Level is more important to me since a user @ level 15 could break the 10K mark if he was dedicated to it. Usually, the users level defines how knowledgeable they are about this site and its features. In some ways, it also plays as an maturity test to me. If a user can manage to make it past level 38, they passed the maturity test to me....

I don't really care. Both of mine are low :( . I guess I would go with level because I like finding out what my new level name is. I don't go on gamespot trying to level or get my post count I just post on topics I like.

Edit: :o this is my 1994th post! That's my birth year!

Post count. A post count shows your involvement in the community granted it does not show the quality of the posts but it's better than levels which have no relation to community involvement or quality of contributions.

Yep.. and those three levels took forever. I was level 50 two years ago.. granted that I left for university a few times. I complained and they just said... we don't control the amount of points lost. :|

Depends on how you deem stuff "Important" lol post count I guess, because levels can be strange. Sometimes they can be higher even though someone doesn't post alot

Though maybe I'm just jealous since I would be level 17 but they bumped me down for a TOS violation Lol :P

They couldn't ban me.. I only have about 14 moderations. What annoys me is that I've had so few and yet they still treat me like dirt. >_>

I don't know. The 4 previous were for the same thing... but they are dated November 2008, December 2009, December 2009, July 2010. I don't even think any were that serious. Just sarcastic comments.

Level. Post count is meaningless since people here spam so much... like in Roll Call. I've seen a lot of users who have 30, 40, 50, 60 thousand posts who just joined up in the last 3 years. Most of their posts are worthless... but I won't name names. Level is a better indicator of how long someone's been here... which is what I "respect."

Neither; The level you are is completely meaningless, it doesn't tell you what type of person the user is and I've seen plenty of high level users who troll. The post level doesn't mean much either, too many people here post just because they want to increase their count.

I said that a points loss was too far. Jody locked that thread. I then made a second thread when I realised I had lost 3 levels. A mod locked that saying it's out of their control. So now I've made a third thread to dispute the moderation itself. It seems to be the only thing left to do... I also mentioned in this third thread what I've said here. If this fails, I give up... I won't bother with Customer Services. Isn't that just Jody? Haha.

Post Count really means nothing.

You can have a very high post count, yet be low in level. This would show that you have most likely been heavily moderated.

Heavy moderation means your opinion means much less to me concerning gaming.

If you cannot act responsibly on Gamespot, how can I trust your opinions regarding anything?

Does your GS Level reflect on how many posts you've read? I didn't post for a whole week but still leveled up one time.
