Poll: Should AT eliminate post count and member titles?

I am for it, but you know how many threads we would see with I had eleventybillion posts before they removed the count.
 
I think we should still have a post count, but you only see it in your person profile.

We should keep the member titles but it would be nice if they got changed to something else. I really don't know what the difference is between them all.
 
Custom titles (although we could keep reserved titles for "special" members). Custom avatars. Keep join date. Post count in profile.

It would go far to eliminate the butt kissing that goes on to those members with special titles...

better listen to her guys...she's a lifer 🙁 I wish I was as awesome as she was. Then I could be a lifer too. *throws rose petals at moshquerades feet*
 
I'd be all for it. It would deter neffing to get to the next threshold. I think joined date has some significance, but post count and title much less so.
 
Keep the join date, screw the post count, ppd, and title. just make everybody (except the mods, and a few other choice people) "member"

take everything away but the avatars, and give us the right for custom avatars

ya, but how many noobs are there out there? easy enough to say when you've got a small numer of posts/recent join date under your belt...but after you've been a reasonably longtime/regular postimg member it's nice to see some indication of that fact, and it affects how i judge responses to my questions i'll admit right now...

I think they should, itd stop the neffing from 10 year olds who think post counts and titles matter.

how long do they last in all honesty tho? Not long i'd suggest...
 
I don't think they should, as it indicates how long you've been around. Someone who joined in 2001 who has 10,000 posts will garner more substance than someone who joined in 2001 with 300 posts.
 
I just broke the tie ... it will eliminate a lot of neffing... people posting just to hit another level! Just my $.02
