^ Same here. I recognise avatars, not post counts.

I don't ever feel like I get discriminated against for lower post counts, but maybe I post too infrequently to notice that I do :P

Who are you ?

I usually change my avatars and banner after a few months, but it costs me about VG $25 so sometimes I hesitate.

I am somewhat of a VG$ whore.

Since when did Internet forums start following the rules of Logica?

I've noticed that people here who have small post counts (say, under 500 or so) are often bashed and called out for their opinions more than those who have posted in the forums for longer/more frequently. This mentality is going to scare off a lot of new members because they're going to be afraid of being chastised by others for expressing their opinions. Sure, some of them are illogical but they should still be allowed to express them without being bashed as long as they have a decent explanation as to why they think the way they do.

 

Can we ease up on people with smaller post counts, if only a little? Everyone starts off with zero posts, so they're no different than the various gods, near gods ( CGI), and crazies (Soriku).

Stfu noob!

 

I kid, I kid. But most of the time, their posts are nigh unreadable and don't have proper punctuation and grammar, so of course they are going to be ignored. Post count = e-penis. The higer the post count, the bigger your e-penis. This is the way the internet has always and will always work. Deal with it.

What about people like Luthor:

One of the oldest members on the site (user no10 and I think the oldest active account) and he only recently passd 500.

I have been a member here for a few years or so and have very low post count and no avatar; never really thought about either untill now. Guess I'm more of a reader than a writer.

I think members with high post counts who spend all day here deserve some sense of ownership of the site, and should be able to correct the behavior of Noobs on the forums. As for discrimination, I would like to think my posts would be ignored and or ripped apart like the best of them....
