Don't show post count in the avatar space.
I believe that the incentive for people to increase their post count is because it is shown in their avatar space in every post they make. I'm not saying we should get rid of post count altogether (I did consider it..): you could still find someone's post count in their Profile. You simply won't be confronted by it every post you make. Posts in IK could go back to counting again with this change, because the spam would substancially decrease anyway.
Good idea?
Nobody responded to this, except for yeti who suggested the same solution:

Post counts suck - all they do is entice spam and trolling - lets just bin them
Specifics:
Show Post counts in "profile" pages - but not on the main forum.
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
Less Spam
Less Whinging about IK & FW & MAFIA & ... creating spam.

wtf? any1 with under 2k posts doesnt have a valid opinion? the number of posts you make does not have any relationship with your intelligence and therefor the quality of your posts whatsoever...
the only thing posts shows is that you have less and less of a life as you post more and more
The post counts should be related to CC material, not to spam.
If the old software had allowed it, we would have had no post counts in off topics from the get go, now we do, and the only reason to put it back is so spammers can up their post count without actually thinking about what they are saying.
The post count wont be going back to off topics or usergroups any time soon. Sorry guys.

It's supposed to be CC related and thus part of the post count. We did debate giving FW the same fate, but decided to keep it in the system, although that may still change if it becomes a spam fest.

yeah supposed being the operative word
its already a spam fest. It has nothin to do with CC except the players. All the rest improve cc
The players are part of CC Cena, and the most obvious target for flames. If you see a thread that isn't flaming something CC-related, report it and it'll be locked down. Pretty much everything there now is CC-related.
iIf people are so wrapped up in getting their post count up, won't that just cause them to spam in forums that do count posts, making the spam worse that it used to be?
