Just an idea....

Trust is earned, and should based on the contributions that person gives to this community.
What's next? People wanting to implement some sort of reputation system?
It will never work

In all seriousness, I could care less about post count but content of a person's posts. I know who offers good information and who offers little useful information. I have am able to discern valuable information as I have been on FT for over 1 1/2 years. If a person cannot discern posters that offer good information from those who do not then ask questions regarding a subject, sit back and read the posts that will follow. I have a higher post count and many of those posts are due to Omni. However, I also have many posts on travel related forums as well. How people regard me is their business. All I can try to do is post factual information and assist those needing help. When I have a question, I create a new topic or read a relevant topic. For many of us, Omni allows us a forum to relieve stress. In my case, the stress is caused by business travel and work on the road.
