Get Rid of Post Count =/

Well if your implying that all people get high post count so they can scam?
Post count just shows how much your active.
Also if YOU had common sence, YOU could tell the spammers from the regulars.

If you look at my posts. Most (other than those 3 reported as spam) are full to the brim with information. It has nothing to do with my "posts per day", as I spend most of my day on this website. You also just stereotyped me, the way I just have said people do. Just because I use the forum alot, doesn't make me a spammer. And you have no idea how many times I have seen TGUMP (and others), spam messages that have nothing to do with a thread. Sometimes they think they are being funny (tgump, finn, others), sometimes they even are funny (cp, nathan, other funny mods), but if they weren't moderators they would be infracted for spam (I'm not talking about in the spam forum). I just found a message tgump where you posted a bunch of semicolons, not even in the spam thread.

EDIT:
Tgump, when they are talking about post limits/requirements - it means things like...you have to have this many posts to view a specific thread, ect. They said nothing about removing the post count itself. THAT is what you call thinking outside of the box.

EDIT2:
Also, my name is SNOWBOARD-Ninja not Snowbound.

It happens on every single message-board, and it's bullshit. It seriously isn't fair that it happens, but unfortunately, there isn't a lot anyone but the people themselves can do about it. I've even been flamed for pointing it out on another message-board...

I've seen you make an absolute shitload of good posts, and have never seen you make a "bad" one. I respect you a lot due to those posts, and I think that this is a good idea. As some people have already done in this thread, post count generally leads to stereotypes, I've known a few boards that went quite well without it. It wouldn't just lead to people judging people on post count, and flaming them as a result, it would also make the Black Market a better place, I think, without everyone saying, "0mg l33ch3r!!!!!!!!!!", rather than trading them, when they could trade them, but use precautions, there's plenty of MM out there, that'd be happy for a job, I believe.

Not that it may mean much due to my post count, but, I support this idea a lot.
 
I think that post count is like trust tbh..
The more post count the more ppl trust you...

For example...

I Have 1billion post count
A noob has 1 post count


Who would u trust?
:P
 
post count needs to stay this is FORUM and thats why there are vouches anyway right?....
 
I don't see how removing post count gets us anywhere.

We should just stop only trading people with high post count, activity and hontesty aren't the same.

Many traders say "Will only go first if you have 1000+ posts) or something, more often than not, the people I see banned have many more posts than I do.

Seeing ones activity is nice, it shows they help keep the forum alive and everything, but we shouldn't judge everything by ones activity.
 
Yea.. your one to talk.. 700 posts in 2 months?
 
Ive been here for over a year, and the guy who started has many times more posts than me, ye he joined two months ago, hes not the right person to speak about such a thing.
 
No I believe post counts should stay.

I'm sick of people posting random stuff just to get their post count up. I'm also sick of getting infracted for saying a "short sentance" just because most do this to get their post count up. I got infracted for saying "you guys are funny", "that is a good movie", and "Free Bump" (after the guy asked me to bump his thread). Post count is completely USELESS (other than perhaps getting newfags to get "hooked" on the forum, and become active). My :idea: suggestion:idea: is to either remove post count ALTOGETHER, or to make it OPTIONAL to show your post count. I also am sick of people telling me I must spam alot because my post count is so high for a new person:mad: . Overall post-count is completely retarded, and seriously - someone give me a GOOD reason why we SHOULDN'T remove it.;) This would also make things alot easier for giddy. Sure, this might decrease the flow this website, but it would be the useless members who don't help contribute to this community anyways.

Hi My Name Is Flame_Att33 I Joined Around 1 Year Ago

SPAMMER VS NON SPAMMER

And You Say You Dont Spam ?
 
Isnt a forum about the post's evryone made..? why remove them.. just don't spam -.-
 
its the only thing apart from vouches you can judge people by and it would be stupid to remove it...
 
IMO i really dont care about post count, or whatever.
Ive been a member since 07 i only ever post when i feel it necessary or when i am selling/buying something :)
I couldn't care less if people think i have a low post count and dont have links to my vouches. If you dont trust me i couldnt give a crap, GTFO and find someone else to trade with. ^_^
 
taking away PC wouldnt help the forum. there is enough scamming on here as it is, we dont need leechers that can say theyre trusted while they make up vouches with stolen sythe accounts. while it does have a few flaws, the post count system is the most effective system around.
 
Stay /fail. You wont no if they have 1 post count or 4000

Post Count does matter. One of the reasons is that is shows people their ranking. Usually people with high post count have been here the longest and probably know more about site than others. Plus I wanna reach Guru lol.
 
Post count needs to stay, there are several reasons for it.
1. When post count is removed people will go into the persons previous posts, and figure out how many they have anyway.
2. New people will join and put something stupid in there signature like 1000+ posts.
3. Post count is an important component in judging someone. When I decide who I am trading with, if they are trustworthy etc, I usually go through this sort of cycle--
________A. Look at there join date.
________B. Compare post count to join date. (As well as posts per day)
________C. View vouches, and check who the vouches are from (legit?)
________D. See previous posts, any accusations of a scam by said member?
________E. How they speak (previous posts yet again), as well as directly to me on msn or some sort of chatting service. Do they seem intelligent?
________F. Are they going first? Are they open to MM's. Are they asking you to go first?
________G. Are there posts short, or usefull and filled with information?

I am sure many of you do things similar to this.
