 I was just wondering what everyone thought. Please post why you chose yes or no.

I chose no because I believe that no post count would eliminate spamming and pointless messages.

 You only vote yes because post count is so important to you and you want to be noticed. So thanks to Orcrist.

 Before I vote, let me ask:
If on the offchance the admins decide to do this, how would it be implemented?

 I nulled, I really don't care. I don't believe it would decrease the amount of spam by much.

 There's an option to turn of post count. It's that easy.

I'm pretty sure the Admins know PHP and MySQL... resetting existing post count is not all that hard, and also simply not displaying it is also very easy. It's like what, 1 line to cut out?

EDIT:

Or maybe 2 or 3 depending on how you want to change the profile.

 Ooo, a post count! (a little sarcasm there for those of you who didn't catch it)

I nulled. In my opinion, eliminating the post counts would not change a thing. People would still post meaningless spam and  one-liners. It's not like getting a title is that important to most forum goers (though, of course, there are some exceptions).

 Really? *ponders* I guess it does seem important afore 1000, but after that, your spam arteries get squished by your knowledge cells. *says that sounding like a college professor*
