[quote name='Snake2715'][quote name='javeryh'][quote name='Mr.Answer']What is the actual benefit of having post counts?[/quote]
There's really only one point - and it's an important one to me and a lot of others who use this site.... I'd rather trade with someone with a high post count. I know you can artificially inflate your post count with meaningless crap posts but I'd find it hard to believe that someone would get up over 1000 posts over a period of 6 months to rip someone off in a $20 trade. If that's what happens then so be it I guess but I feel a lot safer trading with someone like that than with a total noob. IMO, the higher the post count the more likely that you are not going to get ripped off by that person.[/quote]
This is somewhat how I feel about it although it can be misleading.. I mean crap (I am going to do it even though I have no problem with him)
Scorch just came here and hes way up in the 5k + range.[/quote]
Ah, but you see every time you post Cheapy takes possession of a tiny sliver of your soul. Thus high posters are risking the ultimate peril if they displease the Cheap Lord.
