As we all know post counts are a very important part of our boarding experience. Some people wear theirs with pride, others with shame. Long ago RM adopted the practice of showing post counts in the user profile. Some boards, like the Refuge for example, have opted not to post them at all. In my own professional opinion, since we at RM do display them I think we should consider more accurately representing the board experience here. I posit that many here often have an important post ready to spring forth from their keyboard, yet for whatever reason they don't hit the submit button. My guess is for the average user this has happened approximately 500-700 times. Therefore, I submit that we had 1500 posts to each user's post count to make up for this. According to the RM bylaws (which I can't find right now), I believe any petition with 7 in support of must be not only recognized but incorporated. We have 2 signatures, as indicated below, and hope to gain the support of 5 more brave souls. Thanks.

1. Alex (aka Stephen)
2. lennytheweedwhacker
3. This could be you.
4. [Insert name here]
5. You
6. One more.
7. The last one.

I think instead of adding a number it should be a percentage of posts you actually have.

I knew this had been discussed before, but I felt taking real action was necessary at this point.
