Not entirely sure what problems that would solve TBH but I wouldn't be averse at all to the dropping of post-counts from the mini-profile (ie, what you see at the side of a post - which currently contains posting-ID, avatar, post-count, location and join-date), and them only being visible when you clicked on a poster's full profile.
Never remotely understand this mindset. If you don't like posting on CW (or anywhere), don't post. If you post here for a lengthy spell, it tends to suggest there just might be a teeny bit that's enjoyable about the place and that your time posting has by-and-large been well spent.
I see it more as a case of "if there's next to no chance of it making a difference, why bother doing it?"
You're un-ignore-able these days don't y'know?I gave one a few posts back, have you got me on ignore
Haha, about time
FTR, the official term for that is "postbit".
Incorrect.
I post on here because I don't have anything else to do. Hence, while I might 'enjoy' posting, it's a relative enjoyment. I'd much rather be doing other things, if the chance presented itself. Some of the stuff on here is good, because I'd never get to talk about cricket in that way with others. But a lot of it just suggests I'm wasting my life.
I'm pretty sure that is what happens anyway when you "remove" the post count. That is what has occurred at another forum that I very irregularly use when they did so, anyway.
It's because he hasn't learned to use the multi-quote function
On another forum I used to frequent, you can't see post counts at all, not even in someone's full profile or in the members list.
As I said to Jono, I gave a reason in favour of them staying earlier in the thread.Its interesting how people either want post count removed (I am one of them), or think it doesn't matter either way and yet we are having a debate about it. Should one presume there are those who love to see the number of posts next to their (or others) names but are unwilling to say it unequivocally. I may be completely off here but this subject has taken over this thread which is amazing considering the import of what this thread is supposed to debate and the relative unimportance (so says almost everyone including yours truly) of this bit about number of posts.
Only one person asked a relevant question (he just beat me to it by a couple of minutes :-)) and that is "Can any one tell why removing them is bad?" or words to that effect. I dont think anyone bothered to answer that one seriously. Wonder why?
I think this has been discussed enough for James and his team to be able to take a decision on it. Maybe we should go back to discussing what can be done to really improve what many think is the 'atmosphere problem' at CC.
Personal humble opinion, if you please.
I had edited the post already. And I agree what you say regarding duplicate accounts.
