(I posted this in chit chat, but I thought it would fit better here.)
I have been noticing in a lot of threads lately that people have been accused of posting a lot just to rack up their post counts. Whether that is true of these people or not, it has started many arguments on the board that I don't think need to be here. I know it might not be a big thing, but could it be that we don't really need to have post counts?
I am just suggesting that post counts should not be shown below our avitars. I could be wrong, but I just want to know what everyone else thinks. Many people have defended themselves saying that they don't care about them, or have even noticed them when these arguments come up. So mabey no one would mind if they were taken away?
I just thought this might be something to discuss here. I think that by not showing the post counts, these arguments won't come up. Although they are a kinda fun thing to have sometimes, I just dont think they are all that important. Some say that people use their post counts to indicate their senority over people on these boards, and I don't think that they should be used that way.
I know some of you have a very high post count, and may not want your counts taken away.
Mabey if each user could still see their own post counts, but it would be hidden from other members?
Any thoughts?
