show post count?

But what if everyone else is saying it is a scam?

Judge based on information... not on post count
Post count is irrelevant to life

Woof, Woof - Dawg

Does digging up a post form 6 years ago really support your point?

In addition, that post had a lot more question marks to it than just the fact it was from a newbie 🙄

It was the easiest to find as it was on the first page of a stickiey and I knew where it was. I have seen a lot more than that one.

Post count isn't everything, or even relevant in the vast majority of cases, but it can be a factor. That's all I'm saying.

For instance, if someone posts in a completely assinine manner, and is asking a basic question, I might take the time to remind them to search, but only after I tried to help. If they've been around for a while, I'd be a bit less gentle. 😉

I understand that post count does not equal trustworthiness but if they say they have 1-5 posts* they are not to be trusted usually. But usually the more posts the better. (they can hide their newbie status with $25 but scammers usually do not.)



Why:

1. they work for the company or are the owner
2. they are scammers

* or:

1. they only post about 1 company/product
2. are banned on other forums
3. They post referral links
