But I find it interesting that right now 40% want to keep it while 60% dont care, want it moved out of forums or want it changed all together. I figured considering there are a lot of people with high post counts, there would be more then 40% that would want to keep it. EDIT: Made it purti biased =/ I could easily say that only 24% of people, less than one in four, want it moved or removed. 76% of people dont actively want it to be changed. is it possible to institute both? add join date right beside the post count? seems it would satisfy both sides. theres plenty of room on that line to add something | ||

I have a low post count and a recent join date so people will think I'm a noob either way, having moved over from BW to War3 when it came out I have missed out on the TL bandwagon until recently. | ||

Just the notion that you're automatically good at Starcraft if you post on forums a lot is completely laughable, and that's putting it nicely. It's just sad when you come to a "forum" and think, "Well I can't be validated in Starcraft until I raise my post count, so I guess I'll just go post in the movie threads until I'm considered a legitimate Starcraft player." Excuse me while I roll my eyes. Edit: the second part wasn't directed at you oo_xerox No one is saying that 100% of new posters are bad players, why do people have to see things so black and white. In my opinion it usually is helpful personally, i there's a correlation between bad advice and low postcounts. Not 100%, but a correlation definitely. | ||

Or we could use icons to signify time as a member and keep post number. Or keep icons the same and put date joined. Right now, the icon and post counts are kinda redundant. (yes, the icons also are limited by time joined, but I doubt that they are the limiting factor.) | ||

The discrimination posts in that thread are the reason why I think it should be removed. It almost derailed the thread before a mod intervened. We wouldn't have this garbage with post count not being showed. | ||

It's good to see at least some people being warned for that behavior, but it's still hilarious that there are certain people who believe it doesn't exist. | ||

It's about quality rather than quantity --> I might "enjoy" a comment from a member with low post-count rather than a guy with more than 1000 posts. I don't think people read the post-count and base their decision wheter or not they are going to read the post. EDIT: After a bit of thinking I rather incorporate some ranking system based on posts so people can see who's a veteran and not. Or just keep the post-count. (wink wink) | ||

I agree with this, now i'm not saying that a person with a higher postcount is always the better poster (we all know for a fact that it's not true) but it's a good way to know if someone is a decent poster or not. | ||

My answer: Post Count - Removed and Join Date - Removed for they really don't have any importance to the forums if you want to see your statistics go to the Profile button to see your post and get your brief moment of satisfaction. If I had to pick between the two I would say Join Date would have more importance than Post Count because plain and simple any one can post a million times a day whether or not they have something important to say is another thing. | ||
