Lots of people here are fond of saying they pay no attention to post count or how long a member has been here. They just look at what that member is saying. That's a fool's errand. Post count matters because it indicates participation. So does how long a person has been registered...although that is not as solid since there are some very embedded trolls. If somebody disagrees with me, just look at the last few days during the election. We've seen new members, long-time members with a few posts, etc. When you have a big post count, people know where you're coming from. When you say "go Biden" they know whether you're being serious or sarcastic. They have a good idea whether you're real or a sock puppet. They know who is trolling and who is serious. Nothing against new, legit members. Some will have some good stuff to say. Participation matters though, whether it be for the good or the bad. I'm posting this because I've never seen anybody defend post count as a measure. People just run it down. Well here it is and there it is boys.

That depends on where, what & when the post counts are. Lots of guys post mostly in the hunting & shooting threads. Others are only in the classifieds. You for an example I valued you thoughts on the "Judge" in the handgun section. Guys who post only on the campfire & nothing but politics--------not so much.

I want to make fun of you, but I dont even know wtf your whining about lol... post count for what, to validate that persons point? To participate in the forum (the obvious why that wouldnt work).... Are you that uncomfy with opposing views? Sounds like a commie to me!!

There are guys that post mainly here on the main board who know a lot more than me about politics and other general topics. Much is to be gained here by guys whose post count mainly consists of posting here.
Thanks for your compliment. When I came here many years ago, I thought I knew a lot about guns...and I did compared to most in this locale. I was quickly humbled though, by the vast knowledge of guns that far exceeded my own, on display here every day.
Recommendations and advice on the general board here is more problematic, but not useless. Post count matters.

i don’t post on other sub forums, I really don’t need advice or seek know-how on any matters.
I’m squared away on reloading, killing critters, cutting them up and grilling them and I have a bud that fixes all my broke guns

Post count matters. So does the Joined date. Both speak volumes about the pedigree of the local trolls.

When I see some names on a reply, I have a fair idea of what to expect.

I think post count is the most important measure for giving weight to the validity of a member's comments.

If a member post good ideas on the sub forums, like my friend Ironbender, it lends credence to me.
