I do and do not agree with this whole concept of a post count. Yes its just a number, and afteral what is it there for? I mean other than the fact of saying "i've posted XXX number of time to this forum", there's not real purpose. The fact the forum itself has "ranks" is also suggesting that the more the posts, the more helpful you are. I do believe the post counts are pointless, and somethng users may strive for, but with or wihtout a visible postcount people are still going to "go for the goal" to increase a number. It being removed infact would just makeusers become less subtle and say "look at my profile, i have XXX posts" (there in itself create yet another useless post.
I don't know, just an opinion. Remove it or not, people are still going to strive for it. Why not save an admin the trouble of editing, and just ignore the user for yourself. Afterall, you'd have to do it anyways.
