There probably would be RPerry. Wocus would certainly be a board god by now. :mellow:
Scary thought.

I said it before in this thread and, since nobody replied on it, I say it again:
Any ideas on this? :huh:Quote:
In my opinion disabling post count and the stars would work best, only the date you joined should stay.
Are they really that important? I don't think so.
Like Jetje says: it's the content of your posts that count.
I did say it earlier in this thread, but if there was a poll I would agree to this, definitely.
Sorry bender, but I thought I was replying on it, only just that I don't agree. Not that I disagee with you, but I kind of like the use of the titles and stars.Quote:

I don't like the idea of completely disabling titles and stars and post counts. Most forums have some sort of ranking system, and they usually serve as a bar to judge the quality of one's posts. Joining date doesn't mean much, in my opinion, but seeing how much a member has contributed to the forum does. I remember when I first came here, and someone had asked a similar question to what I was wondering. A few people answered the question, but for whatever reason I, newbie that I was, followed ShareDaddy's advice because he had more stars, thus more contributions/experience. I can't remember what it was now, but I do remember it worked, where the previous newbie/jr. member suggestions hadn't. ;)
Hopefully that makes some sort of sense.
:ninja:
maybe just stars would work best :huh:
cause sometimes n00bs give terrible advice, but it is obvious to follow a board god's advice cause obviously (and hopefully) they are wiser.
Yea... I've seen newbies give advice... it's pretty sad :unsure:Quote:

Some come in with good suggestions but others are one-liners like "what version are you using?" without even a hint of a suggestion...
hey, is it obvious to follow a post-whore's advice? :P
But usually the ones with more posts and stars are usually the ones that know what they're doing... usually... ;)
I also agree to this, it was more or less what I said myself in the "counting posts" thread.Quote:

Maybe I should have read your reply more carefully, sorry. :">
Yes, i agree it should be best to do without the postcounts.Quote:

Quote from MagikNakor:So if a newbie asks something, another "5 posts" newbie gives the correct answer and some Boardgod (like Wocus could be :lol: :lol: ) gives a false answer, who do you think the newbie believes....Quote:

You can't judge a member by his postcount, only by reading a lot of posts. After reading 10 posts of Sharedaddy and 10 of Wocus it's obvious who you should believe :D
Of course there is a chance Wocus is right, but....... :lol: :lol:
