Post counts

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.
 
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

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.
 
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.

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.

I agree.
