"It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me"

- Batman

I have wondered this for a while. But wouldn't it be great if when you clicked on someone's profile you got a little fact file about them.

You get how long they have been a member (like we already have), but then you also get counter saying how many posts they have done. Under that a couter saying how many threads they have made (and how many of those became hot topics). Under that a counter saying how many times they have been warned / banned.

I think it could be a cool way of keeping track of your forum history.

What say you?

Only after we ban Bricypoo.

But then people would realize I am just a giant troll.

Cool? Sure.
Necessary? No.
Do I want it? Not entirely.
Do I not want it? No.
Do I have weird logic and speech patterns? Perhaps.

I couldn't see much good coming from it. The post counter would affect the secretive prefix system and most hot topics are simply controversial/argument instigating topics.

The "post count" is no longer being displayed next to user avatars. This has been debated around here for a while and we decided it was more trouble than it was worth. Even though it had no real purpose, many people thought there was a secret rank or reward they could earn if they posted enough so it just resulted in a lot of spam and worthless posts. It's gone forever.



Just a blast from the past in response to post counts. I believe that this is the attitude most employees still have in regards to that.

It'd ruin the title system (a post counter, that is).

Hey you got Lengendary? About time.

OT: I'd actually enjoy this, more for personal preference then to know what your guys's post number.

I to would be agaisnst a post count put next to your avatar (or user name). It would be to much in the open, and would be something people would become too attached to. But my idea (where it only shows under your profile) would stop this, as you would have to go out of your way to see it.
