Sincerely, the join date is more useful to classify people. I see myself looking at join dates all the time. "This HAS to be a post sc2 user"->check->95% of the times I'm right.

But some of the best users only have a few of posts (MDT anyone?), while some posters made over 1000 since the start of the beta.

So about the post count... I don't care.

I believe that TL should keep the post count as is. It seems like the fastest way to see if a user is a 1 poster or greater than a certain number.

It's clearly not a must!

not unless you make a video with puppys!

Let it stay as it is, if someone spams for more posts, ban him,
otherwise it's still a good thing to put a bit more weight into answers from users with ridiculous high post counts. As the commandments say, you should respect your elders.

You could add another poll asking how many posts the person voting has, to see if it's somewhat biased

Here or in forums where i have higher post count, I find it a totaly useless statistic to be shown either way.

I know quite a few users who joined TL around the same time as me (late 08/early 09) who have five times my post count or greater.

A low post count does not imply a new member. I just don't post that much because I don't have that much that I want to say.

There seems to be a lot of post count e-penis measuring going on at the forums.

Unfortunately, my post count is rather... short. But some day, it might be large and I could lord myself over the small dicked newbies!

So we should keep it as is.

If you take the post count down people will post less and there will be a lot less useless posts imo, ive seen that action taken in a lot of forums and it usually works quite well. I voted i dont care though cause i never visit the sc2 forums.

I agree that post count and join date would be an improvement on what we have now.

Post counts are awesome I always check a users post count before posting some of my responses to their posts. Lol, and then when I go and click user profile If they joined before me, with a post count of 2 I definitely change my post. Simply put, the longer a member has been here, the more leisure they have over me.
