It's a way as the mods / admins and generally everyone here likes it: it is a conscious choice to not allow post count to factor into a member's perceived worth.
We are all, more or less, afforded an equal voice and opinion here.
From how I understood it, when we did have / if we were ever? to display post counts, it would just devolve into a 'pissing match' for some members' to want to outdo so-and-so 'other member', for some sort of e-bonus points redeemable for naught but your boyhood compeitive spirit.
