Suggestion - Post Counts

Yes, this was exactly what I was thinking as well.

I mean, if I just wanted to read lots and lots and lots of posts, I'd go over to ES. Their board is much bigger.

But I'm here because the quality of the discussion is much better. I think the people here, on the whole, are smarter and are much better at expressing quality thoughts. As the board grows due to it's success, invariably we'll get a lot of noobs, and the more noobs, the greater the likelihood of seeing useless posts.

In no way would I want to discourage new members from posting. I'd just like to take away any incentive to run up a post count.

Who knows what impact this will have, but it may be worth a try. And I don't think the board loses anything by taking away the post counts - just can't figure out what purpose it serves to display them.

Thanks to the Mods for being open minded and considering this idea; it makes me love this place even more to know that Mods want members to take an active interest in improving its online community feel.
