AN Member Post Count Obsession

Is it the case that you, as a new bloke, are insanely envious of member's post counts, if so, why...?

 

Or is it you HAD a huge post count that is now dust in the wind as you were sent packing..........😢

 

Now come clean, I/we don't care, just get it off your chest...........🤗

Ah, another useless entry from the word association king. Kind of like playing scrabble by yourself isn't it. Never gets old right? Only requires a good stock pile of rubbing cream. 
 

Sorry, I would also add a dozen useless emojis to this response that nobody is going to look at, but can't be arsed. Surely you'll make up for it though.

Sorry Mr. Transman in the pink tights, but I'm not going to continue this little bromance with you. No offense, but there is no entertainment value in it. It's too boring and mundane replying to your rubbish. Let us know when you hit 100K useless posts next week though. 👍🏼

It's transam, chap, a few get it wrong......😉

 

As for my post count, I can do better than that, I will PM you, if you're still here......

Will you post photos so we can attach appropriate emoji(s)?

PS;  Will that be early next year?

As I said, it's not a measure of anything, but here you are going down that rabbit hole. How many posts a person has is not indicative of how much they know about or how long they have been in Thailand. Perhaps they've been here longer than you, and who even cares, but maybe they have better things to do with their time and simply are not interested in posting. So any measures you choose to apply based on post count or how long they have had their AN account are all meaningless. 

Well said.

Noooooooo, Mrs.T doesn't like folk seeing me in pink tights...........😱

 

The ceremony, no idea, but it looks like a looooong way off, that's if I am still breathing or still participating here.........

I don't know if that's true. I have a high post count but I've been a member for 20 years and I certainly don't sit at my keyboard all day. I'm very very active and nearly always have physical projects on the go so I tend to work for a while and then come indoors and relax for 15/30 minutes and read the news and post. I probably have ten or twelve such sessions throughout the day but in-between I'm doing a lot of work elsewhere. I also wake early and tend to post then, waiting for the sun to come up so I can start work.

Why are you justifying......and who cares?

If you don't care, why are you reading, let alone responding!

So why are you posting about a high post count that you don't care about?

I usually get attacked on the basis my post count is too high, implying I have nothing better to do with my time.

and your point is?

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.

 

I haven't read the full thread. Before the site update a few years ago, not only the post count was shown. There used to be a "reputation" count shown too which showed the responses such as likes etc. to the poster. I miss that, as it showed who comments get likes or not. I wish AN would re-instate the "reputation". Was easy to identify the time wasters and troll posters.
