The problem with having post counts to attain certain levels of status (and I'm sure the Admin/Mods would agrees) is that you end up with lots of spam and/or cheap posts.

Does anyone really want to read a thread composed mainly of answers such as, 'I agree' or 'That suxx0rs' and other responses of that ilk? There is nothing more frustrating than trawling through 20-30 redundant posts that add no value to the discussion, just to get to the few that do purely because people desire a certain status.

I defy you to find any forums that use a ranking system that don't suffer from cheap, meaningless posts that exist on to increase post count.
