Poll: Remove post count from the forums

[ps3ud0]

I always read it as a shorthand version of "I wholeheartedly agree with what you say and rather than repeat it in my own inimitable style I will instead endorse your previous reply with my approval by way of a shorthand '+1'

Aslong as a post count doesn't go on a CV then there really is no point. If I'm interested in a thread I take all posts into consideration, not just ones with people with high post counts.

 

[JayToukon]

I think post counts show what occupation you have to an extent. I bet the majority of high posters work in IT or are unemployed

Also, i think PPD is more accurate to read activity than total posts.

Don't pay any attention to postcount, so it wouldn't change anything.

Doesn't really bother me either way, post count or people doing +1.

Athough I quite often start typing a reply then think to myself; god that is a pointless response, and don't bother posting it.

edit: kind of like this post really, the world could have quite happily gone on without it

It has some meaning - it indicates how active/involved you are in the forums for start.

Sure, it's not overly important, but it has a purpose.

I say keep it but whenever someone mentions post count they should lose all of theirs ..... starting from NOW.

WHO ARE YOU?!

How do we separate the men from the boys if not by post count?

[Burnsy2023]

We've been here before, no point removing them. They're there and not harming (or even really affecting) anything.

Indeed, and it makes some people happy I suppose.

 

[peterattheboro]

I don't care about it but keep it cos it's good to give you an idea of who the regulars are if you've never seen their name before.

Where's the poll option for "Too scared to vote lest a Don decide all people giving the answer I chose can have their postcount zeroed for the lulz"?

Do you count for 2 people now?

Waffles please.

I spam.

You spam.

We all spam for spamspam.

/fap

If a man spams in the forums, but no one's around to read it... is it still spam?

Interesting proposition.

I think you should stop talking rubbish and goto bed though.

I like turtles.

[semi-pro waster]

I think I'd be 110k+ now. That's after slowing down.

I lost track after you reached about 90k I think which was around when you changed your post count however in the time between then and now you're probably right, 20k posts wouldn't take you too long.

I've voted don't care on the poll but as I mentioned at the start I think it would work very well for MM if they were removed.

 

[Frenzy]

I dont mind losing the post count only if I keep my pr0n subforum access going...

ps3ud0

how many posts do i need to get access to this?

 

[Aedus]

No post count? **** this then, bai gaiz

 

[antijoke]

how many posts do i need to get access to this?

10,000.

I'm not too fussed about it, I've sold all mine off for one of the charity auctions before. It does add to the usefulness/reliability measure of a user though, gives you a rough posts/day or /year measure.

I just find it interesting to see how much I chat on here. I am amazed how many posts I have made.
