Bookmark topic
Any user with more than 500 posts shows up as >500 instead of the exact number. Any reason behind this?

*sigh* i always wondered that too... i've never seen another forum that does that :/ maybe to stop the high posters from err.. showing off there stats? haha that made no logical sense... :/
Maybe a mod can shed some light on the question...

It was apparently put in force to stop some members from 'posting for the sake of upping my post count'. There are quite a few theads lying around if you just search a bit. I remember reading that (before I joined) in the beginning of esato, people just rushed to get their post counts up and in the end, ended up with a lot of trashy posts everywhere.
Oh well, hope that answers it.

Is there any reason in having a post count at all?

firstly, why do number of posts matter? as shown clearly in a few threads lately, people can post any old rubbish in threads but it doesn't add to their credibility, if thats what members are looking for in post count
secondly, why does seeing the exact number over 500 really matter?
lastly, if you really need to, you can see the exact count by clicking the members profile button at the bottom of each of their posts
edit: no, post count doesn't really mean alot

Laffen mentioned once, that its easier him to check a member if it is, the postcount reflects how active a member is. Btw u can check the real postcount of a member at the pm

The post count is a measure of activity, but only so far as posting is considered activity. There are probably quite a few members who read the forums and perhaps message other members, but the post count doesn't reflect such activity nor does it relfect the quality of the posts being counted.
Personally I don't put much stock in the post count; I prefer to look at the actual contents of someone's posts.
