who here honestly does not care about their post count?

[speedballbanks]

i've noticed alot lately that it seem's like people are not editing, calling themselves postwhore's and such. i am here either to help out or critisize (constructive that is...well sometimes ). well anyway's i would just like to know who would like to see the post counter takne away from your avatar and put in your profile or all together taken away. i was just getting a little ancey watching people post about nothing to get there post up. i honeslty don't care if my post count said 3 or 2 hell even 0 i am just sick of seeing these so called "post whores". well if you feel my thought's please post here.

thanks

^ only time i ever put that just playing.

it would be nice to have like 2000.. but it doesnt matter, your still the same person wether or not u have 1110000 or not. i think i have like 65? lol not even

I'm just sick of seeing the same 5 or 6 people in every post. Most of the time they reiterate what has already been said or stick to one line answers with no back-up.
And I also like to see topics in the right forum. Hit the friendly forum with this stuff.

They should take it out to reduce dumb comments, but I have yet to see a dumb post or something that was obviously just to get another number higher in their avatar. So whatever, I dont really care.

[irbodden]

I do care, not to the point of being a post whore though. For online trades, often times guys from AO don't even bother asking for refrences, parts of the reason I assume is my post count..

It also looks shady when some guy joins AO, who has 5 some posts, trying to sell an Angel or other highend marker..

i dont care...

[bjjb99]

I have a post counter? Oh, there it is...

I never did understand why someone would care how many posts he or she has made. Heck, I could post a hundred times as much as I do, but 99 percent of it would then be noise instead of signal. As it is now, I post only when I feel I have something reasonably useful (IMHO) to contribute.

I agree with irbodden re: low post count trying to sell stuff on AO. It's just like Ebay in that regards; someone with near-zero reputation trying to sell high value items is someone to approach with a modicum of caution.

Maybe we need a means of rating peoples' posts as "signal" or "noise". Then instead of a post count, each person would have a S/N score.

BJJB, complicating things again.

[irbodden]

Jonno, RIGHT. How many posts do you make a day, 15?

I have trouble NOT being annoyed by people who make more than 10 posts a day and reply to threads with less than a sentance. And to top it off, these are the same people who have giant signatures..

i think it is in a good forum, because this is for the good of the whole forum, and if you have noticed the amount of posts/thread's in this forum you will understand where i am coming from.

i can't agree with you more or they just come here because they heard stuff sell's good and sell their stuff and hit the road

yeah, right....lol


and another thing i don't like is when one particular person keep's haveing repetitive post's about the same gun over and over when they could do a search and find out what color they come in and when they will be released.

[Jonno06]

i would post 15times a day weither or not it counted as a "post count"....

i could post alot more,but i only post in the threads where i have something to say....the forum is here for us to post,not just sit here doing nothing...

[kosmo]

I for one could care less about my post count. I spend most of my time reading posts because it is rare to have a question that hasn't already been answered by the other hundreds of people on the forum. Hence my post count of around 60 and yet I've been here since before AGD bought AO. SHartley is right about people needing to realize that the forum is more of a library and the chat room is for chatting. The forum is nice though sometimes to be able to discuss something when you dont have time for a chatroom, and a little bit of OT posts do add to the sense of community, but too much is just annoying and a waste.

i have to agree about the member's being here a long time i myself have been here when it was automags.combut my name got deleted on the switch and i wasn't aloud to play paintball. now shartley you have only been here ince april i think you need to tone it down a tad . but the topic on searching and such i think the search button should be bigger lol. this morning for instance i could have been lazy and posted sponsorship from agd, but instead of that i did a simple taskless search. i think aoer's need to post more from their brain and not from their rear.

by the way shartley, have yuo noticed my grammar has improved.

i can't agree more how it get's with the off topic in a thread when someone asks a question and it turn's into either a flame battle or when someone greet's another ao'er or ask's them what is going on. althuogh some off topic thread's are fun to read and not a bad idea sometimes. sometimes.

i could care less what my post count is. theres no point really in it. all its really showing is how much time you spend on a computer.

i hate to hear that because that is deffinitely not true. yes a person may be on a computer a long time but spreading knowledge.

i know you might not be directing it to that topic but that is how i took it.
