Alg Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Post counts are cool numbers that don't mean a thing. Except that it's kind of a red flag in the Debate area when a user joins and only posts the same opinion as the guy losing the debate. Otherwise how cool or memorable a user's sig/avvy is matters a lot more. I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizz Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I only look at post count when someone post a link and judge that link in accordance to their post count. If it's 50+ I might open it.That's about it what I use post counts for :/ Wongton is better than me in anyway~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Yeah, I do question links from anyone with under 100 posts or so. Other than that, it's just a number. [bleep] the law, they can eat my dick that's word to Pimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevepole Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 When I look at other users I look more at the date they joined more then post count because it gives me a better idea of how long the person has been around the community and they usually know how to make a "good" post that adds to a discussion rather then just making a quick comment that doesn't necessarily adds to the discussion.

l0rd Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I like reflecting and adding to my post count, but I generally don't pay any mind to anyone else's.I just don't feel like post count has any credibility to be a basis for seeing how active someone is.1. There are things like "What are you listening to now?", and many Runescape-related threads that, in general, have no more than a sentence or so per-reply. Also, you can't compare user X who's replies average 1 sentence, and user Y who's replies average >100 words; I try to be closer to the user Y .2. Not everyone enjoys putting their two cents into every thread they look at (like me). I am very active on TIF, but my post-count isn't representative of my activity at all.3. Because the disparity between join-dates are so great for high-post users, you gotta take into account when they joined if you want to lend any credibility to this post-count thing. Aside from gauging a users activity, post-count is still interesting to look at as a way of simply seeing the history of a user. I'm glad TIF counts posts.

deathdrow Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I have no idea how, but I have 3400 or so posts, I think. Last time I looked I was at 2800 or so. I do like seeing the different rank title things as I go along though, those are always cool. I never expected I'd end up having as many posts as I do.

Also had that problem. It was a little confusing seeing everyone mention their profile count being higher than what is under their name in a topic, when mine is the opposite.

fastortoise Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 786 active posts... this is all backwardsThe only good post counts do is they make members trust the poster. If someone is posting a link and has less than 100 posts I make sure not to click it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
