Just curious....

sophiamarie — Sat, 11 Oct 2014 05:11:17 GMT

Why are so many people obsessed with their post count???? It seems like the more they have, the more they want and it's like a contest.

If I had 50,000 posts, I think I would want them erased back to zero.

I don't even know my count. Guess I'll look to see.

I don't even pay attention to that.

I have no idea why that is an issue on this forum.

The only time I notice a post count is when it's in a very low number (typically "1") and the poster is writing a detailed complaint about QVC, either under the Q Did What, or under Suggestions. Beyond that, I've never even paid attention to my own count, let alone others.

I do pay attention to new nics with low post counts. It seems like there are those that sign up practically every day with a new nic just to start trouble.

If you think about it, if you take each tally as only one minute spent, someone who's got their count into the thousands has spent a great deal of their life here.

I think that's why a lot of us started noticing them. I really hadn't thought about them before then someone posted a scale of who was top poster for the week or day or month or something and we had fun making fun of that one time.

I don't think most posters are concerned with their post count but the post count of others.

Doncha' know: High post count=no life, here 24/7; cited as a pejorative. Low post count=troll, alternate nic or if one is really lucky a newbie; cited as pejorative or a welcome.

Yes exactly.

I never look at my post count. I don't care. That said, I don't know why the boards even have it. It is only used to insult people whichever way.

'Morning Marp and Scottie. (eta: I hope you, evelomaddict, and others, saw my apology. I see the thread is now gone.)

I agree, most posters aren't concerned with their own post count. After all, if someone participates in the Gamers threads the number can shoot up rapidly with single-word posts, so I don't understand the concern with a large count.

If someone seems to be going after another person, starting lots of new threads (especially the ones trashing QVC-related products, services, hosts, or repeatedly introducing other hot-button topics), or bombing otherwise good discussions with inflammatory comments ... yes, I do notice if the registration date is recent and the post count is low.

Good morning dooB. Hope you are feeling much better today. Wish I could do more than send cyberhugs and good thoughts.

(((Marp))) Thanks. I am, except that I feel bad thinking many who were on that thread didn't see my apology. I messed up a perfectly fine discussion, and that was wrong of me to do. I would post it in a new thread, but I know how those shout-outs usually go.

Sorry for the O/T, sophiamarie.

Hey, dooBdoo, we've all gotten that T-shirt!

Who is obsessed with their own post count? I have not seen anyone who is.

I have more important things to worry about. Just being honest
