I don’t care, but I wonder if eliminating the count could encourage new members to post, as they wouldn’t feel intimidated about their lack of seniority?
Very good point Rice. 
I think that the post count gives a fair idea of the 'reliability' and 'activity' of a user on the forum.

I don't see it that way at all serafina. More a sign of someone with too much time on their hands. 
I have a high post count on another forum. Most of it is just me posting bullshit.
Hmm - why don’t you tell us the name of that forum, UK Man ? We’ll read your posts and judge that for ourselves! 🥴
It's called Facebook.

But its good quality Bullshit.....

Not according to the Mods....I'm on a final warning.

I know that's a joke UK Man but a tailored forum that requires a lot of work to maintain is hardly the same as a social media platform.
All you guys know that UK Man is quite laid back and relaxed.
On another forum he is constantly suspended and banned for holding opinions that are slightly different from the guys who run the site.
I actually think the only reason for many guys to look at the site is to see what our friend UK Man is saying.

Some of the members of that forum need to come and live here for a while. They'd soon man up.
Now you both make me want to be a fly on the wall of that forum/Facebook.
So, we're in privileged company then, since most of us have been banned from other places and I wear that badge with pride.
Moi aussi, bébé.
As long as it doesn't show how much time I spent on the forum instead of working 
just read this thread the first time......
I know Splinter said several had been banned from the other site......
It's quite funny, since I wonder with what argument......I think it's quite clear that I don't share the political views as a few from here, but I also got banned, or say blocked from responding, (and my posts where harmless, trust me).
What is the other sites angle then? I have hard to look through it, since you have quite different users, and f.ex. a hardcore Peronist like bajo have been trolling for years. Also few others keep trolling in the same style.
And the funny part, why I was banned or blocked was for an anti American post regarding school shooting with the joker.....so not really a right wing pro capitalism, NRA post. And again, no offensive one, just questioning the shooting.
My last post was maybe 2004 or 5, no idea.
I remain opposed to the “like” button, because it’s so easy to just click that instead of posting a reply. Replies further the discussion; “Likes” do not.
I’ve never understood how the points system (and what’s a Trophy?) or the rather bizarre tag lines (Gone Native, Veteran, High Flyer, etc.) add anything to the forum.
If those go, let’s get rid of the post count too?
Today, a friend expat reported being banned again from the other forum. His ideas are definitely more alike to Bajo's than to yours. Nonetheless, he managed to get in trouble. As usual, no explanation is given. He simply tried to log in today and there was no way to access his account.
I don't like banning, but people on the other forum tend to be very confrontational and things escalate very often. It stops being entertaining pretty quickly. If I want to hear people yelling at each other, I simply tune on TN.
I'd like to keep this forum a place where everybody feels comfortable in sharing their opinion and experience, and if we don't agree, I won't keep barking at the wrong tree.
