Throw out post count

[the Jester]

I like post counts, I think they're fun.

I don't generally post just to increase my post count, but I often post if I'm feeling chatty or something... but then again, ot posts in the Hive don't count.

I dunno, I just think it's neat to be able to look at someone's post count and join date and say, "Wow, so-and-so has posted over 1000 posts in just four months" or "Gee, so-and-so doesn't post much, but I've seen them around forever and all their posts are really cool."

There are times when I post to most of the threads in a forum, but usually I have something to say in most of them.

You know, I just looked in on about half a dozen of those threads, and in most of them the poster in question actually had something on topic to say. Nothin' wrong with that, certainly?

There's no way to know who's got the biggest without post count.

There's no way to know who's got the biggest amount of time to kill without post count.

Fixed that for j00.

Funny you should mention someone I have never even heard of.

His story hour should be professionally published - it's that good. He's got a lot of fans, and he damn well deserves them.

As for Pogre's complaint, as always a pattern of contentless posts draws a moderator reminder/rebuke. This is more effective than a global change like removing post count.

Ok, so that's why. I have never read a single story hour ever. I might start one day but digress that I fear I have to little patience for it. That and that short stories in english isn't really my cup of tea. (okay so what am I doing here anyway .. hmmm ..)

I totally agree that a simple reminder to transgressors is more effective, that and the fact that some forums, ie the Hive, doesn't count in postcounts anymore.

Just don't look at it I say, which is harder than it sounds, but for the most part it does not mean anything. What I wish I did was set my avatar birthday as the day I first signed on, sort of member sence....

Really? I read stories in Danish all the... err... never mind. I don't speak Danish. My bad.

I'll give you a crash-course in it when we meet. Off course, we probably won't be getting much futher than pleasant unpleasantries.
