Number of Posts

What does it matter how many posts we each make? Hundreds or thousands of posts made playing games in the trivia section are no indication of a poster's knowledgeable input.

Rocky made a very relevant point in that stars were used as a weapon by some to have a go at others and a post count could, and would, be used in exactly the same way.

I think there is a difference between Club Together and other forums. Many forums appreciate long serving members whose post count is usually highlighted in some way. As I mentioned earlier, posts in what we call the Social Room are not counted which suggests someone with a lot of posts  is actually contributing to the well being of the forum. That may be knowledge wise or just giving a welcome to new members but at least it is showing a sort of commitment. Whether, at the end of the day, it makes much difference is of course questionable  however many traditional forums are suffering because of Social Media  and I think most would welcome any input!

on most 'package' forums, when a post is liked, it lists who liked it, saving the hundreds of pointless '+1' posts.....

the poster can see straight away who thought '+1' without having the thread lengthed unnecessarity.....and with only 10 posts a page, this means even more (snail like) paging around a thread.....
