I know I'm just a college student, but Randy please hear me out as a long time listener and thoughtful observer of Flyertalk.

Is there any way we could eliminate post counts in OMNI? I have understood it that post counts are one way to evaluate reputations of other members. Unfortunately, in the past, I have noticed that there are many members out there with unusually high post counts and all their posts have been in OMNI. A newbie like I may trust these users and respect them, when really they do not contribute anything to the miles and points section of flyertalk. I love this website over the past few months of use and I truly feel that this would be a good move to make OMNI enjoyable and not an egotistic competition for higher post counts.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
