Stop. Just stop. We don't want people posting crap just for high post counts. Right now, with all the activity, it's hard to point fingers. A lot of people are being super active right now, and that's good. But when all this fuss is over, and the posting calms down to less than 50 new threads a day, it will become very apparent who is trying for a high count, and then we'll start flaming. And by we, I mean anyone and everyone who liked the overall quality of posts a week ago.
P.S. bungie, don't get rid of the count all together, but put it in a place that isn't easy to get to. If people aren't constantly reminded of the count, they'll stop. Hopefully.

I seriously haven't seen any large amount of spam. There's loads of new threads being created, and there are loads of discussions (I've been in just about every one of them, hehe). What I'm saying is, people may be posting quite a lot. But most of it is just serious. I agree that post-count should be disabled (or at least out of view) if it gets abused a lot.
