Post count

pohG · 01-06-2008, 07:07 PM

I see this forums doesn't show post count of any member, may I ask why? I think it's better if the post count function is activated. It'd be more fun.

They're gone because they encouraged spamming. / No.

You can see how many posts you have made by going into your profile and clicking "Find all posts by [user]" if it's especially important to you. Posts counts are often not indicative of a user's true number of posts, however, thanks to pruning that was done years ago.

Because then you get members who...
A. Judge people on postcount (I've seen it on other fora's)
B. Only care about raising their post count

As long as you registered after 2003 it's pretty accurate.

I was thinking a fair number of people from 2003-back are still active, but I suppose these days, that's not really so accurate.

So here members have to judge people by join date instead.

yeah but you have to click their profiles to see that 8) can't just decide right from the threads.

Post counts were shown in the profile exclusively before they were taken away entirely.
