People try to bump their post count for reasons that are far byond me. Perhaps those people think that post count is the proof that they are better than others? I really dont know.
You know, without starting a fight or making any accusations, I find the above statement very curious. Reason being, you've had several posts removed because of that very reason. You quoted something, then simply wrote "Win!" or something of the like in a thread where someone was needing help. What benefit did it provide to the conversation? None.
After all this discussion, and showing that it's easily overcome and rarely necessary, there's still a call to have it removed? Why? What possible problem does that solve? Not having to type 8 more characters when you have nothing to say? I'm sorry and not trying to be rude... but I honestly do not see the point in all of this, and even more so after this public discussion.
