I respect their tact. I already have 20 moderations, so I would have trouble reaching their accolades. But a high post count can also siginify hermit syndrome, just depends on the poster and where they post.
The more posts they have means they're not dumb since they're still around, granted they might have racked up a lot of moderations but they're still here.
Not automatically. Some folks believe in quantity or quality; how can you have respect for a lack of effort just for the sake of a high number next to your username?

It really depends on the poster... some are just spammers! :o

Or there's the person who does a 1 word reply to a topic.
Well this kind of made me feel bad... I only did a 2 word reply. :( I have seen numerous users on the boards with 20k plus posts that are deserving of less respect then level 1, 20 post users. It all depends on the poster really.
No only for the reason they act like they know everything because they post more than you. Its their way or the highway which is stupid, some people need to look at both sides of the argument before debating to know end. Im not saying all are like this because there are a few i respect like GabuEx because he seems to "think" before he posts but some are just plain meh. They know who they are.

not next, below.
Like it makes a difference. My point still stands.
To be honest I don't respect anyone around here very much. Also, having a high post count could just mean that in real life they are losers who spend every second on this site.
It just depends. Like others have said, it is the quality of posts over the quantity. The people that make good points and have facts to back up what they say. They earn respect a lot quicker. The type that doesn't half-#$# a post. It is also good to sum things up though. So it really just depends on what the situation calls for I guess. If you can sum up what you mean in a quick reply then more power to you.

Not necessarily. I'm on here about 30 minutes a day, if at all. I've just been here for a long time.
I don't and neither should anyone else. I have kind of a high post count but haven't posted regularly on these forums in a few years. Why should I automatically get respect because I USED to post here all the time? I think respect on these forums should come just like it does in the "real world." It should be earned by being a productive member of the community. More importantly, everyone should be respectful to begin with. That's the best way to get it.

Best answer in this thread, Respect is earned through Quality not quantity.
