personaly i voted for the keep it in the profile option. cuz you whant to get rid of spammers but, what about those users that have earned it? most new peoople that like to spam just do it because it shows the p count on the topics. well i had a really succesful site about another game a drag game, it was kinda like this one and we had the same problem. what we did is who ever spammed we gave 1 warning and onyl 1 if the person insisted in spaming we ip banned it for a period of time, and that method did work ALOT cuz sometime the person just make another acc and keeps spaming if you ban him the normal way. but when you got a forum as active and big as this one there is not a 100% sure way to deal with spammers. but the keep the count in profile way will help and at the same time will not affect those who have dedicated to the well being of this site.
