Post Counts -- Off Topic

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I have made it so post counts do not increase when you post something in the off-topic forum.

Does this also mean that some of us may see our post counts drop from where they were yesterday?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

No. It only happens from here on out.

Meanwhile, the overall post count for the site continues to climb even though individual post counts do not climb higher when someone posts in OT. Makes sense.

So then it does me no good to post in the off topic forums anymore so I will quit reading them

j/k

I hate when people have 10,000 posts and don't know what they are talking about. I think that post count should be hidden but the rank should be visible. I don't see the purpose to seeing a post count and being knowledgeable does not mean a high post count and vice versa either.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

That's true. Post count is most certainly not an indication of knowledge. In fact, I knew a guy with 100,000 posts on a forum I used to frequent. He was a windbag.

Its not something I have ever kept up with. Like if you were to ask what mine is, I would have to look. And I would be surprised. Wow! 600 something. See? Hide em as far as I care.

I do think its pretty cool how you can disable them in a certain forum. The ability to tweak and fine-tune this software never ceases to amaze me!

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Yeah. It's a pretty robust.

I vote for hiding of post counts.
