Post count redux, ...and other post displayed-related things Options

[*mipadi*]

So I've been looking over the post-display style of cB and comparing it to other forums and discussion-thread-type sites I frequent, and I think it could use an "upgrade". Admittedly, I am a bit of minimalist when it comes to design, but I'm inclined to think that the post display style of cB is a bit busy, and could stand to be cleaned up a little.

First of all, post count. I think we should get rid of post count, or at least the display of post counts. People are too obsessed with their post counts, which don't even reveal much about a user, except for how much crap they post. So let's just get rid of it.

Secondly, extra user info like custom rank, group, joined date, location, member no., and status. Shove that stuff to the user info page display, or iconify some of it.

Basically, on posts, just display an avatar, username, and post date and time. Save the extra info for the user page, or get rid of it entirely. If status is deemed to be important, iconify it along with the post. Iconify "rankings" like moderator and admin, too. Give them a little badge next to their name.

I don't really mind them and I really don't know why everyone is making such a big fuss about them. If this is about people downlowing people just because they have maybe only 100 posts or lower that is crude of the people that are doing so. I know alot of people that worked their way up here and now most of the people that have done so that come here now of days don't really care about the post count any more. They come and go as they please. It's all for fun.
I like them because it's just a good thing to look at. It also gives me a goal to have like.." Hey, I am going to get 10 posts in today. That is better then the 9 yesterday." I think it helps keep the posting going.
Oh well, do what you people want.
That's just what I have to say about that.
