The Value of A High Post Count

i think a 1000 post cost would mean so much more then a 1 post count haha...

 

Granted, it means you're more active. It doesn't mean you're more trusted.

 

vouches > join date > postcount

but i really dont care since i always ask for MM

 

Postcount is definietly a factor in my trust of someone. A person with high-postcount has more to lose from a banning, as high postcount often coves with an old join date and vouches.

 

Not really. There have been members in the past who posted a load of times to make themselves look more trustworthy, but had a join date that was relatively new. I still stand by my assumption that post count means shit. Posting 1000 times to scam 200$ makes up for whatever that they lost.

 

As much as people say that post count doesn't matter, I'm sure most of us look at these 3 criteria's when seeing if somebody is trustworthy;

Vouches
Post count
Join date

 

And possible ranks. I wouldn't be half as trusted as I am without the ranks I have.

 

Even without your ranks I would trust you. Joined in early 08 and over 2.5k posts. If you were gonna scam you would have done it by now, you would wait 2 years and stay active here JUST to scam someone... (i hope )

 

I dont think it has anything to do with trust.
Its nothing apart from how often a user posts?
But like you say ~ some people like high post counts when trading, i dont know why.

 

The higher your post count, the larger your penis.

 

So you admit to having a small penis...? 2 posts ftl

 

so you guys would rather choose someone with low post with a lot of vouches

 

people view it differently then others, look at me, ive been here for ~5 years and still a leacher =p....

 

I'd like to assume that people with an about average post count/day and a decent join date were trustworthy, but sadly that is not the case. I don't just put join date, post count, and vouches into consideration. I talk to people personally and if I get any negative vibes myself I just back out. It does have a result in a lot of discussion, but it's not a deal breaker for myself to have low post count.

 

I really don't like posting, but I guess most people base everything on posting.

 

pwned.

 

^.

Also, I have over 1,000 posts, but I don't really consider myself more trustworthy than someone with 1 post.

 

I think what is including in the post is more important than post count. But vouches obviously beat post count.

 

Post count isnt much to me. Vouches are more.

 

3 years, still a leecher, I don't post much, just look around and post when I have to.
