Also, why does it bother you? |

Just a thought... Cheers |

MissyDarlin, who finished third, had a lower post count than 10 other candidates. 4. VPescado (1786 posts); Marathon Man (1819); John C (458); nxs (3212); and RadioMan (510) all came in ahead of Camera Guy, who had 3266 posts. Don't underestimate the intelligence of your fellow F/Ters. They judge posts on their contents, not on their frequency. Gleff 12,293 ozstamps 25,752 MissyDarlin 5964 Cholula 9840 ScottC 30,814 Doc 45,676 Bhatnasx 4182 FewMiles 9608 Kokonutz 7237 Shareholder 17,076 VPescado 1786 Peterophy 3327 Stimpy 8886 Markie 3608 Socrates 4140 Parnel 14,321 Marathon Man 1819 John C 458 nxs - 3212 Radioman 510 CameraGuy 3266 Another than your point #4 which is indeed a most interesting stat (love that bolding!) the top 10 vote-getters had among them at least 4,182 posts per member. reading figures from your table. My guess is the percentage of those posts gained in OMNI from those top 10 vote-getters were maybe a few % - if that. I know in my case it would be more like .001% and not even 1%, and several others in that list of top 10 vote-getters would be the same I think. As spiff points out, any overt post padding Iin OMNI (or anywhere else) seems to be quickly spotted by mods or other users, and action taken. |
May I ask one simple question, why does it bother someone so much that posts count in OMNI?
Are we all that naive to believe someone with a high post count in an internet forum? :confused: Post count numbers can be manually adjusted, someone believing that post counts are relevant to the intelligence and integrity of the individual is sadly mistaken, and his parents should remove his/her myspace.com account :p Please, we know that is not true, just look at the people with high post counts in this thread ;) |

I like the TB decision(s) on this one. Kind of wish the tabling of post count talk motion had passed, but it was unlikely to do so. Good job!
