Bmw Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Well I agree with Merc, some people back on scape had so many thousands of posts, and now people are at what, 700+ after 1 week? 700 posts per week = 2800 posts per month = 33 600 posts per year, what spammers :roll: I would have to vote no, but I did value my precious 2800+ posts on scape, for sure, and I was sad to see they got deleted, and now spammers are taking over with so many posts in a single week :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGH228 Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 If it were up to me I'd ditch the post count. I'd like to see a count that showed the time we have spent browsing the fourms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most everybody here knows you had a lot of posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 So people remember my name. I guess its habit ;) I'll take it out then... if it makes my point more certain.

Max Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 its not that important to me, i just like people to know and hear on what ive got to say about something, i may speak for others sometimes and i am the type of person that would like to be heard. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruzbeh Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 It's not important to anyone i think It's just fun to see that lil number below your name grow and its just cool sometimes u notice how much you have posted and ur like "wow... that much" so yeah its cool but i would hardly ever spam the forums for post count :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db26 Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Post count isn't everything... But it sure is a lot. I don't strive to have the most posts, but definately somewhere up there so people recognise me at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysticsayen Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 I have better things to do with my time than spend hours prowling a board posting 5 words on every topic.That's beyond childish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernHero Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 No, it's not a big deal, but some kind of deal deal anyways. Reality is hundreds of times more beautiful and more interesting than delusions. Fairy tales just tend to be easier to follow than the wonderful intricacies of life.

Kwisatz Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 No, it doesn't. I've been a member for 1.25 years now, and I only have a 500-some count cumulatively. Lately, though, I've been spamming (bad me!), not on purpose, but I've been trying to reply to every topic I see. I have to get out of that habit... handed me TWO tissues to clear up. I was like "i'm going to need a few more paper towels than that luv" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad4u689 Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Actually, it kinda is a big deal to me :D I'll take a quick glance at someone's post count to find out what sort of poster they are. Of course, if I see them around the boards a lot, despite a low post count, that's more important :) Everybody hug and spread the love :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Kinslayer_ Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Yes, it means everything to me. If I don't get the highest post count on any forum I frequent I feel like I will cry :cry: *spammyspamspammcspammerson* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db26 Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 i think so, it gives you more respect/reputation This is the attitude that spawns spammers by the bucket load. But, most often it's true. Maybe people spam too much because of it, but there are also intelligent posts. I remember back about a bit over a year ago, a certain warez site (just to give you an idea... something with a "nova"...) released their forums. I registered the first day, and I posted a lot. It wasn't all spam, but some of it was. But either way, myself (who had the second highest post count) and one other person (who had the highest post count) were asked to become mods by the site admin. Because of this, I view post count differently. It definately counts for something. Anyone who tells you different is lying. How important it actually is variable by the forum though.

Most places dont grant modship just because of post counts. If they do they risk appointing untrustworthy staff. Here at tip.it the admins only make ppl mods who they can trust and who give the best answers not the most. Quality is better than quantity here. You will NOT become a mod just because yu have the most posts. If that were the case i would have been a mod a looooooooong time ago lol Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

khamoshi Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Personally it isn't for me, though I suppose we all get a little egoistic sometimes-how about you? Do you ever judge someone by the how many posts they have? if it wasnt a big deal for you , you wouldnt make such a useless post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
