I think this would be more interesting to our users if instead of reducing their post count it took away xx amount of credits from them. Our users all tell me the same thing about karma and post count, "They mean nothing to us" is what they tell me, and "if anybody judges me and my writings by my post count or my karma then they are a fool" is also what they say.
So anyway, I wonder if there is a way to take away credits from user instead of dropping post count.
