cags Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Can somebody please put my mind at rest and confirm I'm not loosing my mind. I joined the site about 2 days ago. I swear blind when I joined every single persons avatar/name had a post count next to it. I'm looking around now thinking I imagined the whole thing... Maybe I should ease up on the JD...

zq29 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 You're not imagining it - We removed the post counts from view earlier today. We feel that they add a bias to the way peoples posts are perceived and that some users use them as a gauge of expertise and knowledge, when this obviously isn't the case.

zq29 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 so sad.. 1,000 posts was like a RECOMMENDED tag under our username now we're all assumable noobs That was one of the main reasons is was removed! You could have asked 1000+ questions and not learnt anything, that's why it's misleading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 It's the quality of your post not the quantity... if someone hasn't said that already (in this thread) Hell, I've barely got 2500 and I've been here 5 years and I'm a Mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
