Bah, post count, shmost count..

Your joking right?

Give me an example of how I was being extreme...

Oh, and by the way, get 3000 posts in 5 minutes.

Do it, I dare you.

 

I think that post count shouldn't matter, i think there should be a karma thing where you get karma as you go along doing good things for people and getting with proof... just my opinion

 

He did say 5 months ..
And it is TOTALLY possible.. I am WELL on my way.. been here for about a month now.. but look at my post count

 

Post account is okay, but I don't think you should make too many decisions off it.

 

yeah i agree with 1337

 

He could have changed it, but I could have read it wrong.

Anyways, I apologize for my last statement if you didn't change it.

 

i think we should keep it cuz if some1 has like 1000 posts, i would trust him more then a leecher even if ive never seen him b4

 

eh, i like post count, i feel i can trust a lot more people who have higher post counts.

I just don't like the people who go around saying "OMG!! i had +200 posts before the hack!!!!!!!!!!" To me thats saying that they like their post count more than the whole sythe community

 

or he could be a spammer bent on getting a good post count to scam people that "trust" him

 

Many scammers will try to gain some post count before they scam, since many people DO trust people beacause of their high post count.

On a forum that I am a member of, a user worked there way up to an admin postion on a newly created forum, and ended up scamming a red phat less than a month later.

Thanks for that example. =p

 

blah blah blah u love to post u stick with it i just post cuz i wanna.

 

yeah...? what?..

 

Yea..the reputation system sucked.

And post count is just post count. It doesn't make you more trusted, and it certainly doesn't make your penis bigger.

Check join date, and their current forum position(ranks, etc).

I lost 1200+ posts from the rollback BTW. Came back with ~40.

 

for the most part your right, but if a person has enough patience they could get lots of posts and have joined for like 5 months and gain trust only to do a huge scam. so its basically just relies on luck of the draw, u either get a person who's gonna scam or u don't.

 

me too man...

 

I think it helps a bit.


For example: I'm sure you can agree that there is a difference between a leecher with 1 post who joined today that sells a level 126.
and
Someone who has 300+ posts and a year-old-account selling a level 126.

Your idea isn't a bad one, but think about it. We both know you don't know everyone. Post count just helps.

 

oh yeah, join date DEFFINATELY makes a difference.. and post count..penis size.. yeah, it doesn't change your respect..

but so many people spam just to get it up.. then they say "I'm more trusted cause I have 700 posts"..

if you go to their profile, it says about 50 posts per day.. HONESTLY! then they scam.. and people whine..

So they are spammers and scammers.. and post count is a major cause of it.

 

Ive seen this on another runescape forum. It is a very good idea.

 

I think that people should be judged on the quality of their posts not the quantity, so I agree that the "post count" can be a false representation.

Personally if I see someone with 500-600 posts with a join date of only 1-2 months ago my initial reaction is "spammer!" and 90% of the time that is correct (useless, stupid replies like "wow nice" etc..), although I like to look around at what the person is like on the forums before I make any final judgments.

When I used to do a lot of trading on this site I would personally do some "research" into the other person to see how they contribute to the forums before 'trusting' them. It is good to look at both the post count AND join date and form your own opinion based on your knowledge of the person..

 

i said 3 months cocksucker!!! learn to read!
