Down with postcounts

Alright well then basically modify my post and exclude the numbers.

Frankly, I don't really think it matters at all. Spam isn't going to go away. Nor will it ever make sense or have a purpose other than simply being spam. I guess it might possibly be reduced by a different method... but it's impossible to know if it's worth it.

I'm for the removal of post counts, however, I am against the idea of a ranking system. Such things only encourage spamming and those lovely "Xth post" or "How do I reach X status?". Other idea is to adopt the system that the FireArmsMod forums adopted; posts made in the OTF (Off Topic Forum / Crap Forum) did not increase post counts while posts in other forums did. Although spam wasn't eliminated the worst of the spamming left as the worst of the spammer left (being that their post counts no longer made them "important".
