This way those that say Post Counts don't mean anything can have their way as it would be almost impossible to tell who actually has posted and who hasn't. Those that think Post Count size means something will now have really high post counts and can strut their stuff around the living room all day.
Ah, but that would not work. What really matters in the post count is to show that your own count is massively bigger than everybody else's, so if everybody's is increased, that defeats the purpose.
But the randomisation idea is, in itself, brilliant. Everyday, there should be a lottery in which 100 random Flyertalkers whose post count is above the omni legal minimum see their post count increased by a random number of anywhere between 200K and 500K and 100 other random FTers see their post count decreased by an equal amount.
