Post counts are to important.

Hater's gonna hate...

Also I've never seen anyone judge me or others that have low counts, but if someone who happens to post something dumb or questionable have low post counts, then I guess that's just random luck...

I barely look at other people's post count. In fact, if threads get really large like this, I barely even look at other people's posts (past the first page anyway). Then again I don't exactly have a high post count either.

I remember back in my times getting a thousand posts was like a badge of honor.

But these kids these days have posts of twenty thousand. And i just think to myself... This person, with improvement and patience, could write a fucking novel.

But then i go back to almost getting banned because i say "controversial stuff" which gets my angry and then actually want to say "controversial stuff"

I have no idea why i got a "Don't Troll" warning. Everything i said in that post is 100% true.

Maybe the part where i exclaim the person reading (most likely OP) to suck it was unneeded. But regardless. I left high school a year early and enter middle college. AKA going to college for high school and i still got a HS diploma. My parents did drop out of college and high school. And my dad HAS been to singapore.

Argh being passive aggressive when relooking at my warnings.

I have a low post count but have never been looked down upon, maybe I am just one of the lucky ones?

I haven't come across someone who has ignored a person because of their low posts, and if someone did do that I would write them off as an ass hole...and there are plenty over the interweb

So you 2 are saying to only way to be noticed is to be first?
I guess that make's scence it's just i have been reading through a couple of threads today and more time's than i would like people have called others a noob beacuse they have a low post count.
But i guess most people arnt that bad. I wonder how we can fix the few that do?

The only time I ever take someones post count into account is if they have a Neo or Morpheus badge underneith their names. I am currently trying to get the Neo badge because it means you can pretty much voice your opinion in a way that is acceptable here on the Escapist/not being an a-hole while posting your opinion.

 

[strangemoose]

i will only disregard someones opinion if the their post count is low (like 20 or less) AND if their opinion is very harsh but that's because i just assume they are a troll besides that i really don't care

Everyone knows that you judge someone based on their avatar, not their post count, duh.

 

[lacktheknack]

The only things that lower my respect for someone is personal attacks and flogging the English language.

The only time I've seen post count come up has been in Forum Games, for obvious reasons.

 

[lacktheknack]

Everyone knows registration date is your real measure of worth.

*wanders off to ban everyone with less posts then him*

MY MIND IS FILLED WITH SCREW

Well played, Master Kross. Well played.

 

[Blow_Pop]

Pfft... I have quite a respectable post count and even I think I'm a jackass!

But seriously, really? One particular user has only a couple hundred posts to his name and I respect his opinion a lot...

On the other hand a fair few users don't bother posting in coherent English and they have 4/5 figure post counts. Granted some of them make good points but others are right twats, so I'm *meh* at best about them...

Consequently, here is the thread's biggest jerk thus far: *points at self*

yeah but the difference is you ARE a jackass.

My opinion is that if you cannae manage to form a coherent sentence then your opinion is probably not worth that much. I post somewhat infrequently now as opposed to when I first got started on the site. Sometimes I get quoted, sometimes not. But I do it for me. Not for everyone else. It makes me happy to get shite off my chest on certain topics. This one though was more for shits and giggles with me. Post count doesnae matter (even though I'm determined to pass a few certain people's post counts) what matters is the content you put into your posts.

[Random Fella]

That's rubbish.
I read peoples comments depending on where they are in the thread, not how many total posts the user has, hell I hardly ever read the total posts unless it appears in the corner of my eye
Anyway maybe some people do, but with over 2k posts I'm sure I get a good enough acknowledgement
(But you must know posts also count from talking in user groups, someone could have 30k+ posts and never even touched a thread)

 

[guidance]

To be fair, I don't value any ones opinion, high post count or no.

 

[Arakasi]

People occasionally quote me/talk about my opinion on various things.
It's not about count it's about content.

 

[Fitzcaraldo]

In my year here, I've only seen one person insult someone based on their post count. And he got about three people replying to him telling him to shut up. So I don't really see where you're coming from here.

 

[RedDeadFred]

First, I've never heard any news of this before.

Second, post count is TOO important.

 

[Stryc9]

Post count doesn't matter much here unless you're a spambot that posts a bunch of shit topics with links to crappy scam sites that sell shitty products. If you want people to respect your posts make intelligent well thought out posts, it's a simple as that.

Hello Escapist Community i am a little annoyed about the fact that to many people on here dont value your opinion if your post count is to low.
And i dont understand why. I myself dont respect people who dont even have a profile picture yet but it's come to a point where people either get high post counts or fade into the backround with the last topic they posted in beacuse they felt like nobody bothered with them.

So I'm smarter/better because I've posted more? That doesn't make sense.

 

[PatrickXD]

I've never encountered a problem like that. If your post is valuable to the discussion, it will be picked up on, if it isn't then it won't. I for one don't even look at people's post count or avatar etc. in relation to their post, and I'm sure plenty others are the same.

In my experience you're more likely to be ignored for bad, or sub-par grammar or spelling. For example: capitalising "I", using the correct form of to/too/two or there/they're/their, not starting a sentence with the words "and" or "but" (I don't think this one matters to most people), and using paragraphs and commas.
