Post Count

[Pants]

Just a thought

Why do we need the number of posts a person has made to be shown? Surely it is irrelevant and quality is more important than quantity.

It shows how hard you are.

Hard as in thick skinned?

Maybe they should change the descriptions from tour pro, well known member to New Born Marsupial and wizzened old rhino etc

If it's irrelevant why do we need to worry about it..

Most of the time I’m looking at the forum on my mobile so don’t see the post count anyway.

There are a lot of pointless posts, so replace that bit under the avatar with number of liked posts instead.

Nearest thing we have to a quality meter.... quality and quantity are not mutually exclusive or inclusive partners....

So you joined in 2009 but have only posted 601 times

Maybe if you posted more, you wouldn’t be ashamed at this tiny number ??

Seriously it’s really not a big thing any more, it indicates whether someone is a long term poster or a new member just starting.

For instance from a mod point of view, a new member would have a friendly chat whereas a 20000 poster who knows the ropes would get a kick.

Live with it, accept it, coz we can’t change it ?

It appears to be very important to some people. Maybe it's the keyboard warrior equivalent of a large pen.......

Maybe not

Or it might mean they have something to say, and only post when they mean to and not for the sake of it.

It also lets you know how much certain people are posting when they are supposed to be working

Damn, never thought of that???

It has about the same relevance as the number of games of minesweeper I have played.

God I hate to think to add up all the numbers of that on all the computers I have owned since the mid 80s.

There's a clear leader in the clubhouse. Running away with it like Liverpool.

Why does it bother you?

I never indicated it did

First three words were "Just a thought"
