Post Counts

Post by itsme »

K, I sorta find post counts pointless, in a way. I think that our post counts shouldnt b shown under our names to other members of teenhelp. Y does it really matter who has posted more, as long as were still helping right? I think that maybe our posts should still b counted, but not make it visible to other ppl. And if ur curious to how many posts u have, then just look in ur control panel or something like that. Y do we have them in the first place? Its quality not quantity isnt it?

You're right, but it's nice to be able to see who's active and stuff.

then can't we find another way to show someone is more active then others? or maybe then can show it in the persons profile. If people wanna know that badly to c whos more active then click the persons name and check. its not that hard.

I think admins should be able to give people a rating in stars.

LOL, she was being sarcastic. Maybe we could have some way where members could rate other member's advice? Too hard?

lol i thought so, but then u responded like u knew how she felt......K anyways lol





yeh that would b cool. instead of post counts. but then some ppl might get really low self esteem and such. it motivate them to help in more topics then chit chat, instead of ppl concentrating on a higher post count.

I really wish there was a better way. But when I look at my post count, I do look at it as an achievement. Like I'm about to hit 300, and I'm proud that I am participating so much.

I don't even bother looking at post counts anymore, I don't care how many posts people have or where they get them from.



I base it on the advice I see them giving, and how much they are beginning to annoy me.

i think that's really smart. Considering especially that I'm the 100th place poster, and you have ten times as many posts as me. I used to think only people with no posts didn't like post count, but now I'm not so sure, as I see you four digit guys talking about this.

If you guys don't look at it, then why take it down?



I like seeing who posts and who doesn't.

Post counts are really the only way to show who is active and who is not, we need them.
