We already have post counts, and that isn't a "thing" - I am not seeing why anyone would have a problem with thank-counts.
Maybe it's sad to people who need their ego stroked or need some type of self validation, but for the rest of us it's not necessary.

As far as I'm concerned you can get rid of the post counts too. They are also non value added. It's obvious who the quantity posters are anyway.
