No, this is not a popularity contest forum or a bunch of teenage girls that need to be told how great we are.

3) Don't include the number of thanks, likes, etc under the username (on the left-hand side of posts).
Related to # 3, what about removing, or not displaying, the number of posts people have ? Many times I've seen long-time members with a bazillion posts ridicule a poster - comments like "as if you know anything about fixing 'x' with your low post count" - based on them not having "enough" posts here.
1. So we can only agree with others? Need to inflate others egos? Can't have any negativity though, that would make me feel bad.
2. Well if you are going to like my post, I want others to know, it makes me feel better that others know that others like my posts.
3. See # 2, what is the point of you liking me and others knowing how many others have liked my post if your not going to show that I am liked and thanked?
As for number of posts, they mean nothing. You can have 3 posts and be a jerk, you can have 30,000 posts and be a jerk.
I can't recall any "as if you know anything about fixing 'x' with your low post count" comments.
Now if somebody comes here and posts something stupid/incorrect and has low post count (like Fram is the worst filter ever, synthetic oil makes you engine leak, etc) then yes, they will get ripped on as a noob, and their low post count may be brought up.
I would be fine with the post count being dropped from the posts screen, just have it in the profile.
