I personally have always looked at the quality. But I completely understand that there are a bunch that don't.

I agree - that's why I don't have my age listed. It's irrelevant to whether I make good points or bad points.

As for the post counts, I don't really see the point in removing them, but I don't really care either. It just means I'll have to change my sig...

EDIT: I understand the argument for removing them, I just don't think it necessarily follows that people who post to up their post count will stop doing so simply because it's no longer displayed under their name.

Yeah I don't think it will change anything for people who are already here. But I think it might make a difference for the noob who's about to join next month. He's not going to see any post counts. Maybe he's not the type to care about running up a post count. But if he is, the incentive to do so will be gone.

Awww man! I just changed my age so people would give my words more consideration.

I am the only one who thinks all this removing posts counts and age is beyond ridiculous? I mean it seems to me we are solving a problem that doesn't exist. Waste of time if you ask me. The problem isn't post counts or age it is idiots and morons and not a one of them will not be an idiot or moron simply because age and post counts are gone.

Nope - I'm with you on this one. That said, now that they are gone, I wouldn't waste the effort to bring them back.

I assume that removing the post counts from the display is as easy as clicking a button. I highly doubt Matty had to expend any effort to make it happen.

If it did take effort, I hope you didn't go to that much trouble Matty.

Removing them took a quick code edit, nothing that couldn't be restored in about 3 seconds.

Now that you've listened to that request Matty, how about changing the posting time back to twenty seconds even though I just recently asked (because I'm a douchebag).
