My opinion on posts are as follows.
Non Tech Post counts will add to the urge for people to post responses like: "Neat!"
Disabling non tech post counts in reality doesn't slow down the "non technical" talk that makes up most of the posting on this entire forum, because people still post "Neat!"
For these two reasons I think that post counts altogether should be deleted, as they don't clue anyone in to how legit someone is. Ligitimacy is EARNED through thoughtful posting from the likes of jrichker, tmoss, Michael Yount, etc...
You have to be on the forums for a while to figure out who people are, and even then a post count doesn't mean much when as Tim said earlier he can modify them. Case in point Defleshed hasn't nearly as many posts as his count says.
I wouldn't mind if my post count were deleted altogether and set as blank, or some odd symbol like Ø
