A post count under about 50ish can sometimes mean the difference when deciding whether or not someone is trolling, although that standard has its flaws as well.
Beyond that, nothing.

Generally if someone says something stupid and they have a low post count I may just ignore them. If they have a higher count and should know better I might call them out on it. Also useful for spotting trolls and spam-bots.
Generally I don't refer to it often. I have been here for a while now and my count isn't high so I realise you don't need to have posted crazy amounts to be a part of the community.

I think above 1000 and I'm likely to recognise that person from around, and pay a little more attention to them on threads pertaining to the Escapist. When it comes to opinion on anything non-Escapist related, it means no more to me really. Some of the best posts I've ever seen have been from 200-something posters.
That being said, I'm hoping I can get my 1000 soon, as I've been slowly ramping up my presence here, and it'd be nice to have some numbers to show that.

Ha-ha! This thread I'd another chance to add to my all-important post count!
It means little to me, really. Sometimes I'm about to post in a thread and realise it reaches the most pointless something can be on the Internet. Y'see in this case I got to make a little joke and less importantly, express an opinion so:
Yay.

Idle milestones for random things, though most of them are only milestones for silly buggers, badges, and pretend self importance.
If it's formatted in inches, centimetres, millimetres, or anything bigger, then I'd like you to know I DO NOT WANT.ThePenguinKnight said:
Well ever since I went past 3000 posts I've felt like more of a regular around these parts. I don't make inflammatory posts, I don't have a distinctive name/avatar. I'm just sorta......there.....in the back........

That when people have alot of posts over a short period they talk alot of nonsense. And anyone who even comments on their post count getting to any number like it was an amazing thing I feel bad for them, not angry as I am prone to, just saddened for them.
Then you are an excellent judge of character. And avatar. But mostly character. Because I'm totally as awesome as my avatar would imply, though I have never dodged bullets in my life. Or killed someone. And I'm not particularly good around blood. Maybe that method doesn't work that well.Carbonyl said:
Not a lot, though I will say I often wonder if people find it odd that someone who has been here for nearly three years (I.E. myself) only has around 650 posts?
For me it's a way of showing both how long you've been here (in most cases) and how active you are in the community. Generally those who have been here a while have large post counts which tend to increase at a relatively fast rate, whereas those who are new to the Escapist tend to be a bit sheepish for the first month or three before really becoming an active part of the community.
I'm going to go cry insecurely now.I enjoy it, especially seeing someone like a titanic amount. It's kind of like seeing a commanding officer, you know they've been there a long time and are probably respected around the community.
Though I usually don't recognize users by it. Though, I'll be a bit surprised if a user has a large amount of posts and I haven't recognized them before. I usually count it to them having changed their Avatar or not usually posting where I lurk/haunt.
