I think they are confusing 2 words:

Imposter and Poser

Imposter is a phony.

Poser is a show off. I hope that helps you.

She is such a poser (not poster).

poser – noun

a person who habitually pretends to be something he/she is not.

Jargon File –

poser

n. A wannabee; not hacker slang, but used among crackers, phreaks and warez d00dz.

Not as negative as lamer or leech.

Probably derives from a similar usage among punk-rockers and metalheads, putting down those who “talk the talk but don’t walk the walk”.

Have not heard of this reference but it could mean that the person is like a poster boy/girl, ie good-looking/attractive.

i think you mean “poser” not poster. and if it’s poser then it means someone who pretends to be someone they are not.
