When you see people post

[Mint]

When you see other hxf members posting around does the following make you think any different of that person?

- year they joined
- rep points
- rep power
- post count

I dunno how I can explain what I mean with more detail but basically would you think any different of what that person has posted if they had "x" number of any of these statistics?

High rep power would make me think they were 'respected' as they have a lot of rep, post count and the year doesn't make a difference to me. It's quite easy to get 6 rep blocks so I don't think it necessarily means they are well liked or whatever.

No not really.. lol!

None of them really matter because everyone's different for example jesus has a really high post count but rarely posts at all anymore as well as new members, generally banned members of spam on new accs, have low post counts but high rates.
That being said I tend to think of new members, labelled with a bronze star as young people unless it is indicated otherwise by the way they conduct themselves.

[Caution]

mainly just the rep would make me think they were respected as jen said. the year they joined would make me think they were also respected if they have been here agezz.

the quality of the post is the only element which makes me "judge" people so to speak.

[Jackk]

i dont even look at all that, just the posters name and what they have to say.

[Barkseh]

it used to. not anymore.

What they've posted, which isn't an option. I don't judge people on the quantity of anything, rather, the quality :P

I don't see rep as any indication of respect since they changed the system. By that logic someone who has been repped the same number of times by someone on the old system as someone on the new system deserves more respect because they have a higher rep power which seems, to me, illogical.

I generally judge people on the content of their posts.

These where the kind of answers that I was looking for so I must of explained it correctly. I also agree with quite a few of these posts, for example; If I saw a new member posting with 1 bronze star I would automatically think that they are young members of the forum unless of course the way they post is sophisticated. And as for post counts, I would only respect their high amount of posts depending on who has them. Like if it was a 2009/2008 member the word "spammer" would be my first thoughts but if it was someone who has been on the forum for a long time or someone that is known for posting quality posts then I would respect them.

As with every rule there's an exception. A long time member of the forum who is reputably known for spamming for the purpose of a high post count. I wont name names course. :rolleyes:

No need, I think most of us know who that person is. :P

[brandon]

I turn my nose up at anyone with less than 5 rep power.

[RedStratocas]

i judge people based on what number their post was. i usually find a way to pick on #3.


No not really.. lol!
