@Ritalincel and @-BrettyBoy- did a lot of postmaxxing. They were banned for it.
But I don't think they did it just to be the guy with the big post count. So despite their postmaxxing I really liked them. Because they postmaxxed to be funny. And they were funny. And "funny" has value. They're contributing "funny" to the forum, if only an eccentric kind of funny.
But some people aren't trying to be funny, they just want a big post count. That contributes nothing of value to the forum. It's not interesting or funny. And they wouldn't do it if they weren't rewarded for it. So what if that reward was taken away? I'm not suggesting it should be, but let's imagine for a second post count didn't count for anything. No karma, no leaderboard, no stars, no colors, nothing. Who would still be postmaxxing, and why? It must be for good reason.
