post counts...


Recommended Posts

i know this might sound funny

why not just remove it honestly

theres prejudice, spamming

people having one post and people judeg them as a newbie and believe they are totally illiterate i believe thats just insane honestly...

and weinkers openning threads just to spam and make their post counts higher i mean if your a bit more mature who caes its only how much u posted boo hoo... i got a few digits under my name so bloody what does that mean your the best?

dont think so ...

oh well its just a suggestion

and if anyone replies flamming it shows that sense of puerile in yourself

if mods disagree with me then you guys must love wasting your time del threads and warning people of spamming

This has been brought up so many times its really quite rediculous. if anyone is seriously bothered by the post count than crying out loud, i'd be looking into some other issues in your life right about now. It is not a measure of one's IQ, it is not reflective on the size of ones "manhood":right: nor does it represent how darn l337 you are.

To me, it simply shows how much one has contributed to the board. I dont think either me or you have the right to accuse anyone of spam, just because they have a high post count. It also, to some extent, shows how dedicated they are to neowin. Anyone with a high post count clearly enjoys participating and this i like to see. I agree that people should not judge others based on a number. We have people with extremely low post counts, yet have been visiting for a long time. It does not mean they are a n00b.

Just ignore it if post counts bother you so much. You know where you stand on the matter, so why care what anyone else thinks about it?

We are cracking down on useless posts/threads anyhow so we are aware of the problem. SImply put, alot of people enjoy having it. You cannot criticise them for this. Its their opinion and they are entitled to it. It would not be fair to remove it for a minority.

Thanks

I do think post count matters. Not much, but to some extent it does. Take this for an example:

1) Someone with 1 post count posts a webpage about a security flaw

2) Somewith with 2000+ post count posts a webpage about a security flaw

There's more of a chance that the person with 1 post count is posting a website that logs you off without warning. There's less of a chance of someone who has posted alot and very involved with Neowin would post such a thing.

Get what I'm trying to say? I (usually) have more trust for someone who's involved in Neowin than someone that this is their first post.

(I know, this isn't always the case...)

I agree 100% hurting. Someone with 2000+ posts should by then know the rules. He or she would be very well known by the community and would be trusted that they would not post something that violates community rules. Trust is a key factor here. I would much rather trust the person with 2000 posts, than someone with 1.

That is not to say the person with 1 post is a n00b of course. It should never be used as a means to determine ones knowledge level.;)

i agree with you guys but what i always thought of was a star rating

like the post counts would bevisible by the admin and mods

but we members cannot

and stars can be the one to determine whos been on the board long enough

but oh well just a thought
