I’ve noticed that whenever bickering starts between a couple of site members, they often bring up one another’s post count as some sort of measure of credibility. This kind of petty nonsense reminds me of the Social Credit System in China, it’s like the inner workings of a dystopian future.
At the end of the day, post count measures only one thing: how many posts someone has made. That’s it. Turning it into a tool for comparison for anything other than that is ridiculous. In fact, all this post count measuring and one-upping is no better than a bunch of childish old men boasting about penis size.
