IWC: No Post Counts
Im not sure if everyone will agree with me on this one, but i think we should get rid of Post counts altogether, and just have the mods add ranks to people when they think that the person has helped someone, and make it so only mods can see what regular peoples ranks are, and not everyone. That way only mods can see what kind of a person someone really is, and everyone wont argue or anythign either, because noone will know what their rank is unless their a moderator.

Re: IWC: No Post Counts
I don't agree with that, but a kudos or point system would be cool. When you register you are given say 10 points and for every reply you make you get 1 point and for every thread you start you get 2. Also other people can donate points to you if say you helped them out or you made a really good point about somthing.

Re: IWC: No Post Counts
I disagree as well. Giving ranks to people will make some people feel left out and then they will complain that they deserve a higher rank than what they do have, and those with the higher rank will think they are better than those with the lower rank, and pretty much it would just cause problems.

Re: IWC: No Post Counts
Agree I most certainly do
not. Sorry, but postcounts are the most efficient display of seniority there is. Sad huh? Oh wait, I didn't get to 8000 to put up with this

Re: IWC: No Post Counts
Post counts are crap. Look through the last 100 posts of just about anyone. It will quickly become evident that many of the posts are just a smiley, or maybe 3 or 4 words.
However, Postcounts do indicate how much time the average person spends here. I refuse as a personal guideline to post only a smiley, but a lot of the guys you see with 2000+ posts have earned their way here, and the post count DOES mean something to them. I have seen n00bs with 800 posts in the first month, and I have seen Mods with 500 in a year. Judge by the content. It takes 5 minute of reading post histories to see who a 'tard is and who contributes.

Re: IWC: No Post Counts
think of it this way... look at the post count, and when the member joined. that way you can tell their activity, and whether or not they post-whore, or are rather inactive (no offense meant to anyone). also, if you ask them a specific question directly, it can be a measure of how likely they will respond.
