This is fair, if it counts _all_ posts and not just "beans".
EDIT: It doesn't. Why?

post=beans unless posts are in the cafe etc...

I'd guess that's because posts not in support forums don't count. This is first and foremost a support forum.
Indeed, as far I know, the server does not keep count of the number of posts made by a user in non-support forums.

I'd yhink that there are dormant spam accounts - the current norm seems like a good bet
I've seen spam hidden in smilies - hanging about and then going back doesn't seem like a hard tactic
I'll go have a look where that piece of text is hidden. vB AdminCP can be .. convoluted at times
Thanks for the suggestion.
It is possible.
We've had what we call "spammers teams". Not sure if there is only one individual behind these, or several, but they create accounts that they keep dormant and revive sometimes as long as a year later. Some of us have developed spider senses to hunt these down, now we can prevent the behavior.
So it is really a balance between annoying you and annoying them.
The forum is a resource for you to use, your presence and contributions are valued. We do not like the way spammers use the forums traffic and, in the end, use your presence
I know how we can become attached to the account look and how it is important to recognize someone. Once the Staff swapped avatar, titles and sigs, everyone was so confused! Even myself! It is part of our identity that we are -transiently- taking away. You'll get it back
