Post counts

[cucumberman]

I've been on here for six years and I've never seen avatars

that's right we didn't. We had a who's who picture thread.

My points are treated as less valid than someone with a high post count even though their posts are 5% city related and 95% are "what are you having for tea" or soft porn. Whatever.

You've accused a member of belittling you for your post count when they pointed out that people might give your words a little more credence if you weren't so confrontational, I think you need to go back and read those posts again.

really?

If i was pointing out to someone that people would give what they wrote a little credence it would go along the lines of..

"Your post seems a little confrontattional have you ever thought that if you toned it down a little then people may just see what you have written rather than how you have written it"

compare that to what was actually written and you will see there is a world of difference and at no point in my example have I said you wrote crap or mentioned a post count. Bizzare.

I certainly wasnt confrontational I merely wrote how it looks, and without resorting to calling someones opinion crap, which is confrontational, but as im all grown up I wont lose any sleep over it.

We did, but some of the ugly mugs on there fucked up my image drivers

I haven't read through the whole thread but in my view a guy who registered today and makes just one post could potentially have a more positive impact on the community than say myself who has a shitload of posts and I'm always doing something bad :D

Hopefully this may encourage people to post to contribute to discussion rather than "for the sake of it/to increase post count"

Are the ones with high post counts moaning because they are worried they might be seen as nomarks.

I'd imagine the ones who are in support of no post counts are the posters who live in off topic or even the mains where you don't have to put up with these wumming twats. Having no post count only works when you don't have as many posters posting. Me personally, I couldn't give two fucks if my post count shows or not, but as some have already said, it makes it a hell of a lot easier to spot the nobs on the wum.

Is this not just a pointless discussion as the decision has been made?
