@energetic
Your counter-point is well taken, one 'bad post' can upset someone's standing, but if someone is helping others on a regular basis I would think that would stand them in good staid. I still feel that the post count is divisive, members with low post counts can sometimes feel they are not fully a part of the forum or that they are looked down upon by other members; on the other hand those with high post counts can sometimes become somewhat arrogant in their approach towards those with low post counts. I just feel that we should be looking at ways to make everyone feel more equal.

i dont see how no post count would stop some members been arrogant to others thats probably just how they are and i dont see it making any difference to new members apart from not posting any old thing to get there post count up. Either way i dont really care and most others dont seem to reading this thread

@slattery69
You have completely missed the point, many of us are windbags, myself especially, and simply love to pontificate on subjects which have little relevance to neither man nor beast, that and some of us have a lot of free time to fill. 
@MixiN
I suppose it is quite ironic that most of the people taking part in this discussion are members who have more than five hundred posts, and in some cases quite a substantially more.

@all - Yup! Discussion of the 'old-timers' at esato!
I guess post count should be scrapped-off permanently, and instead just post the date of the member's registration at esato! In any work place, seniority is given high-respect and value . . . by any standard! Also, if the idea will not be taken into consideration by @laffen, @energetic's suggestion of increasing the 500 post mark profile display to say, 2 or 3K ! If that will happen, garbage and all 'made' posts should be 'accounted' as well ! |

@laffen
This entire debate, in essence. rests on your wishes; will there be any change or will things remain as they are?

I think you nicely managed to miss the point, which is..... no 'seniority' which is not based on merits

I just found this thread, and got bored by the second page as I want to make a point, I cannot be bothered to read all of it so if this has already been said then sorry.
I agree that the counter in most part is silly, and I think the whole point is to encourage people to post more as most people deep down do feal better if they have lots of posts, any honest moderator will tell you that.
In the counters defence and it has proved useful many times--
when I see someone selling 10 p900's for a low, low price and they have only one post. I know not to trust them too much. |

@vlammetje - Well I have my own list of senior's (here at esato) that deserves to be given high respects . . . after deliberating it's totality, I guess only a handful fits!
