Well should i remove members post counts from their profiles at the side of eahc post, so they are only in your profile?

Maybe that would help the 0 posters from wondering why their post counts dont increase when they post in certain areas

3rd: don't care

*ahem*

+1
I don't care

i want to download the livesets real bad

what exactly does that have to do with this thread

and no i dont care

do not care too

a dont care = yes

As in you dont care if they are in the section, so yes you may as well remove it.

Don't remove it man,, it's very nice to see a lot of people post a lot.

Remove the post counts? I don't think this is a good idea, although I don't mind if you do that anyway :)

if you remove it then our moderators won't have anything to live for any more

ok then yes

Same here.

The posts will still be counted, they only won't be showed next to your posts.

And you really shouldn't worry about our lives

no problem .

3. [X] Remove 0 posters

Sounds like a plan.

yeah

word


and no, shouldnt remove them. post counts are a status symbol. people with high post counts just like touting seniority. gonna let you in on a dirty little secret. when im browsing the forum and i see someone has posted something really stupid + full of typos, i look at post count. if they are a high poster/mod, i politely correct them. if they are a newbie i.e. under 5 posts, i spew a flame.

Hmm.. some of the new people may be intimidated into keeping quiet because of these kinds of comments .. we all have been new here at some point.. so we have to be patient with newcomers

i voted no .. just because i like to know how much posts people have .. but that wouldn't be a problem at all if you remove it.

all part of my sinister plan sandy
i shall edit and explain

EDIT:
to start off, look at my post history, go wayyyyy back. all the way to my very first posts. you will notice something. look at the dates.

when i first joined this forum, i didnt come just for the downloads. i was a little intimidated too by the senior members, but i wanted to join the community, so i kept posting. soon i was a senior member myself. looking down, i see there are to distinct catagorys of people who come to this site.

1. the people who come to leech and remain under 10 posts

2. people that became and are becomming the forum regulars and posted a lot.

if fly deletes all the people from my first group, who stay for more than 6 months without posting, we will just be one happy little boat in the ocean, wont we be?

lol! strange reply about livesets there!

I really don't mind either whether the posts counts are viewable by everyone or not, its up to you Fly!

there isnt much point deleting members:

one: it reduces the number we can reach by doing bulk emails
two: it doesnt create much of a difference on the database size. You have 200 pms does

So not much point deleting them, plus it can be risky, and can lead to senior members disappearing, like last time

Dont care really as long as this board is happy Im happy

regardless of that, at least they took the time to read a topic, that would have to classified as participation, rather than to just post whenever they leech. wheh i started i didnt know n e one, but i got involved and i guess.... not really worked my way up, cuz im still the same, but i know more people like Peg.. who happens to be the biggest horn dog.. and Abdul.. who is like the biggest republican who dresses like a greaser j/k . its like your meeting a new group and trying to fit in, i guess voting no would try to make everyone equal in this trance "society" and its never equal. you always start off @ zero and work your way up. so i guess i voted no

13/13 and I voted NO so now its 13/14

I think its a good idea to see who is a newbie and who is more of a senior
I also think u get more tolerant if u see a newbie post a classic question (and that person has 0 or 1 post) something like that

but still I think its too cluttered in the info column.. Ive said that before in another thread.. so I won't go over it again

wow thats an old topic... well i dont care..

But you'll see it by looking at member's group name.

i like my additions though

Plus it would still show users activity rates, so you could tell from that

true to both of you

I simply state my opinions like I do everywhere else. I notice I can't influence anyone in this particular question anyways

Fly, ye I know u do! u told me last time

PeterM like Peter McCowan ?

dont care much

i don't really think it matters. For those who think it's a competition to post
the most then yes it does, so in that case........KEEP PLEASE!

will be removing them now

and its gone its still in the profile though

ahhhhhh i see you can also remove the posts per day then

thats staying

Honestly either way is ok with me but I voted no.

oh no, us moderators won't be able to see that we have more posts than everyone else! what are we gonna do... arhhhhhhhhh...there's nothign to live for anymore



if you're THAT oblivious to it, yes i am being sarcastic

+1

dont care is no use to me, which is why i never include it

then i will say no !

I see that you already did..

anyway, I voted yes since I do not care too much. also I know to some extent who is an active member or not and who is a newbie...

however, newbies wouldn't know which members are active..if they are curious

post per day number shows activity level

i worry about yours though baby

nice said, +1

as i see counters are removed already... but i think we should see number of posts...

but it's not very important to me in fact

But by seeing it and the date of join you can still count user's number of posts

what is the use of seeing only the post per day,, and not the total post?
it's important for me.

ah well it doesn't matter to me they are removed anyway now so....
