When have we ever considered post count when moderating?
Actually I'm going to expand further. I think the aim of the site has always been not to over-moderate and allow the community to self-police. Moreover, there are tools provided to aid in this - reporting threads, ignore functionality, etc.
Bottom line the quality of the board is set by those that contribute to it. We can moderate by elminating those that violate the board guidelines but when you start reaching into the mods being expected to deliniate between high quality and low quality posts it becomes too much in my view.
Moreover, a lot of the ****ing matches start with someone telling another poster that their post sucks rather than simply debating the substance of the post.
You want a better forum...make it a better forum. The onus rests with the community, not the mods.
/end of rant.
