Post Count

[KingLeerUK]

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.
