Post count on forums?
Displays steam level when you hover over someone's name, what about a post count for the discussions?

Probably the main reason for not showing post count is to discourage spam from people who simply want a big number. Is there a reason why you think post count is value added?

Majority of Internet forums have post count, it seems as though you guys ban spammers so I feel the people that have a higher amount of posts that are not banned yet whom contribute should be recognized. :)

If there was a way to recognize quality contributors on the forums then I'd be on board. Higher count doesn't mean higher quality and better contributor.

We need a feature for the ladder then IMO

Did you guys get rid of the vBulletin Steam forums?

Yes

Well these forums are popping don't blame you
I use to like all those too like post count, links to random stuff like xbox, psn, steam and some other stuff like title, donator and rep. But I don't see a reason to add them on here like they had some stuff on the other forums they got rid of. It's simple, clean and nice the way it is, plus you can see post when you click on the down arrow on your name and view posts.

Not to mention sig's would be a pretty bad thing to add also since it would prob be filled with 3rd party scam sites and other stuff we don't need.

You can see someone's postcount (which in my opinion is an embarrassment more than a badge of honor, despite the fact that I'm about to increment it by posting this comment) by clicking on the drop-down menu next to their name and clicking "view posts".

I think they're generally recognizable by being helpful in any given thread.

Besides, people aren't always one or the other. I've definitely done my share of wonderposting.

Click the arrow next to your name, click view posts

Multiply the number of posts on the first page with the amount of pages of posts

There you go

Next please :)
