Postcount only brings problems to the Sythe comunity. Without postcount many scammers wouldn't register, spam for three days to get 200 posts and then scam. Now you'll probably say "If you're an intelligent member you'll never trust a user's postcount no matter what". So what? People are still scammed just because they trust a user with 200 posts more than one with 20 and five vouches, and they won't learn it. So first of all, removing postcount would make some scammers quit and they'd make the forum cleaner of posts with the only intention to make their postcount higher.

Then some people say "It just says how active a user is". Then add something like an activity bar. Why not?

Also, I think that a user with higher postcount is treated different than one with a low one. So people would also post more just aiming for respect. These posts are maybe not spam, but indeed not helpful.

What do you think?

Post count encourages activity, so it will not be removed. This is on the DNS sticky.
