Shiny Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I have a medium post count and am not active really in Off Topic. I think at first glance they show you the dedication of people, but once you hang round a bit more you really see how it is. Shouldn't be taken seriously.

i_love_burritos Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 They're definitley interesting to look at, and do count for something - but here in General Discussion I pay little attention to them as there is a relatively small user group. 2420 Active Posts, 3.22 per day.

Range_This11 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I judge a poster based on their grammar and ability to convey their ideas rather than their post count. Unless of course they have under 20 posts, then it's kind of hard not to.

Nadril Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 In your profile it tells you ALL of your active posts. Weird... my profile shows almost 3,000 less posts than my actual. Lol.They are not active anymore, you were here for so [bleep]ing long you have posts that no one will ever read again. That makes sense, haha.

stevepole Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I'm missing almost 1,000 posts on my profile. That's like a 1/3 of my total, ha. I never noticed that before, weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemathonical Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Since I've been here for a while I know who the main posters are and know people quite well so post count doesn't matter. But when I first came here I generally took more notice of posters with high post counts. ^Sir Jem 05-The Bunny Drinking Blog?^ Click it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racheya Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I know it's not really good but I do notice post counts a lot. You see, my forum experiences have all been people who had a thread where they would constantly chat and spam, I used to spend hours running around their and the games trying to get my post count up by another 100 in the evening. I have 13,700 posts there and an average of 8.7 posts a day despite the fact I was banned for a full year and couldn't post all that time :mellow: So I'm still kind of stuck looking at post count since it's been hardwired into me for 3 years. I try not to judge using it though, I mainly use it as a way of telling how active someone is. I edit for the [Tip.It Times]. I rarely write in [My Blog]. I am an [Ex-Moderator].

Jernlov Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I'm more of a lurker, in general. I look at post count, but I don't really take anything into consideration because of it. Like Nadril, I simply like little statistics. I've had my phases of posting a lot here, though. Steam | Soup | Last.fm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Cheese Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I'm on here pretty much everyday but I never post. If someone has a high post count you have generally seen them post more then once so you have already formed an opinion of them and are more likely to like/dislike them. Anyhow, the order I go in looking at ones name is post count then joining date. Thanks SkyFleet for the awsome siggy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youmu Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 To be honest, I don't really care about post count. I just post, and eventually my post count rises. However, sometimes when I make a post, the post count does not go up. Is this an error or something?

Intriguing Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I would say "quality over quanitity" but what happens if you have neither? :( Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumpta Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Post count is overrated. Often, I read topics that are so appalling that they automatically make me look at the poster's post count, and as often as not the person in question has 500+ posts at the very least. It's not just the newly joined members who produce trash. I'll say more, I'm a bit weary of the "post cannons". Some of them can be quite stuck-up, though, as far as I can tell, that seems to be rather rare on tip.it. Post count is a good indicator of the involvement of the person in the forum community though. Then again, not always true, e.g. I have over 1k posts here and I've hardly been around this past year. Whenever I join a forum myself, I try to be pretty active though, in order to get rid of the stigma you always get when you're newish. Luckily, my ready wit and intelligent posts quickly dispel all misgivings people might have. (And because sarcasm doesn't transfer over the Internet: I'm KIDDING. Sort of.)

warri0r45 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 It doesn't concern me. It's not necessarily a proxy for maturity, nor is a low post count indicative of immaturity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSxqPowerx Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I actually have no idea what mine is - posting to see what it is ;) Generally though, I don't make any assumptions based on post count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ximigda Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I do not look at the post count that much, generally only if they use off-site links. I lurk alot myself, and i do not post that much. Generally to "judge" someones posts, i prefer to look at the quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavi Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I admit I kind of like my postcount, it's cool to have high numbers and an awesome-sounding rank on my profile. It would be funny to get an option to hide your postcount (I believe there's such a feature on vBulletin? Don't remember.) and have all the people with like 5k+ postcounts go around for a while, see what happens. :razz: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harakiri Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I like using it for statistical reasons, and I like seeing how many posts I've made altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainy_Day Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 They help to see how active you are (in a way), but aren't really that important. I look at usernames/signatures/avatars to see if it is a user I know more often than not before reading a post.

SirHartlar Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 It is nice to reach certain milestones, but overall I don't think post count is that important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obfuscator Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I'd say I look at post count as an indication of activity and maturity, but it certainly isn't the be all and end all of judgement.
