Most of you already know this but when you click on the poster's name, you can see their post count, when they joined, and when they last posted unless they have their profile blocked. When buying a coin from someone on the BST who you aren't familiar with, this is a necessary consideration. I won't buy an expensive coin from someone who has joined recently and who has a low post count unless they are willing to ship the coin first for examination prior to payment.

Hey, I was working on getting to 200.
You still have a count in your personal profile. Hope that helps
Not if their profile is blocked.

There are some people who just post drivel, but a lot of others who spent many years and much time, contributing and offering information and insight, to earn their post count. So, I don’t think it’s fair to strip that away.

@PCGS_Hy , @PCGS_Marketing, @pcgs_social Is there a reason why PCGS no longer shows the post count next to the names? If so, can you share it with us?

are both true, then it stands to reason that post count is of no use in determining whether any particular poster is worth paying attention to.
Nothing is 100% in life. Every field has its good and bad. But, I think there are a lot more good posters here than otherwise. So, that is still no reason to punish the beneficial ones.

stars are essentially the same as post count with respect to being confused with meaning something it doesn't, yet we have stars

Poor Ricko.
Forgot about that...
(The owner can see it, no one else)
I noticed a help button to in the categories section. Any ideas on what's going on with that?
Who is in the Five Stars Club ? Do we get a special jacket?
Low bar; I'm in the "Five Stars Club," and I'm a newbie compared to many of you (this is my post number 1270).
I miss him. He was always a pleasant person.
Ricko is still listed, with his all-time point total, on this page: https://forums.collectors.com/activity

Wish we had more like ricko 🙂
