Cat Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I'm spending more time than usual on LAVA this morning, because I'm extremely distracted waiting to hear how many zillions of dollars it's going to take to resurrect my car. I just noticed I've made 6 posts in the past 24 hours elevating me to the "Quantity is Better Than Quality Hall of Fame" (ie, Todays' Top Posters). I reviewed those posts. Two were followups to followups to a question I had asked. Two were pure fluff. One had some minor informational content. I don't call that a very good signal to noise ratio. Is there some way to add some sort of self-rating box to each post? So I could tell the post number bean counter not to count a particular post? I would suggest just not counting posts to the LAVA Lounge, but I know posting there all the time is how crelf has gotten his count up, and since he's one of the admins, that will never happen...

What is this?!? Beat up on crelf week?!? Not that I don't like it I replied with my thoughts to a similar question here. Please go over there and vote that reply up. Quote Link to comment
PaulG. Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I don't call that a very good signal to noise ratio. The lower SNR here is one of the many things I like about LAVA. I wouldn't worry about it. If you get out of line Mike A. will send Guido to "talk" to you. Quote Link to comment

Michael Aivaliotis Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I'd like to point out that post count is just that, post count and nothing more. It indicates that you post a lot and you've been active. Nothing more. So you're asking to have a feature that will indicate to people that you are not posting much and that you're not active on the forums. Probably not going to happen. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, yeah, that's right, Mr. Aivaliotis, sir. Don't send Guido. Let's talk. I'm sure we can come to some sort of agreement. I'll do anything! I'll even shell out for a Premium Membership! Just don't send Guido! (LOL! Thanks for brightening up my Monday!) Quote Link to comment
