Should the post count be removed from user profiles?

The Location information on the post would sure be lonely if post count is gone...
It doesn't do too much harm on anyone, and it's simply a forum staple. Sure not all forums use the post count numbers, but it doesn't hurt to have it there.

If it makes things easier on the Database - easier enough to be worth the lack of information, then I don't mind. Everyone knows I'm a bigger post-whore than peppy anyhow.

I don't like post count because it discriminate users with few post and makes users post just to get more posts.in osu there are also other factors to indicate experience but still users whit less tan 100 posts are still taken less serious
I say keep em...
For me it means (HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A MEMBER OF THE FORUM) xd
Like how much you post, if your active etc.......

@awp, Indexing handles COUNT(*) queries quite nicely [citation-needed]. Just hope peppy has an index set up on poster_id or whatever. =]
IMHO posts count is main reason of flaming on forum D: Say NO for flame xD
Not if you are using innodb. Besides, it is much faster to just store a counter and incrememnt manually - you should NEVER rely on a count(*).strager wrote:

Everyone always uses the "it discriminates users with low post counts" card at this point, but tbh I've never seen one forum ever where this has been a problem. Usually it's a good thing that new users can easily spot if the replies to their posts are by newer or older users.
I am against removing the post count, because it has it's uses and also becase it does not have any proven downsides. It's sort of a principle thing for me too.

In some forums, people spam to get a higher post count, for some reason. That's why a lot of forums disable it.
Personally, I haven't seen that happen here much at all, most likely because we have actual scoreboards which provide more meaningful goals.
So I see no reason to disable the post count.

I only read posts by users with 1000+ posts. Consequentially I don't read my own posts and I like it this way.

I pay attention to rank and how intelligent they seem more than post count, so I just voted 'no'.
I'm one to keep statistics for the sake of keeping statistics. Keep post count around. Maybe stop displaying it beside posts if people care that much.
Also, post to increase post count.

Post count helps tell people who's more involved in community, even if I personally rarely look at it. Since we've already got it, its not worth it, in my mind, to remove it.
This is just about how I feel. Sure, there's some people that post just to raise their post count, but you can usually tell who they are.K2J wrote:

The majority says no. 
Yay.
I guess this suggestion is declined now.
btw. I'm posting WAY less now. More serious posting now.
