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.

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. {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

I think we're always in the Top 10 over there, Preds! LOl

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.Smile (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.

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

Does my post count make me look fat?
