Well?

It's kinda like the ranking system. Kinda.

**Khazad** · January 3rd, 2005, 01:15 PM

how about an option for those of us who really don't care.

Well, that seems dramatic.

I think the post count should be kept, sometimes new members will look at the post count to judge the value of advice given to them, make it so that the post count isnt taken inside the Lounge/Politicos. Thats fine with me.

hehe had to use these new smilies.

How about some ranking system then to take its place?

All of "Techville" would also include TechZ News.

The WOTPP would surely be dead! HeeHee!

Now, the post count is part of any forum, no matter how much of a problem it may cause. To remove it is like taking the cheese out of Grill cheese if you know what I mean. If you want to turn off anything, deleting posts should be turned off.

Save the post count!

**TechZ** · January 3rd, 2005, 01:41 PM

seriously, It wouldnt bother me, exclude all of Techville.

**JaxSon** · January 3rd, 2005, 01:43 PM

I say keep it on.

It's an indication of how active a member is on this forum. It surely isn't an indication of how valuable those posts are tho...

**iceman** · January 3rd, 2005, 02:15 PM

Keep it! Just Do It!

My thought re: post counts is that it aids in seeing where the poster stands in terms of experience and credibility. I'd be more likely to question advice from someone with only 1 or 2 posts. That said, I see no reason to count posts in the lounge or politicos.

Alternatively, you could have an ebay type feedback system.

You could ask questioners to award points to the most suitable answer posted but that would put more not less work on NooNoos sholders.
I say take em down.
