Post Count - Blu-ray Forum

BLUNT · 05-20-2008, 07:53 PM

Why do you have a post count on this site? Seems to be more trouble than its worth. Do you really get any better advice from someone that has posted 1000's of times or more (A jedi, a Guru, or the blu-ray Jesus) than someone that has posted 1-1000 times or less? (An Idiot?)
I mean I have posted about 200 times and know nothing........
Sure is alot of fun though.

Postcount means absolutely nothing in terms of member quality, contribution or knowledge. The "titles" should be amended to reflect this.

Personally, I've always been in favour of ranking systems that use an "organic rating" based on member feedback of each others' contributions, a rating system for posts, if you will. Much as we have +/- votes for member comments to the news articles, we could have a +/- rating system for user thread responses.

This way, every time some jerkface decides that "+1" qualifies as a meaningful post the membership plebiscite can cast their decisions otherwise. In this sort of system the "cream" of the crop will be noted properly, perhaps by a percentage rating. This way, if you have only 10 posts and they are all at Blu-ray Insider knowledge and quality you could conceivably rate a 100%, conversely, you might have a forum regular that does nothing but post "+1" all day and they end up with an appropriate 5% rating for contributing nothing (and wasting air and skin).

Just my thoughts.

I think every VBulletin forum does.

There's only one "Blu-ray Jedi" here.

i always look at post count and trader feedback when making a transaction (also look at the date they joined). Anything past that i usually don't look at their count.

Rumours abound that reaching the plateau of 15,000 posts earns you the legendary title of "Blu-ray Billy Dee Williams."

BruceWayne · 05-22-2008, 06:23 PM

Looks like the post count was just killed off.

QwikSand · 05-22-2008, 06:27 PM

Very good idea. Titles are bogus and misleading as well. Only trader feedback matters for the purpose of trading.

iceman · 05-22-2008, 06:27 PM

We felt that things have gotten out of hand a bit lately and if the +1 stuff continues like this, we will have serious problems in the future when we have 100x members...

So to raise the quality of the posts and the usefulness of the whole forum (it is a Blu-ray forum after all), we have decided to turn off the post count.
