I know the admins have alot of work already but I had a small idea.

There should be an option when posting that allows a user to select a "non-increment" post that doesn't add to the post count. It would be very handy for when a person has recieved a post that fixes a problem and wants to post a "thanks" without adding (unfairly) to his or her post count. That way it is possible to says thanks without unfairly increasing your count.
