What is more important? Post count or followers?

Post count doesn't mean sh!t.

Followers. You can increase your post count all day. It doesn't mean anything if you don't have any followers that will see them. Plus, followers just proves how cool and noticable you are.

*Looks at followers* *Tear flows down one eye*

Post count isn't that important. It can be useful for seeing if someone is a new account just made to troll or how experienced someone is on the boards, or it may make some people feel a sense of superiority over newer users (I will admit to this sometimes despite how irrational it is) but if all of those posts are garbage then it doesn't mean much.

I guess followers shows how cool you are or how much people like you.

But the most important thing is how much you contribute to this site or if you make it better. I just try to have fun on here though. It is just an internet forum after all.

I'm not here to become famous. I woke up from that dream a while back.

You know what counts more than both of these combined? Wiki Points, and debating skillz.

Neither, really. Like Jayc pointed out, you could have a ton of posts filled with garbage so that could mean nothing.

For followers, Hitler had an entire country plus countless others following him during the 30s and 40s. The number of followers may only show how many like-minded individuals there are in relation to you on CV.

You're right bro. I'm trying to add episodes and edit some wikis. I am also making myself a frind of pikahyper to make sure he accepts them all. XD LOL

Followers.

Neither matters. Only the quality of your posts do.

Really? You bring up the most extreme comparison in order to justify having followers as not as important?

Neither matter

AND WIKI POINTZZZ

@comicace3: ja mein Fuhrer ;)

I wasn't aware I really needed to care about either of those things.

:)

@rocketraccoonthingy: Do as much as you can to help this site.

Only influence and allies matter. You either win or lose in the game of forums, there is no middle ground.

Post count, because it shows that you have expirience.

Hmmm...

Post count: 32,344

Followers: 317

Wiki points: 9847

Debating skills: Known as one of the premier Star Wars debaters on the net, and was recently inducting the Battle HoF.

Wow, my sh!t seems straight, to be honest.

Neither. Content of your posts do.

post counts of course

Neither

^-^

Not necessarily. A high post count can also mean a user is really obnoxious.

Reputation overrules both post count and followers.

This is the only right answer.

I'm in agreement with the Wiki-Points guy

First of all, neither is important. :P But here's my opinion on them anyway!

Post count - A high post count just means you can spam, it's not hard to make it rise very quicky through just spamming all the games on off-topic. What really matters is the quality of your posts.

Followers - Could potentially let me know that your a pretty sweet person one way or another, after all if a lot of people want to follow you there has to be something good about you. BUT, this depends entirely on the follow to followers ratio. If you follow an amount equal to or greater to the amount of people following you, it means less because a lot of people will only have followed your back out of politeness.

There's no shortcut to being well liked, you can try and brag about your numbers but in the end you won't have anything actually working on being a constructive user.

Both are overrated.

Well you could have a ton of posts.. but just mainly from spam or nonsense. You could have a ton of followers but that may because you follow a ton of people. So eh.

Then again, if you have a lot of posts, but most of them are well constructed or thoughtful, then I'd say post count? Followers are just a nice extra.

Neither really matter, what's important is what you think is important and what you think is important reflects on you and your priorities in life, so what is important to you and what are your priorities? Only you can answer that. Do you wish to have an arbitrary amount of posts or followers? Okay, thats fine, maybe you wish to focus on the content of your posts and how expressive or thoughtful they are? Maybe you like to make new users feel welcome and follow them as a way of making them feel welcome? Perhaps the idea of contributing to the CV wiki is what finds your interest? Maybe you just want to express your opinion?

I don't think you should do things for a number and how supposedly important it is, do things you enjoy, like, value. If that happens to mean you get a high post count or a lot of followers on a comic book website, or not, then… great… I guess? Oh and some of the coolest, and most interesting people I have had the luck to meet at CV, have had low post counts and followers, but the content of their posts was very intelligent and insightful, or they spent a lot of time creating great reviews, amazing blogs, wiki pages for obscure characters and series. Or they had funny lists, or just some other quality that was hard to measure in quantifiable terms. So again, what's important to you?

I never really cared for the follow system, save for a few friends, so I use to follow people when they followed me, not just out of politeness or courtesy necessary, but reciprocity too, and to not be cold. The irony is that I use to find a lot of people use to follow me over saying something opinionated over controversial subjects and religious, political, social issues (gay marriage, abortion, racism, sexism threads etc), but then also I use to experience drops in followers over such comments as well. That and there was a CV glitch a few months, maybe years now, where people lost followers as well. So I am following more people than follow me back, but I am also too lazy to do anything about that and too apathetic to care. So stop insulting my ratio! ^_^.

@sc: Aww, now I feel bad. :P Mostly I was thinking about those people who follow everyone they see just so that people will follow them back, in the assumption that will bring some kind of status. Imho, my whole post here was shallow and rushed, I think my mind was occupied while typing it out. :P

@bruxae said:

Nah its okay, I use to think people with an uneven ratio were losers as well. I use to judge them quietly, but then one day I made a post about how Red Hulk was my favorite Hulk and Female Thor was my favorite Thor and Voltron was my favorite Transformer and I lost 300 followers over night… and I realized that it was more complicated than that and that some people… some people are just really big mean faced meanies! **starts breaking down and crying** I… I thought I left high school years ago… but CV is the biggest high school of them all! **flails arms and runs out of thread dramatically**

(I thought your post was good, I agree with most of it myself, especially about content and quality over quantity)

Neither, godammit!

Neither. Both can easily be exploited in order to gain a high amount of either within a short amount of time.

Post count! NO ONE TAKES A USER WITH UNDER 10,000 POSTS SERIOUSLY!

ITS THE LAWS OF THE VINE!! ALALALALALALALALALALALLALALA!!!!!!!!!

I look at the post count but most importantly the quality of the post (and the reputation that the user seems to have in the community).

Neither matter at all.

Technically neither. I do see the unfortunate trend however, of people with less than (insert number here) posts. Now to be fair, this is not just a CV thing. I see it on other forums too.

Neither really matter, having a lot of followers doesn't mean you have any friends and posting a lot doesn't make you any more interesting.

I've talked to many really nice people on here that have like a dozen or less followers and some of the most well thought out posts I've seen come from people who post rarely.

still post counts... there can be some gimnick who follows then unfollows people.

@elderskaar: Good thing you're not one of those people.

@rocketraccoonthingy: sucks that you are :O

I do not do dat

@elderskaar: Hey you unfollowed me not fair.

Edit: Sorry it wasn't you. Somebody backstabbed me.

@rocketraccoonthingy: nooo i didn't , i swear !

@elderskaar: I'm gonna find out who he is. >:-(
