No support as per this, as this will as mentioned rise competition in scratch.
Also does it even MATTER if you post support/no support? It's not against the rules.

If kind of matters if you post support/no support because the person who wrote the suggestion won't know why. If they know why, then they can change their idea to fix their mistakes.

I support this suggestion. Even thought the post count doesn't really cause spam, as in posts which are offtopic, it does motivate Scratchers to make unconstructive posts.

I support because it kind of makes Scratchers focus on quantity rather than quality. I made a topic on this some time ago. Here it is:

Besides, the numbers are only estimated after a certain number, so in order to raise the numbers in a visible way, you have to spam a lot. And considering you have a 60-second delay (120 if you are new), this would be extremely time-consuming. Since no one really pays attention to those numbers much (at least I don't, and I don't see anyone bragging about their numbers), this would basically be a waste of time for something no one cares about.

Could you please add the fact that many Scratchers post non-quality/ 1-2 word posts to boost their post count to your first post?

No support, I haven't seen it cause much, if any spam on the forums since the 1.4 era.

Congratulations you found me!

I don't support this, because it doesn't strongly encourage spam, and in addition, I think it is better than actually having the number of posts stored on the side of each post (which would be more influencing.)

7500+ posts (19th)

This seems like a duplicate post of https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/119986/

Please read my signature! It might explain some lingo that I used in my post or comment. However, not all of it shows, so you have to highlight the entire bottom of the post, from “Please read my signature!” to where it says report, and copy and paste in into a new sheet or tab or whatever.
I can't decide my signature between:
1. I'm a grammar stickler, and my pet peeve is when people use good as an adverb.
2. I have lots of [creativity]original ideas[/creativity]. [creativity]This[/creativity] is one of those ideas.
3. If I used this symbol: ⸮ in my comment, please look it up before doing anything else.
4. {Minot, North Dakota/Donald Trump parodies} “WE'RE GONNA BUILD A DAM AND MAKE CANADA PAY FOR IT!” “When Canada sends its water, they’re not sending their best drinking water…They’re bringing sleet. They’re bringing floods. The water's toxic.” (It's just a joke that I came up with.)
5. One should make his/her signature text small; that way (s)he can cram more text into the signature.
6. New [scratchblocks] idea each week! (Thanks to Bright-Idea (Read her signature.) for inspiration/the general idea.) Here's the archive:

In all honesty, I would enjoy a specific post count, but due to the lacking maturity (I'm being serious; not mockery) of a lot of Scratchers it would be best to get rid of it altogether.

If we eliminate the counter, it would decrease spam by a lot

Do you mean people focus on the numbers and start spamming to look "cooler" or something?

Nice siggy by the way.

No support, highly doubt anyone would post 500 times just for the pure joy of seeing his post counter say “500+”. And if they do spam, simple report them.

No support.

Scratchers say:

It's pointless.

Does it harm people? No. so it doesn't need to be removed.
