I did run the numbers for the past month, and suprsingly enough it was not to much different.

Lighthouse had more posts then anyone with the lowest rate.
Iwrite was a distant second but with a bit better rate.
intechspecial was in third but with the best rate of the top three.

To much other data and users made it difficult to get an extremely accurate understanding of the posts.

It is difficult as you would literraly have to go through hundreds of threads and posts to get an understanding of actual figures.


The above is almost a hundred percent accurate, you can check this if you would like.

Unfortunately there is no scoring system for the intrinsic value of a post or an answser. Most of the scoring I have observed in the last week is coming from what I call 'nonsense junk posting to be posting'. So to the scoring numbers I say "It is what it is". When people troll the board and check out the top posters, what will they find? Substance or junk? If I have 3 points and a lot of substance in my responses then I am participating and contributing to the community. If I post silly answers, start threads that complain about the board and rant and rave at other members, then others will certainly have a considerably less favorable opinion of me on the board.

Remember, the internet never forgets. Anything you post can and will be found and may come back to haunt you.

This is extemely true, and I understand completey your point of view.

Yes your words are taken to heart, as I trusted your view point.

If I was given the opportunity to explain myself I would, unfortunately this opportunity will not reveal itself.

I am still trying to understand why I am recieving such a backlash.

Once again, the numbers are FACT, although peoples opinions will paint a different picture.

Ah, why couldn't you just leave it alone? With that last little "goad," some of the grad students (who read, but don't participate here) insisted that I post their tally for the past week:

Intechspecial: 412 posts (including 87 new posts to 26 threads that were already marked as "answered").

Everyone else on the "leader board" added together: 148 posts (nearly a third of which were in a couple of good discussions that Iwrite initiated).

Wait a minute! Grad students are reading this?!! Impressionable minds witnessing this deep, insightful banter between level headed, mature adults. Oh, the inhumanity of it all.

You aren't naive.

I have been on this forum for almost a year and I don't see the need or benefit to keeping score of posts. But to others it apparently carries some weight. I am in the camp with most of the posters who are more interested in providing quality posts over posting the most.

Others feel differently and actively post like it is some competition. This forum is what you make it.

Yes I would agree.

This just seems to make sense.

It really is just a community of people posting there views.

Make it what you will, five years from now it will have no relevance whatsoever.

Although 100 years from now they might look back on this and think what wise and insightful people that lived this way.

Understand every little keystroke you type on your keyboard, will forever be recorded in history.

I really think my keyboard is not that important, but I guess thats just me.

Really is just a community no big deal?

The huge mistake on this board is automated points, this should be given by members to other members if they found the threads or posts interesting.

The competition is not on this board, but on your fields.

I am on this board to help new e-commerce owners, because I know by experience that it is pretty difficult to start a business online without help. As you may know everybody had help by someone one day. Internet has his good side and his dark side, and I wish to help new e-commerce onwers to avoid falling in scams or things that doesn't work. I also like to learn from reputable gurus, kind enough to give time on this board, tips or advises for free,

I believe some of us are here to learn and connect instead of competiting in this board which is silly.

I am definitely hear to learn, connect, educate people, and learn from people.

Unfortunatly when I am pointed out as being "incapable" or "lacking in abilities" I will of course defend myself and my credentials.

I have really tried to stay out of this discussion but alas, I cannot keep my keyboard quiet.

I concur that it would be better to credit points based on user feedback. Right now I believe only the original poster can mark an answer and there is only 1 "right" answer. I may be wrong here.

I would like to see a point system - perhaps 1 - 3 and a negative 1 to penalize spammers.

So that intechspecial feels the love, we can also create a seperate ranking board to see who has the most letters after their name - you win Michael!

When I initially joined, I did not know that people were viewing this as a "competition". I hope people have better things to do!

I do not think it will ever happen because this is a BofA board but it would be nice if each board topic was given a "moderator" who could help police the board and remove inappropriate posts. The board is so cluttered now it seems to be much less effective.
