the whole point of post count and ranks are to show how long you've been participating in tipit and how active you are within the community. If you spam, trying to abuse this, then you should be kicked off the forums...it's that simple. Removing post counts is just not effective, and I don't see why it's such a big deal. Nobody really cares that much...it's just a number. all the post counts do is show how active you are within the community. whether it's active in a good way or a bad way, that can be decided by the staff
