A combination of factors.

Generally, yes
Higher posts generally means old-school members, which generally means older, which generally means more mature which means they can string a sentence together and i'll probably take their posts more seriously.

Of course there is the serous exception of those who have whored their way to a high post count, and I know who they are so don't bother reading anything they post in the first place.

I'd say karma is #1, then donator status and post count mixed for second.

depends on whats the subject, and who it is. i dont think donator status changes anything especially since you can by it off ns store.

i look at post count vs. karma, if the 2 are very close, then i know that post whoring and shitty topics have brought up, but even if the post count is low and the karma is significantly higher, then i can trust that what they are saying has more weight then a post whore, but also, everyone has a bad day. soo.

A few years ago, yes. People who had high post counts 2-4 years ago used to command a proper audience and rightfully so (in general). Then all the post whoring began and people would look at member numbers. Today, post count and karma don't really mean shit; you have to know who to look for.

honestly matthew, i havent been on newschoolers as much recently, but from what i've heard on some threads and what i've seen for myself, you have made a thread almost every day for the past month. most were stupid. i'll admit this is one of the better ones, but still


and for me personally, i look at a combination of karma and post count. and if someones name is green, red or orange i will pay more attention to what they say. still, people without high counts can often have good things to say

 everyone has an opinion, read the entire thread, look for information that is helpful to you, and  just because someone posting who has pull on an internet site posts doesn't mean they know everything. but its a good indicator what they are posting isn't garbage.

store donators, should get different colored dots, not the donator symbols, cuz someone can look "mad legit" by spending $5

no offense, but you are one of those examples of a 16 year old rich kid from the woods, that made a shitty poster (if i remember correctly) or some shit then bought a symbol, who makes useless threads and somehow has 10000 karma. and you  have never said anything intelligent, controversial, or helpful. sorry i am being an asshole, but thats the way i am.

basically, post count, karma, and donation status doesn't matter. i only take people more (or less) seriously if i recognize someone who has made good (or bad) posts in the past.

I usually take someone serious when they take the time to use at least some amount of proper grammar.
