Supreme member post count - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Deuce · 03-13-2005, 07:16 PM

How about making posts in the supreme forums worth more than the other forums (1 post in supreme = 2 posts in post count, for example)? Could boost subscriptions.

<---cares more about his money than his post count.

Let the the advertisers carry the financial burden...that is why we have them.

P.s.--What is the obsession with post count? I never understood it. BDeuce, perhaps you can explain?

Post count tends to reflect how much more you know (when it comes to newer members). And there is a little bit of seniority in it. Members with higher post counts have usually been here longer, or are very well versed in car knowledge

i think that you should get at least 2 posts for every pic of a hamster you include with your post...

ok i guess that is a little biased to me... but just a little

thats kinda unfair cuz not all of us need supreme.....like me i have no point in being one ...and also.....it just kinda pointless cuz how about u give some one 2 post if the dont have any spelling errors.....its just point less......in my case

***prnc_chrmng*** · 03-14-2005, 04:45 PM

no one really needs to be supreme, its just to help out TN and you get to say your supreme, and even if you got 2 post for the ones without any errors, you still wouldnt get 2 post...

Seniority I can buy...but knowledge? Come on man, you seriously believe that dictates intelligence?

I don't buy it...no way, no how. To me a high post count means:

1) Been here awhile.
2) Found TN before most (see #1)
3) *potentially* employed by TN.
4) Whores it up with comments like "nice car", "

", "

", etc.
5) Whored OT before it went "no count"
6) Has the time to actually type up/share what they know (yes, there are smart people who are very busy).....etc, etc.

I am a bit disappointed in that comment though...but what are you gonna do

"Member since" carries more weight with me...seniority wise.

nice post

If i knew how to implement this B Deuce, I would.

Since at the moment I dont, do you want to name an integer between 1-10000 and i'll just manipulate your post count?

Deuce · 03-15-2005, 12:46 AM

^^if you want to - 2841

do i get a special rank too?

(edit: i'm just kidding)

can you make it so our posts count in OT?

same thing with people with FICOs over 750 trying to get them higher - there's no point except pride.

Nicely said.

I believe in quality of posts, over quantity.

No.

Posts in OT don't count for a number of reasons. I won't go into what they are, but you can thank all the post whores for this.

I'm just making an observation. If you look at the top 30 posters. Almost 95% them all know their shit really well. There are only a few people who got there by whoring. Most of which was done before OT didn't count. So based on that evidence, I still believe in my statement.

BullMarket · 03-15-2005, 08:35 PM

I thought of one more...(that I think contributes to high post count but doesn't indicate a presence of knowledge)

7) Welcome to TN, Welcome to TN, Welcome to TN

I couldn't care less about these people's whoring in the welcome forum but I think people should use some discretion (like, if they see that a person is from their home town, or a particular region drop 'em a welcome...otherwise let someone else do it.)
