I don't know, I voted too quickly before thinking about it. I don't think erasing post count will eradicate spamming, people will always write lol or one liners no matter what anyway. If you do remove them then people will most likely turn to icons as some indication. It'll be no different since worker icon is the same thing as low post count. Then people will spam again to change their icon.

And besides, people who frequent this site already know who the spammers are and who the great posters are already. People who continuously disrespect this forum/have horrible posting habits are removed in the long run so I don't think we really need to change anything, but I voted remove post count (before thinking properly).

I don't care where post count is displayed, but it's a useful stat to have sometimes.

Join date would be nice though, maybe just going by years to keep it simple? Or best of all, have the option to see users post count or join date?

I think there is a formula to prevent this from happening

I don't know the psychological effects of removing post-counts entirely, nor the psychological effect of having them, so I propose we do a test-run for a week or two without them and we'll see how people respond.

I think a join date should be applied to the user banner as well, I usually post with more respect to the older users, unless their posts are garbage and most of them are "LOL" "THAT WAS SWEET" "OMG" or my personal favorite "^" (to agree with the previous poster). Anyway, join dates with post counts would be cool. On a side note, since sc2 beta came out and the influx of new members I can definitely notice the difference in posts. You can tell when a post is made by a post beta member or by an old school BW player.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

I'd keep the post count.
Is this to reduce spam threads?

Keep it as it is, but change how Liquibet tiebreakers are decided. IntotheWow should not win by default!

I don't really care but people tend to judge based on post counts which is what I don't like. Just because someone has a high post count, it does not mean they are more wise and intelligent. Its just stupid in my opinion. I do think that it should be kept though.

APM /= skill
Post count /= good poster

Having a post counter visible is a reward for people who spam shit posts. Which, IMO, is the worst thing about the team liquid forums. In order to get to anything useful I have to wade through pages and pages of "Lol" and "Epic" or stupid things like that.

Why would you reward someone who does that with respect?

Regdate is much better, because it gauges how long someone has been following the scene, AND that he or she has not been banned in that time, so their posts are therefore somewhat more useful to read.

Keep post counts, only weak posters fear having their posts shown.

Not important at all for me. Joindate is a more interesting indicator I think. Why not keep postcount to "profile only"?

Keep postcount as it is, but perhaps add an easy way to see the average words per post for that user (if it's tracked at all)

Don't really mind either way, i think both would be fine. Voted show only in profile since i don't see the importance of the post count info except as something interesting to look up.

I don't see the point of removing it? Is it to fight spam? You think those idiots won't make shitty posts for reasons other than post count as well?

voted for keep as it is. But it's no big deal i guess would be ok with both options for me. My average postcount is 5 a week haha, mostly lurking around except for holiday weeks.

Its to stop the high post count circle jerk that goes on if people less than 100 posts make a comment. If you guys want to compete with this new website husky/hd just opened up you are gonna have to be a bit more welcoming to people who aren't 'old vets'.

Posts should be judged on the content of the post, not the guy who posts it.

Since there are so many shit posters with over 1000 posts, removing it should stop some of the incentive for retarded comments. Too many people just post for the hell of getting their post counts up.
As long as there are special icons for those that contribute and work for TL then there shouldn't be a problem.

I think date joined would be better, but I might be slightly biased, considering how I got a low post count and joined pre-beta
