Being a post hunter is bad?
There are several ways you can make your post count higher
(1) Post useful answers in current threads.
(2) Post silly comments that help nobody.
(3) Argue the toss all the time.
Obviously this is a generalisation, that is not an exhaustive list, and there will be many posts that straddle across these categories, but even so, a person whose posting history seems to fall mainly into category (2) and (3) will be seen by other posters as more of a nuisance than a help.
