Should user posts be shown underneath a persons profile picture?

[Guest]

No, just NO. this is a bad idea.

Why?

Why?

 

I think he's saying getting rid of post counts is a bad idea.

Umm you do understand this is a forum right? I dont know of I have ever seen a forum without them. It os also usually a good gauge that someone knows what their talking about it their ppst count is multiple times higher than average in the thread.

[TheProfosist]

I'm not sure if you guys think this is a good idea but some forums like Toms Hardware, users can get badges under their profile pictures that says Audio Expert or Motherboard Expert. They get these if they have a certain amount of post in a particular section. What do you think?

I thought we had those but I dont remeber how they were given out. I wouldnt mind knowing though since I lost my only badge recently *cries a little inside*. Maybe I could get "Knower of Things" or "Vetran Keyboardier"

Honestly, I have not really seen too many people on LinusTechTips post farm...

I have seen people Like farming, but that's about it.

Perhaps a reputation system post would be a better judgement of the credibility of the poster whilst de-couraging 'post whoring' (provided post counts are not displayed).

postcounthuggers are to be found in every forum known to men, I have yet to see a forum that doesn't feed them.

I'd quite like there to be a thing which tells you how many posts in Off Topic people have ade in their history on the Forum, perhaps underneath 'Active Posts' there should be 'Total Posts'

this.

 

 

and i think its a sort of indication of how good ones advice can be.

but with all the badges and stuff i do see why one would not need it. but i think it should stay.

I don't really pay attention to my count that much, but I know there are some on here that will see my post count & be more willing to listen to my advice.

 

while it isn't a 1-1 example of knowledge, it does show that I've seen a lot of the forum, and at least know what I'm talking about.

I dont believe off topic counts.

With the help of greasemonkey I've removed all badges and superfluous images are just eating up valuable monitor realestate, at some point this adding images should just stop and be moved to the profile or have it as a marker in the avatar (like a watermark) otherwise eventually there will be no point for the text in a post, just stamp the users plethora of images to say they were there.... :unsure:

Not having any image other than the avatar helps a boatload (to keep it PG-13) ton!
