Opinions on Posting in General Forum Doesn't Add To Your Post Count.

[Guest Brinnie]

And How Does Thart Make You Feel?

 

As a n00b, it's kinda weird, cos it's liek putting unwanted pressure on me to post in other forums. But that's just me.

Hey, if you don't have anything to say in the science part, then don't expect to be recognized for it.

[Lance]

All I have to say is: hahaha.

sorry.... if ya don't like it maybe it's the wrong kinda place, or at least it is very different from the one you linked to in your profile.

this is primaraly a science site. the general discussions section is here so that we can post things of a non-sciency nature, inbetween posting on the main fora; i dont think that the intention was to create a general discussion site with a few coinsidental science areas.

 

ie, the main interest should be the scientifical fora anyway, and general discussions should be considered a bonus area, thus not putting any 'pressure' as such on us to post in the main fora.

 

having said that, iv always been curiouse as to what the actual point of the post count is?

[5614]

what the actual point of the post count is?

 

Take Brinnie for example, she (I assume they're a she!) could be a long term user wondering about the GD post count thing or it could be a new person wanting lots of post in their post count.... judging by the fact they have 0 posts, I'm guessing.....

 

It's just useful for a second glance to see if the person posting is a true member (like if they're staying) or just someone popping in for a few posts, (although everyone has to start somewhere)....

If you graphed the relation of post count to coolness it would look somthing like this:

[Dak]

oh. right. well, thanx for the info.

 

weeee, i can only improve, whereas its all downhill for you now

No, you don't understand. The graph is dynamic. The vertex of the parabola corresponds to my post count.

[Dak]

you know, i suspected it might...

[atinymonkey]

Novel thread. Full of pink and graphs. A bit like communism.

 

Probably.

Now this brings up an interesting point.

 

By saying that, you recognize the "post" as a scientific credit.

i think its perfect the way it is. specifically for the reason you gave in the poll.

actually, thats demonstratably not true

Which "post" would that be?

[Callipygous]

hmmmm. point taken. i suppose it actually just encourages the mindless postwhoring to spread out into other forums to raise their post count, doesnt it?

We have ways of dealing with that.

hahaha

 

i just noticed... 15 votes, 12 voters... wow.

[Dak]

is this where your headed, by the way?

[Lance]

She used our equations! I'm flattered:

oh wow! i feel we've somehow contributed to the world. our formula is out there being used

 

although if it becomes known as the 'brinnie equasion' im gonna be pissed...

I'm glad she doesn't get a custom user-title here.

Which is just a waste of their time, because for the most part spam in science threads lasts about an hour.

[Hellbender]

Its a good idea. I have been a member of other forums that didn't use vBulletin, so there was no post count, and you really didn't know who the "serious" members were. Post count ranking, and the fact that the only way to get a high rank on a science forum is to talk about science makes perfect sense.
