Which is why it would be a good idea not to show the post count. As was said, the "Gear" status of someone gives insight into their experience in NAM. We don't really need a post count, do we? I sometimes post one or few word posts and few of mine are long. But, I don't do it for the post count. Nor does a short post necessarily equal an unimportant post. For example, several posts that include nothing but a "+1" show that a particular point expressed is agreed with in the community, as opposed to just one poster's opinion.

I am not a post count fluffer & could not care less what my # is nor do I judge people based on their post count. Plus if you hide the post count & a noob asks some question that has been asked a million times already I am not very likely to answer it as politely since I will have no way of knowing that they are a noob. I think NAM works just fine the way it is now

But I digress as this has nothing to do with what the OP was asking

 

Yes, but a noob would be a nuetral, or, at most a first gear, so you would know.

 

Yet without a history of the quality of the content, it could just be that one is verbose, vs. well thought-out.


P.S. Bama is a closet post count fluffer.

 

Is that something dirty

 

As Samuel Clemens said (or was it Clarence?), "Sorry for the long letter, but I didn't have time to write a short one." (I don't think that is a verbatim quote, but close enough).
