Posts are only removed if they are spam, posts that are seemingly irrelevant or unnecessary aren't, one can easily manage to accumulate many posts by simply agreeing or giving the barest bones of an argument. Welcomes and Birthdays are the best example of this, look at any welcome thread, what do you see? The same message reworded slightly by a multitude of different members, and it will always be that same group of members that welcome new memers, their post counts sky rocket. "Hello" is not intelligent conversation, I understand the need for good will, but is greeting every new member necessary? No. Is celebrating everybody's birthday, regardless if you even know, or care, about them? No.

Which is why W&B does not have post-counting.
