I care more about my post count. I think it gives the impression that I'm a regular GS forum user, or that I've been here for a considerable amount of time. A high level is nice. However, once you've reached a certain level and have unlocked all of the privileges, a higher level ceases to be as important as a user's post count. A user's post count really shows that he's involved with the community. Well, at least that's my opinion. I hope to make it to 10,000 posts, eventually.

Level. You can't level your way to the top so quickly, but you can spam yourself to 10k posts.

I care more about level, but it seems that most users care about post count with all their post parties and whatnot. :P

Level. Ther's a daily level cap, whereas there is no post count cap. You can spam your way to a large post count, but you can't spam for a higher level

Really not that bothered by either. It's interesting to see which title comes after the next, but that wears off after about 20 seconds.

Neither. I can't get past level 32 anyway. Every time I get around level 32 the moderations begin. I'm not jokingeither. If one of the mods wants to ****with you for kicks he or she can just keep busting you down. I should be at maximum level by now.:D

Leveling doesn't require any effort. You just have to be logged in. Seriously.

Neither. Though for other people their post count and their forum reputation. Level says nothing about a peron's involvement in the community.

I was like on the brink of level 30:cry:.

I cared more about my level when I was a user at GameTrailers. Over at that site, a user's level determined their "thumbing power". A user's thumbing power allowed them to thumb-up or thumb-down content written by other users (blogs, comments, etc.). It's magnitude was the user's level divided by 2. So, a user with a level 40 (which was the highest), could give some other user +20 thumbs or -20 thumbs. It could really hurt another user's overall thumb rating if they got thumbed down a lot, since the magnitudes would be more than 1.

That's true. But over the 7 years that I've been a member here. I've never seen a user get drafted for a mod position with a post count above 30k. Travo_basic might have had over 30k, but I don't think he did.

I always thought I my level was oddly high for my post count. I guess it's because I used to write some user reviews.

I think that a forum member who only posts when he has something good or helpful to say is more useful than someone who only posts nonsense, so I say level is more important.

I don't care at all. I'm here for communication, not for prestige.

It annoys me though when I reach one of the stupid titles that come with certain levels. Like right now, I hate Gaytaroo Man. ~__~

Why would anyone care about either :?
(excluding the posting restrictions that come with being below a certain level...that I do care about).

But everyone that I care about on here knows who I am. Other than that, I couldn't care less.

Though I will say that this thread has answered some questions I had about you
(I wondered why you went from barely posting to making threads left and right as of late...I thought it just had to do with the OTcars TBH).

Some people really do seem to care about these things though
-just look at AtM for 'level' concerns
-just look at the spam some people post

TBH, I think there should be a post limit. Once you reach x number of posts, that is it...no more posts allowed from you. I think it would make people think long and hard about the crap they post (is this really worth posting?), and it would cut down on the spam. To make things even more fun, we could hold community votes to extend someone's limit. People would get to see what the community really thinks about them and use that as a impetus for some reflective self-analysis. (but that is just an evil little wish on my part)
