This is the attitude that spawns spammers by the bucket load. But, most often it's true. Maybe people spam too much because of it, but there are also intelligent posts. I remember back about a bit over a year ago, a certain warez site (just to give you an idea... something with a "nova"...) released their forums. I registered the first day, and I posted a lot. It wasn't all spam, but some of it was. But either way, myself (who had the second highest post count) and one other person (who had the highest post count) were asked to become mods by the site admin. Because of this, I view post count differently. It definately counts for something. Anyone who tells you different is lying. How important it actually is variable by the forum though. Those are not the kind of boards i'd want to bother with then.That shows just how good the management actually is.
