Support.

I don't know if it's necessary. Not sure of the usefulness of having a post count. Most forum softwares have it though.

Agreed

There isn't any need for it. They're usally just used as e-peen.

There isn't a NEED for most things in any forum software, but the vast majority are nice additions.
E-peeny it may be, I like post counts because it generally shows the people who are active in and about the forum, along with rep counts.

Well with post count we can see who is active and who's not.

I like the concept in terms of contribution, but I also see it as a spammers / trollers heaven. I'd personally prefer a rating system instead similar to the one for playing games on Steam.

How would a rating system work any better than a post count? People would spam post just as much, if not more, to keep their post rating up at 10.

bump for more opinions.

This should be low priority in my opinion. There are a lot of other basic forum features we're missing out on at the moment (e.g., mark this forum as read, highlight threads you've posted in, etc.) that I think should be implemented first.

@Nacimota > Yeah, sure, but the feature is required. Whatever the priority is.
If we start not asking things and improvements, thinking that's not important for now, there will be no improvements at all...
