Does post count matter

[YBG]

I think Neowin without postcounts would get rid of the spammers, e-penis post count people, etc etc.

It is nice to hit a x000 count every once in a while, but I could live without it.

I just hate that people are like "well that guy has the higher post count, so he must know what he's talking about about. Your postcount is only 300, so you obviously know nothing". And yes, I've actually read something to that effect in the past week.

That's why you always have a lot of stars, like I do. Granted they aren't under my avatar by what the hey.

Bingo.  If the poll was "should the post count/stars be removed", you'd see a landslide in favor of 'no'.

I'm going to make that poll myself, I'd love to see the results on that poll.

Yes, it defines the size of your e-penis :p

[Post-It Note]

I don't care about my post count, but I don't like it when people spam to get their post count high (ie, look at my sig). I wouldn't mind if post counts only appeared in our profile, not in every post.

Yes, It is not the be all and end all, but I think it matters in terms of people assessing what type of neowin member you are.

if you only have two posts, people can tell your a new person and welcome you. If you have a lot of post people can respect you and know that you have been a dedicated neowin member for quite a while.

It's not a big deal, just a little thing which I think can be useful from time to time.

Its quality over quantity.

You can have 1,000 posts and still act like a noob, or have a few posts and people think you've been here for a long time.

In my opinion, I believe that having more posts just means you have more things to say than the average browser of that forum. Nevertheless, not all 1,000+ posters do it the right way, but what can we do.

My dog says a lot, too.

Doesn't make the barking any more meaningful. :p

This poll is actually misleading.  Matter in terms of what?  Respect?  Shoe size?  Ability to play Doom 3?

Just as I thought. This is what I mean.... https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=316274

Essentially the same poll, just worded differently.

[Jesse Carlton]

no...different is different. this poll is "does post count have any impact on reputation, trust, amount of stupid a person causes, etc" the other poll is "should they take down the numbers and stars so everyone is judged by quality of posts, not number" > different.

Tomato, Tomatoe

It's the same thread since post count is directly related to stars. :pp

"does post count have any impact on reputation, trust, amount of stupid a person causes, etc" -- Where is that in the poll question?

'tis not the same poll.

This poll is asking an opinion of users; whether post count is of importantce and/or would cause you to make judgemental decisions based on them.

My poll is specifically asking "Would you like to see the post count as well as the stars removed from the neowin forums?".

Although they may aim to grasp the same general consensus, the differing results further prove that they are in fact not being considered identical questions.

Funny, I tend to 'respect' those with lesser post counts. someone for example with 2-3k posts when only joined last year, is someone I would consider annoying. Just gets old when every topic you read in on, you see the same bunch of kids writting the same responces; Already Posted, lol, haha, Congrats, +1, pwned, Firefox pwns, Opera Rawks, ect...

It's pathetic. All you guys with all those posts and only been here a year or two, for gods sake, get out and get a job/girlfriend or something. I pity you guys.

Anyways... to hell with post counts, stars, ranks, whatever. Rid them all. We're all equal, that's bottom line.

[Toastyone]

ahh I did not want to post here but after reading your post sin?......:p:p I guess you would consider me "annoying" but it is actually people like you who I find a bit annoying, you walk around and act that omg I have been here for three years and I only have 500 some posts, all my posts must be non-spam intelligent posts!!! I am not saying that is not true, but just because someone such as myself who has only been here around 7 months and has 3200+ posts it does not mean that all my posts or even a majority of them are spam..... just look at my profile almost half of them have come in HH helping people......I mean even 2 oyourb> last 6 posts have just been emoticons that?s it, no words nothing, and yet you said it gets old to read "the same bunch of kids" posting stuff like that.....Come on man lighten up you do not need to get all bitter about a silly post count.....

[yayaba]

Heh, I probably have a lower Member No. than a lot of you but yet my post count is pretty low. I usually just browse around instead of posting.

[Kompressor]

yes...

because post count is directly proportional to penis size... :pinch:

[zim2000]

no. Don't give a crap of about post count.

[kalizar]

although post count doesnt truly matter, to be honest i respect the opinion/ideas/suggestions from someone with a higher post count more than someoen with lower.

Hehe...nice response, but simply wrong. Postcount doesn't matter in principle, but you dare take away people's stars (which are directly a result of post count) then they show their true colors.

[Jesse Carlton]

oh that was mature boog.

[BoundToEarth]

lol :p

[kirk26]

No. In a 100 years when your dead it doesn't really make a difference.

[McLaren_F1]

i dont really care about post count :cool:

[turbomonkeycock]

I believe it to be the worst invention in the history of bulliten boards
