    Post counts help spot the free advertisment muppets who make fake posts about how great company x is and how we should all use them.

    I think post count and post average should be gotten rid of as well. Date joined should be enough if your going on the theory that some people's opinions are worth more than others because they're on boards longer. The date joined would also help you spot people who are only one to advertise tbh.

    As for substr, who's up for betting on how long it'll be before he/she is banned for constantly spamming the :rolleyes: and generally acting a bit of a prat. I'm only going on this thread by the way, haven't seen him post anywhere else, so don't give me crap about how my opinion is wrong, it may well be.

    Yeah true. And if ur buying off someone in the FS forum you might have more confidance if the seller has a greater post count.

    i've decided that going on this thread is enough to go by considering about 20% of his/her/it's total posts are on this thread and that we have a representative sample, i reckon he/she/it should be banned now now i tell ya muhhhhhhhhaaaaaa.

    Stop double posting substr, you CAN edit your post if you need to add something that badly.

    What if someone had registerd about 2 years ago but only posted about 10 times?

    I consider this to be the best plan of action it will work for everyone.

    That's not relevant to the aims of the file sharing forum. And that's one pointless post too many on here.

    Could have sworn that Victor had a postcount of 1 earlier today ...

    Yeah that registration time thing is a great indication :rolleyes:
    If you look up the numbers of posts there are loads of people who have NEVER posted - but date would indicate they are in the old boys club.

    You could have customisation of stuff displayed - turn off count/avatars as you wish

    I think they shiould stay. That combined with reg date can give you a reasonable guage of someone's time in the conmmunity, and how much they are contributing.

    Hasnt this been discussed to death a few times before?

    The system as it is works as a rough gauge in general. Just because a single user causes a stir for 5 minutes is hardly reason to change it.

    Anyway, without post counts how is anyone supposed to form evil cliques and bully people? jesus man, think.

    I expected everyone to agree on leaving the post counts but making it so that you have to click on the profile to get them - It is what makes the most sence Everyone will be happy.

    Does it really matter?
    Really?

    It hardly made people view my posts in a better light.
    I say Reg date is the most important, followed by total posts then post count.
    But then again.
    Who really cares?

    tbh rename posts per day "sadness rating" and make it a percent, with 10 being 100% :) its not helpful in the least....but it'd be fun for a while :D

    On the matter of post counts why is it that some MODs have post counts of 0?
