Post counts

[manimanc]

I think new posters with a join date of Jan-July 2015 should be burned at the stake.
Thanks.

I would have thought you can recognise people better from their user name than post count and surely your opinion would be better formed on the quality of their posts rather then the quantity of posts.

The more info the better for me,a glance gives me a better idea of who they are,i can't be arsed looking up their post counts and looking at their posts individually

Nah the ones from March are alright. Agree about the rest though.

They can still be viewed though if you wish. For example I can see you have 204 posts just by clicking on your username.

For all those who are in favour of them being hidden, what difference does it make whether you can see them immediately or on another click of the mouse. Hiding them has done nothing iMO, and I for one would like to see them back

I would like the post count back.....took me years to get that number now I fel devalued....... mods out :)

In seriousness I do not see why they were removed.......it will be a case now of everyone with bad things to say being called a rag/wum at least if someone had 2000 posts they would just get wum and not rag :)

I have always subconsciously glanced at them to see whether I will pay attention. If it's no big deal in leaving them there then why not put them back?

 

[mosssideblue]

Can any of the Mods share what problem they are trying to solve by this action and whether they genuinely believe it will make any difference bearing in mind on another click of a mouse, that information is there?

There is obviously passion on both sides for this, so wouldn't a win win be the ability to either enable or disable it?

If there is a vote do people will it be weighted so that those with higher post counts vote is worth more?

 

[IanBishopsHaircut]

I want it to return...had no idea how much I looked at it until it was gone!

 

[waspish]

Since using tapatalk about 3 years i dont know my post count and never know any other peoples post counts and never go looking for it no matter how controversial!

 

[Paul_Powers_Tash]

Isn't it the quality of the posts rather than the number of posts that counts? Forgive me if this has already been suggested but I've seen elsewhere a system where people can commend or approve of a post thereby effectively rating the quality of the post.

Because people are perhaps only going to click on them to see when they have suspicions about a certain poster due to the content of their post rather than judging them from their post count before reading what they've actually posted. I think it may also give confidence to some with low post counts to contribute a bit more.

Date joined

Means fuck all.

You watch our first loss and all the rags come crawling out with 50 posts in 9 years since they joined.

 

[SWP's back]

So ric wanted feedback, majority want them back, a few don't and now it's the same three or four people repeating their points.

If ric really wants feedback then we can do a poll, which Damocles doesn't want as he knows it will go the way he doesn't want.

So no point having feedback nor the thread as no one is changing anyone else's mind are they.

This does seem to happen a lot.

Not sure I agree. I think it might have the reverse effect and cause more "calling" . As for low post counts contributing, everyone on here at one time started at zero and some are now in the tens of thousands.

All forums have banter as part of the debates occuring. If we are hiding post counts to protect people on an internet forum because they might not like the response, then we have greater issues.

Yep and before it was easy to ignore by a quick look at join date and post count. I'll be tucked if I'm clicking on every **** on the Pellegrini out thread

 

[quiet_riot]

ha

if anyone is really that bothered then put your post count in your location like quiet_riot has done ;)

That's my season ticket location ;)

I agree.
