Rolexman Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) Due to that stupid ass post counter I already see many people posting [censored] replies. Some people just love that thing so much that they can't stop posting..... For the sake of this forum disable that thing so that quality will prevail over quantity!! Edited March 20, 2006 by Rolexman
jonthebhoy Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 Welcome Rolexman. It was agreed between the team who participated in the move that the post counter would stay for the time being. I agree that the type of posts that you are talking about do exist, but I'm not sure removing the post-counter will completely solve the problem, suffice to say that I don't recognise quality by post numbers alone, however sometimes, eventually, the two do match. JTB
rbj69 Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 hey it is a open watch forum , if they want to post idiotic stuff let them , u dont have to read it, just like i dont lol it is fun to see just how far someone will go though lol
kasigi Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 Yup, I'd already noticed the same thing and I think it's a shame - A person is not their post count
Edge Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 The random post thing will die down soon enough IMHO, it's just cos it's new, once everything settles down a bit all will be well.
jraines87 Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 Some folks are also trying to bring threads from the old site to the new
coolfire Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 Some folks are also trying to bring threads from the old site to the new Which I think is great news... And slowly but surely, all, if not most of the invaluable stuff will be back...

JTB How about a max. number of post per day. All posts above this number are not counted? Mike
Drizznay Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 How about a max. number of post per day. All posts above this number are not counted? Mike Or only posts in replica related areas are counted; though I've been saying that for a while now! @TTK Love the new avatar!

Rolexman Posted March 20, 2006 Author Report Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) I don't recognise quality by post numbers alone, however sometimes, eventually, the two do match. BUUUUUUULSH#T! I had 600 posts over at RWGuide which earned me a little respect from the fellow members. I aggree that much knowledge about reps came along with these posts. Now here on the new forum I already know a lot about reps. That's why I (and many with me) am not going to post very much/ often. The way things are going now all the newbies with the trigger happy post finger earns a false status of wisdom.... Just my 0.02 Edited March 20, 2006 by Rolexman
Josetann Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 Sorry, but posting a thread about a Bullsh*t post counter is only going to get a lot of people to post in your thread to up their post count. Of course, that's not what I'm doing. I am writing an intelligent reply to a very well-thought-out topic. Unfortunately, this is as intelligent as I can get, sorry.
marrickvilleboy Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 for crying out loud guys...its just a internet forum....as much as i like it, it doesnt fulfill anything if my postcount was 2 million.... i'm sure we all know who are the old schoolers are and who has knowledge in replica watches with memory from RWG. so it shouldn't really matter....
Edge Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 Well Said, give that boy a Gold Star....have to settle for first place gold trophy.....
ahchard Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 well, if you are here enough.... you will be able to tell those that post quality (not me) even if their post count is low... anyone could build their post count up... heck... just say hi to every newbie introduction or put a weird looking smiley in a controversial topic or bump an important thread... think I am gonna have to start doing that...
Chronus Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 ayeb there should be a breakdown of posts... for example, Gen. discussion : X Loony bin : Y etc but with no total perhaps? It would also be useful if you could get a list of topics the person has posted in, that may give an idea of how useful the posts are. It's fine havin some banter as well as serious watch talk.
gpuck Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 I don't really give a crap about the post count. Unless someone starts passing out cash for a high post count it doesn't really matter. Pretty silly thing to get all wound up over. Once you have been doing a little research you find out who has something of value to add and who doesn't. Plus I have to give "Big Thumb" props to Joe for his wisdom....."You don't have to read it"!!!! This internet thing works just like that box in the living room they call the Television.....You can change the chanel Peace brothers, Gpuck
