Neffing? Here on FSM Forums? Nahhhhh.....

Brian, I couldn't have said it better.

My humble opinion is-forget post counts-ya can't cash them in. And yes! Give a 3 word post to a build-it boosts morale.

Seriously, I think it's inescapable when you base ranks solely on the number of posts a person has. Personally, I think the post count should be done away with. Why does it matter so much how many posts a person has?

My sentiments exactly.
But, let's not get into this again. This whole thing started up about a year ago, along with some other unfortunate issues, and caused a lot of problems. Some members left because of people who seem all too worried about "post count", and other issues, and not what this forum is all about. Modelling!!!!
If I feel that a simple two or three word response is sufficient for the post I'm responding to, then that's all I'm gonna say. I don't care about the post count.
So, let's just let this post die and go away.

Just kidding. Yes, I have noticed that. I try to only do that when I complementing someone on a build. Normally I try to make it a little longer than what I posted above. But when I see a long post (I mean a really long post) I don't usually read it unless I have the time. So I try to not make it too long ether. But when it comes to saying something nice about another persons model, there isn't usually much to say other than something like "looks great, that camo is awesome! And ditto on the weathering." And since I'm not really into jets like some people, I don't usually complement them. It's not that I don't like what they built, I just don't have the knack for building jets (right now at least). Therefor, I don't quite know how to complement them. If I really wanted to get my post count up, I probably would though. So generally, I try to only post when I have a serious comment to make.

Yep.
