Ron, Your post about "post counts" bullshit is utter rubbish. Who honestly cares about that these days, on the other hand why bother removing it? There is no point because It helps n00bs identify people who can give them help..... generally if you PM someone like rishwin or Kentucky they will help you (refer to there post counts).
just totally remove post count even from profiles
voted No
THough u have a point the point is people with low posts usually dnt care about the forum and break all the rules a high post count shows the user is dedicated to the forum, though i dnt agree calling them noobs they are many cases whey're i have seen scams but nobody believed the person why? low post count. If he had a high post count i hate to say it but some ppl may believe the person
So you can see the postcount is just to say that this person has devoted their time to this forum and they can be trusted.
Wouldn't make much difference imo. If I see a thread or post of some interest, I'll read it first, then decide if it's a waste of time or not. I don't look at the poster's Post Count and straight away decide if I should read it or not. Don't see the point.
Agreed.
Leave the damn thing, why do you all whine over something that isnt a problem.
oooooooo I just came up with a great idea.. increase all posts counts x5! OMG!
Yeah increase all posts x15 even better!!!
I agree with Rish.
There is no point in hiding the post count cause the abuse will continue no matter what you do.
hey guys i've come to the conclusion if we remove location, join date, posts and rank and we will never have a problem.
TeL u wot. HydE Teh peePoll whOve opEmlee JudgEd yU 4on ur poS kOunTs ArLone + noRt evRy1s ElSes PoS KoUnt.
have post counts as a customisable feature so u can turn it on and off
i agree. people who as ron said have low post count dont really get taken seriously and even if they have a bullshit comment it can just be deleted right and thats end of story
As were getting more drastic i say we remove everything and we'll never know who's posting, problem solved, anyway i like seeing my post count rise ¬_¬
Woah, woah, woah people. Don't all overeact over this. Surely the simple solution would be to never visit this or any another forum again. Perish the thought that people may actually judge you! *feigns shocked expression*
Remove post count... sure, want a reason? Take the time to read through all the posts. If you decided to only check the ones with fancy colored names or high post counts, then there's your reason. If you actually read through every single one, then there's your other reason.
I already read through the thread like everyone that i do and ofcourse i've read posts with normal names -.-.
Thats why i said what i just said. I don't even bother reading there post count, saying please where i can get mu files in the meet and greet section is because there idiots and has nothing to do with post counts but yet some want it removed for a stupid reason.
This has nothing to do with "oh you didn't read my post." This is all strictly a matter of ego, and I'll never believe that 80% of those who voted "Yes" have some sort of ego problem here.
If you want proof, here are some of the people who voted "Yes".

Now, try to tell me their opinion isn't biased.
The post counts aren't going anywhere, people. If you don't want people to judge you - tough, that's life. You might as well hide in a shelter for the rest of your life if you are afraid of being judged.
If you don't want people to overlook your posts - tough, that's life. People, probably yourselves, are ignored by other people in real life every day.
If you simply do not like the post count feature - tough, stop joining online forums because they all have them and most of the mod team is behind keeping the feature.
