tinman 305 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I've read in a few recruiting threads posters accusing others of just posting to increase their count. And I agree. What is the purpose of even showing a person's post count? If no real purpose it sure would help cut down on the BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the purpose of even showing a person's post count? If no real purpose it sure would help cut down on the BS. Post counts help establish credibility and dedication. (See A4E) Seriously though, it does make identifying a rival fan easier. Trolling amd low post count are a good indicator. Probably other good reasons but that's the first I could think of off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUbritt 611 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Cruiser is right. I don't think post count counts for much beyond that. I do see people using the claim that someone is working on their post count as equivalent to a -1 or to indicate a worthless post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKEEL75 2,566 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I do beg to differ. Just because you don't post doesn't mean that you have less creds or you are a troller. I have been here for over 5 years. Hard to say I am a troller! Oh yeah... +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea, though, is that those with a higher post count are generally folks who are committed in some way (or need to be, like a4e). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but once you get above 10,767 posts, you can't get any smarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
