Does postcount matter? /postcount +1

Jet Black · 13-04-2009 10:49PM #1

Do you value the opinions of a person with a large post count more than someone with less posts?
Do you read the comment and then look at the post count and think 'hmm they have five thousand posts so they must know what there talking about'.
Or 'hmm they only have four hundred posts I will ignore there imput'.

Does anyone care about there or other peoples post count?

[Rant]Also something that annoys me is people who just say +1 or

and nothing else on a comment, what a valuable input, no really. Is that not the point in thanks?*[/Rant]

*wonder if anyone will put +1 on this thread:rolleyes:

i don't value it because i know there are plenty of people like me who are on their 4th/5th account..

Gummy Panda · 13-04-2009 10:51PM

erm.. no

if you look at my post count then at my posts, you still 90% of them are just noise.

quality over quantity

redout · 13-04-2009 10:52PM

In short no.

It makes no difference

Once an asshole always an asshole.

Could someone summarise this post for me? I don't read anything by people with under 500 posts.

Peyton Manning · 13-04-2009 10:53PM

No.... Ill explain why in another post.

Vain · 13-04-2009 10:55PM

Nah.

sub-x · 13-04-2009 10:55PM

I heard when you get to 5000 posts they teach you the first of the secret handshakes.

Insect Overlord · 13-04-2009 10:56PM

I used to value it to some extent, but now most of the top posters on Boards get most of their post-count from the BGRH bar/the Lair/Ladies' Lounge general discussion thread.

That said, I think the number does still influence people on some level, even if they don't make a conscious decision to take it into account.

AlmightyCushion · 13-04-2009 10:56PM

Of course it matters. The ladies on boards are all over victor and mike65.

what's the point......

CyanRain · 13-04-2009 10:57PM

I tryot to care, but I know myself that if I was looking for information on something, a part of my brain wouldn't trust someone who has just posted their 4th post or something. I don't know why, it's just the way it is.

entropi · 13-04-2009 10:58PM

The postcounts dont matter, its the posts themselves that do.

Diabhal Beag · 13-04-2009 11:00PM

If I see somebody who has signed up for a year with 2000 or more posts than they do not get the same response from me as somebody with 2000 posts in 3 years

NO, just look at mine.
A large post count does not mean that the poster is more intelligant than a poster with a smaller post count.
It doesn't make sense.:)

I can only speak for myself here, no.

[Rant]Also something that annoys me is people who just say +1 or and nothing else on a comment, what a valuable input, no really. Is that not the point in thanks?*[/Rant]

I think I only put the + thingy in once since I have been posting.
I normally thank the post because I agree with it and therefore no point in posting what I was going to say, or the post made me laugh.

*wonder if anyone will put +1 on this thread:rolleyes:

Yes.

I've been on boards longer than most of the lifeless losers with postcounts in the thousands.

I prefer to browse these days unless there's a topic that I feel strongly about.

It turns out it's a handjob and you'll get it no matter how much you protest.

You offend a lot of posters with that remark, do you not?
I am not a lifeless loser, and take exception to that.

I heard that it was actually a stickjob and that it was very unpleasent;)

In relation to post count I notice that the vast majority of people with less than 100 posts tend to get abuse and have their opinions ridiculed far more than those with a higher post count regardless of whether or not they have a valid point.

I think it should be quality over quantity.

I've the same attitude but I also make exceptions for people who are relativly new with very few posts as long as their not being muppets. We've all gone through it.
