Suggestion: Hide post counts

Well, my suggestion is that MentaL should hide the post counts to avoid criticism like he did with the join date. Keep it in the profile, but hide it when you post. Most people think when they look at a thread made by someone with a low post count; "Ohh that person is such a noob. His post count is too low. He should fuck off because he doesn't know anything.". I would rather have the post count hidden and the join date shown, if not both hidden. Post your opinions and vote.

It would be better if people didn't do it, but they do.
So for the sake of keeping the board less cluttered with completely useless flaming spam, I do think this is a good idea.

Sure it might help a mod determin if the user knows should know the rules or not. But that's a weak excuse. In all honesty. SHouldn't every member follow the rules? And not just people with high post counts or low. They all should be governed equally and not based on their post counts. And futher more it's the job of the mod to know who posts in their section and what they post. IF they can't do that without knowing their posts then they are not a good mod.

Also with what Beckeh said. Sure it shows who has been around here and stuck. But look at the fact anyways that most of thoes people are in speical user groups. Now isn't that enough to tell us that they are some how part of the community? Futehrmore it would be a better estimate if they just brought back the join date. SO you can know how long they have been here for and not just an estimate from post counts. Look at people like Sol and Neo. They have been here a hell of a lot longer then me but they have less then half the posts that I have. So that appears that I've been here 2x as long as them. Kind of a wrong judgement.

Also Kaoii I think it's the opposite on how higher posters are treated. Either they or a mod, used to be a mod or friend of a mod. And there for they are treated more lightly. Now if you are unknown and know no one and do something wrong. A mod wont let that slide and nail them for every wrong mistake. Don't aruge with me on that. I've known you to do it many times. I've known Ex to do it many times. I've known my self to do it many times. I've know that most of the bloody mods has done it. Simply because they know it doesn't it matter what happens to them as it doesn't effect the community so they do it to have the fun of being and evil dictator. That's how mods are. I've seen many of the Oranges spamming and flamming but never get in trouble where as normal users are banned on spot. So what you say is really the opposite of what happens. ;)

And RsX don't you remember when you was a Mu noob you used to suck up to people with more posts then you? I remember you used to suck up to me because I had more posts event though I wasn't a mod. =P So yes people do judge people differently based on posts.

And Rishwin you need to stop flamming randomly. It's getting old. -.-

NoPeace - out

I agree!

Also agree.

Neither matter, really.
Reputation is what keeps you from being mistaken as a common noob, not your join date or post count, since neither of them really mean much of anything.

voted yes :).

Heres an example. Someone from the MU Online section is very respected and posts great programs. That person could come to the outerworld, post one thing that no one cares about and would get called a "noob" because his post count is low. If the post counts were hidden, people would start reading the post instead of the post count of the person that posted it.

If people aren't there to let the people who are new to the outerworld know that the stupid shit they post is uncared for, then they'll keep posting it.
You have to call them noobs so they can learn better.

Do you call people "noobs" in real life to get them to learn? No. You explain to them, then they learn. If you do call people "noobs" in real life, then you got a problem that needs to be checked out.

thats a stupid example.
how would you become respected if you have no posts? even if it not in the outerworld, you still need to make posts.

i voted no because only stupid people call low post count people noobs.

Hmmm... how to become respected... maybe with your work and usefull posts?

Although post count can be important in determining how accurate and or reliable a person's information is, It's like, who has the bigger e-penis.

It's all about ego really.

It's quality, not quantity, people.

I voted yes personally. People do indeed descriminate against others sometimes merely because of their quantity of posts they have.

I voted no, simply because of the same reason Rishwin posted + I like seeing my own and everyone else's post count =P

But that's a insignificant reason since post counts are meaningless. You can also view the post counts in peoples profiles.

yes because I like being able to see the post count but other than thatit doesn,t change anything ^_^

If he likes to see other peoples' post counts and you cut him down for it, then turn around and argue about discrimination, you are a hypocrite.

i have more post's then u ner ner ner! lol

i voted no because i mostly only make fun of people for the stupid shit they post not their lack of posts, and i like knowing how many posts everyone has without going through all their profiles

Well someone can have 10 "top-quality" posts and still get discriminated against because their post count is 10. I know I did, and thats the reason I posted this thread. Getting discriminated against because of my post count made me want to leave rz and/or flame whoever did it. They always said the same things; "stfu n00b you don't know anything". After my post count was higher though, people started actually reading my post and not my post count. The discrimination stopped around 200 or so posts.

Once again, you can make 10 "high-quality" posts and become very respected because of those posts. If they are all in the same section, people that don't go to the section you post in will call you a "noob" because they haven't seen your 10 posts.

Can you tell exactly why you like to see other peoples' post count? Yeah of course it shows how active they are, but just because they have a lot of posts doesn't mean they post good. I can name two people off the top of my head that used to spam the forums like hell. It was only after they started posting interesting posts that they earned my respect. Not going to name them though; you should know who they are.

But yet, if you don't have a high post count you arent respected by most of the members. Even if they deny this claim, its true, and most of you know its true.

Disagree. In KalOnline section, those who have low post counts are actually noobs. Don't believe me? Check there. -.-

Post counts also help moderators know who is experienced and grounded in the rules of the forum, which can help us decide on who should or should not receive infractions.

I doubt getting rid of post counts would make much of a difference one way or another. Most people know the "regulars" and then of course theres the special colored groups that would still stick out, many of them being regulars in some regard anyway.

