fusi0n Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Post counts are in multiple places, there's even pages for most posts ever, today etc and as I pointed out, it's easy to find if people really need to know. I understand that, but a lot of members, myself included, don't really come here just to help people. I help people when I can, but most of the time I am reading about news, entertainment, ect.. Just seems that Neowin is putting a lot of focus in one bucket and leaving others kinda hanging.. Just my two cents.. I spoke my opinion and I'll let it go.

LimeMaster Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Can the thread starter still select their own posts as Best Answer in a thread? Shh stop telling everyone my secret methods to get best answer. :p In all seriousness I've seen people mark their own post as best answer. :laugh: Draconian Guppy 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1185983-tech-issues-solved-added-in-tech-forums/page/2/#findComment-596078521 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Knight Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 So how do you vote for a Best Answer? Or does it happen automatically based on the number of likes a post receives?

+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted November 5, 2013 Subscriber² Share Posted November 5, 2013 The post count doesn't matter at all as far as I'm concerned. You can have someone with 500 posts giving better technical answers than someone else with 110,000 posts. So yes, good move.

Nick H. Supervisor Posted November 5, 2013 Supervisor Share Posted November 5, 2013 Why not have Best Answers & Post Count? Post Count actually means something for many people. :pinch:I'm intrigued to know what it means to people? I've seen people with a high post count that just post gibberish, and others with an incredibly low post count, but a majority of their replies have been well thought out posts. Do you treat someone with a high post count differently than someone with a low post count? I'm genuinely asking, as I really can't see any benefit to post counts.

Do you treat someone with a high post count differently than someone with a low post count? I'm genuinely asking, as I really can't see any benefit to post counts. To me post count means you actually put in time on the forum. I couldn't care less if you think my posts are gibberish that's all a matter of opinion but when I see high post counts that means to me that they're active and contribute to the forum. And like fusion said this isn't just a tech forum.

Because we're always told Neowin has become more than a tech site, and post count shows you're more involved in the community of Neowin.
