Just wondering, but why keep count of how many post a member writes?
Honestly it makes other members look at you differently, a great idea can come from a member who has 2 post just as easly as a member who has 1191 for instence. And besides, i like to talk about all kinds of idea's. Does that make me a "post whore"? That term kinda offends me a little, but not to much. I'm interested in how/what other members feel about keeping count of post? |

You get an avatar upgrade with an increased post count round here and the general idea is a high post count indicates that someone has been around long enough to have at least absorbed a fair bit of information on the relevant topics.
Anyone who posts for the numbers should be shot.
W00t! +1 postcount!!1!!!1! 
*BANG*! |

| Not a poll, interested in what others think about it. A high count can get you called a "post whore". Post whoreing vs discussing a topic, how can you determen the differance? |

Post length usually.
A post saying "WOW! Sweet cannon dude!" is less beneficial to the community than a decent critical response and could be called blatant spam.
However the person who made the cannon will still appreciate the positive response on their work and there tends to be a correlation of better cannons attracting proportionally more of those.
Something which is of negligible benefit while not being crap enough for a mod to delete is what I'd class as post whoring. Something like "Yeah I agree". |

| Post whoring is usually as Hotwired described; like when someone asks a question, and some noob or other says something like, "I don't know," or "Ask someone else, I''m not sure." |

It's simple.
It's built into any forum software you can find because people like to know how much they post lol. |

| I don't mind it. I think people mostly look at the stars though... The stars come from post count anyways. |

You think your bad? I've been here for just over 6months and I.....well......Im top poster 
But I don't care if I get called post whore because I average 7 a day, It just means im interested in this hobby, I like spudfiles, I like discussing these things with all the members here, I like the atmosphere, I like the flaming, the ass-clowns and most of all I like spudguns!  |
