Are people really going to spam just to increase their post count though? Does anyone do that anymore? They would really care that much? If somebody spams just ban them...

Having posts not count just means it's not really a post count, is it? It's hardly an accurate representation of how many posts you've actually had meaning all the awards aren't really that true at all. If you're going to have a post count it should include every post you make, no matter how little or big, that is the point of having such a count after all.
