.

Keep 'em or lose 'em. Doesn't matter to me.