There are clearly some spammers on here that care about their post counts but honestly most stop at 1k posts anyway. Those in the top 100 or so are predominantly the main members of this forum for the past 2-3 years. So the post count, in that sense, DOES show "dedicated members of ragezone", at least in the grand scheme of things since this particular forum was opened, and I think that should be rewarded in some way (although cool colored names do that to a point I suppose).

Spamming raises your post count. Are you saying that because people spam, that helps keep them from getting infractions? I honestly see no way at all how a person's post count can help keep them from getting infracted. If they break the rules, infract them.

You see, thats yet another way people judge someone by their post count. If they have 8,000 posts, you think they know all the rules, or wont infract them because they are "popular" due to their post count.

Completely agree, but I still think people shouldn't be "popular" or "unpopular" because of their post counts.

Post counts didn't influence my modding, though I will say those with low post counts typically made the most ridiculous threads/posts in the server help sections (etc.) (particularly Mu).

Those with higher post counts were typically established members in either one section or many sections and in most cases I could instantly tell that by the quality of their post as well as their post count :P

Wellll the thing about that is, the way someone 9.99999 times outta 10 gets popular is by getting attention. On a forum, whats the best way of doing that? Posting! :P Yes, some have achieved fame by doing something like writing code for a game, or sleeping with Mental :wink_5:....

But the best way to be popular is to post, and what do you know, those that are popular on here post! The two almost always work hand in hand.

It's like, if a guy you never met tried to give you advice, you'd be like... Umm, shut up please sir. If it was your best friend for years, you'd give him a good listen! :P

Not jumping to conclusions; I know exactly what you're saying. I've been here for a year and a half and I've never really read over all the rules. All I do is show some online maturity and im fine. What im saying is, just because your post count is "high" doesn't mean you've read the rules. Look at this page for example.. That is mindless spam, which in the rules says not to do, but people found it funny because it was posted by someone popular/that has a high post count.

What I said is that people with higher post counts are treated more harshly when they break the rules (because they are expected to have known them to have lasted that long with such a high post count) than people with lesser post counts.

I just like seeing it, the feature itself. Nothing more, nothing less. It's a nice addition to the forum imo. I dont judge people based on post count. You should also consider that some people dont check the postcount, but remembers if you have been an active member uptil now. A postcount could say how active you've been, but it could also be the number of times that person has seen the other person post that could make the difference. I hope you understand what Im getting at.

Since when did members start judging others based on their post count?

spoken like a true "noob".
the reason you were treated like that was because you really were a noob. your posts were stupid, and you were just like the mu noobs we flame today. its true. and you know what? same thing with me. along with over 1/2 of RZ.

i look back on my first posts and think "wtf man? go die noob!". you weren't discriminated against because of your post count, it really was the quality of your posts which were lacking.

Wow, you're right lol. Damn my old posts make me look like a moron.

I want to show my post count! Man I've worked hard getting this post count and I want to keep it, know how hard it is to spam? Hehe...

But for real, doesnt matter. If they can switch posts to join date I'd be happy.

Why hide it? im glad to say i got 190+ post, i vote no.

Lol, nice. Everything that could possibly ever needed to be said about this, you just said it. This says it all people and I agree fully.

Still, let's take a look at the entire basis of this argument - discrimination. Those who voted yes believe that people with higher post counts discriminate against people with lower post counts. If you do not like this or do not like seeing post counts by a users' name, you should not be on internet forums in the first place. I'll stop at that.

Nothing said will change my opinion that post counts should remain.

purr :whip:

err I didnt got "famous" for sleeping with Mental ;) coff Sipher Coff did ;) :P

if it was a girl giving me i would hear her ;) now if it was a guy it would be diferent

now on topic , Post doesnt mean shit , but on another hand i do believe that Mods , Smods should have 0 post counter ( If they're on that group the post counter would be disabled , when they were removed from that group , post counter would be back )

Ofc if i was like Nopeace i would had like 10k posts ( At least 25% of his posts were deleted due to me pissing his head )

But There are a LOT of Members ( specially from 2004- early 2005 ) and well a few 2003 that rarely post but they have a lot of knowledge , main problem is that kids from 2006 ( and later 2005 ) like to go by Post counter instead of reading what the Poster wrote or ignore his help

Thinking a bit more into this, I rather MORE features be added to the forum than asking for pretty common ones to be taken away :wink_5:

Then again, without a website, what could really be added to a forum?

That belief makes sense, but if you look at the top 100, if not top 200 posters, the grand majority of them ARE the mods, ex-mods, legends, vips, etc... from 2003, 2004... Sure, some are newer types, but remember, no one liked to be called a newbie in 2004, or 2005; those same guys should remember that today before they chastise the new guy.

I do agree that posts do not make a person, and take it away for all I care (said that before haven't I :PP), but like I said, top 1-200 posters are filled with what we have called legends, mods, well known people.. etc..

I don't think it's going to make much difference, all it's going to do is make people go to their profile, nothing more.

What next to take away, everyone's colours because that too discrimates everyone and oh the avatar in some way makes people discrimates. Even name discrimates because people only talk to the people they know. You know what might as well hide everything and make people click more links to get the information.

Really now, grow up and leave everything alone -.-

I agree with you, Should hide the post counts to stop critism.

Strange, you would of thought that "hobbit" account wouldn't of been banned then eh?

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.

WHAT? People with high post counts help people more? There are some people here with <100 post counts that help alot, they just post to help.

And that's a stupid theory, I don't help people. :juggle:

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.

maybe we should remove names too and all be anonymous.

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 &#172;_&#172;

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*

WHAT BLOODY PROBLEM IS THERE THO!!!

Jeez, keep em, if you wanna rip on someone due to there post count then you can just classify them as a gay, problem sorted.

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&#37; 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.
