Post count - What is the purpose?

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.

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.

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.

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

It doesn't mean you're a troll necessarily. Everyone has their first post at some point. 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).

It shows how smart you are, kinda like having multiple degrees in science makes you smarter than someone else.

:laugh:;D

Yeah, but once you get above 10,767 posts, you can't get any smarter.

;D
