Title: Dates we joined to be shown
Post by: Godzilla on 04 October 2011, 21:13

I dont know if this has been raised before but I think having the dates we joined under our user name would be good.......Any thoughts on this?

Or an even better idea.

Sack off the post counts. Problem solved.

... because?

where's the rest of the entry? I'm sure it's possible but i don't think its available as an add-on which means scripting it myself.. so you best have a bloody good reason :grin:

A date joined and sacking off post counts would be better. High posts can give the wrong impression.

I think a Points/Thanks system would be cool and be closer to what the OP wants.

People can join a forum 5 years ago and never post anything, if I am looking to buy something on a forum I tend to look at the post count as to me it shows if they are an active member or on the forum in question a lot.

Does nobody else think the same then.

I look to see if they have a green dot under their name to see if they are an active member or not  :tongue:

I look at the post count too, specially given my location i have to be extra cautious when purchasing from other memebers. I think getting rid would be a bad idea.

As Jay said, the idea of points/thanks is a good idea and something i see on other forums a lot.

Keep the special medals, which identify many posts, lose the post count.

That way Wayne would still feel really important.

buying things off a forum based on post counts is not a good arguement always collect off the person selling as has been said before. ive been stung (luckily HM's finest is currently showing this individual the error of his ways) but this is the only way i would do business now.
