Too bad there wasn't a way to rate quality of posts rather than quantity. Me thinks some who seek grande numbers on quantity would find themselves at rock bottom if quality was able to be enumerated.
We did have a system that allowed users to gain reputation, but it didn't go over too well. That's about as close as you'd get to rating quality over quantity.
I voted no....for new members its interesting/helpful to see who the regular posters are...
You beat me to it by seconds. Maybe something to reconsider?

Actually, I've been rethinking this since Doc mentioned it. I belong to another community that doesn't use post counts but used Karma points for posts and submissions. Each registered member is allowed to give one karma point for any give post.
I like that idea.
I think those rep systems are to similar to the "popularity" games kids in high school play...
One thing I forgot to mention that posts and submissions can be downvoted as well.

Which could be solved by the peak rank images as Beano suggests above.
If you decide to do that make sure its clear how many posts you must make to get a mountain...i wasn't aware that 1 mountain=200 posts until i read this thread...

That problem with new users using post count to gauge is that a high post count doesn't always indicate that a user knows what the hell they're talking about.
