Many other internet forums show how many posts a user has made on their account. I think this would be a good feature for the Bungie Forums, to differentiate the frequent veteran posters from the newer ones. The only problem I could see with this is that new users would get picked on just because they just joined. I really don't think it will be added, since Bungie seems to like to keep users equal, judging from the removal of the "Date Joined" from posts, but I still think it would be a good thing to know.

"Veni Vidi Castratavi Illegitimos"
"I came, I saw, I castrated the bastards."

This idea has been brought up time and time again. No. It could cause elitism or at the very least pointless posts to up ones post count.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Bungie.net actually did have a post counter at one point. Unfortunately, people decided to increase their post cost by making tones of stupid posts instead of actually contributing. One thing to remember is, quantity is not quality. Just because a user posts a lot (or even that they have been here a while) doesn't mean that they are really a good member.

True. There are some true veterans that have spewed out some truly stupid ideas in the H3 forum (not naming names), and I don't think people should need anything besides the content of the post to know if it's a good one.

Bungie used to have a post count. It was removed because post counts encourage spam.

It will never happen. Ever.
