If not counting posts in OMNI will cause people to not contribute, then just how committed to this community were they to begin with?

I would reverse the question. If posts dont count, how committed is the community to the forum?

Again, this is especially since it is just Omni. We would be having a very different discussion, it one at all, if it was all things not related to points and miles. Singleing Omni out is sending a message that it is not a part of the community, it doesnt count. That is the real message, if it werent, the easy solution would be to close down the counting threads and other blatant post padding.
