no it's a very good information to show how active someone is. remember that there is also the date you registered straight above the post count. and isn't the post count somehow an incentive to help people? if someone is spamming a lot, people who are around these forums often will notice it. that's how it works. if you join a club you get to know the active people way more than someone who is very inactive (note, as i said, this can change. i always look at the registered date in combination with the post count).

and to be honest: wouldn't it make all those people with a very low post count feel better if it was abandonned? and where is the sense in this, i ask you?
