RE: Dusty and his posting
and if any of you want to see REAL post ****** in action, go to mustangforums.com and look through the OT section. you guys have no idea what post whoring is. we checked to see what the post count would be like if that section counted, and one of the OT ****** there would have over 30,000 posts.

RE: Dusty and his posting
There are a few social forums I post at...there are several members with 10's of thousands of posts...many of which are simple "smilie" posts...post whoring doesn't bother me much, I really don't know why it would bother anyone. Just because someone has lots of posts...doesn't make them "appear" any smarter in my book...just like the people in real life that just enjoy hearing themselves talk.

the biggest concern is that new members may assume that someone with lots of posts has lots of knowledge. i get a ton of tech questions through PM at dodgeforum...and people usually say that they couldnt figure out how to post...(but they figured out how to PM?)...
At MF, we try to keep the ****** off the top ten list, as our top ten posters all get a great deal of PMs with tech questions, and we dont want people who only post in OT trying to answer tech questions. many of them dont have mustangs, and have never been under the hood of whatever they do drive.

True...for some reason people do equate post counts with intelligence...don't know why.
I get lots of PM's at DF as well. While I'll usually answer their questions, I always encourage them to post in the Stealth section too...sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
I'm still all for posts in OT not counting...

Patrick, you're absolutley right, people associate post counts ith intelligence.
Can you really count Dusty as a person with a mechanical comprehension... no.
Davidmitsurock is a smart kid, but kind of a dunce on actual tech stuff imo.
