You just don't understand do you? Yes, initially people tend to care about post count. Yes, they may make bad threads and posts in the beginning. What you fail to comprehend is that not everyone here has been around as long as a lot of the members. Sure, they may be annoying at first, but eventually turn into a quality member. Isn't that worth it in the end? I think that is more than enough reason to keep post count.

Activity is simply an indicator of how often you visit and show interest at Zelaron. That isn't harming anyone, its just a gauge on member's activity, obviously. So why should that be taken away as well?
