You must reckon the first thing you do when you don't know about a member who just posted is to look at his/her postcount. Post counting is important for a board. It can tell you if the user is well known by the other members or if it's a noob trying to annoy, for example.
It is not relevant when it goes to help out people around. And it should not be used to however try to take a race with some others spamming around freely.
