No. Bad suggestion. Die.
I'd prefer a rating system to a post count system though. For instance, this message is practically worthless if not for this suggestion. Yet it's still included in the post count. I'd rather have people rate posts. There would be an Avg. (Post) Rating of 0 to 5 stars and how many posts were rated.
Is that understandable? I'm just thinking this up as I go.
By the way, I think the user rating system is also faulty as it doesn't really average the user's contributions to the community. It only averages the user's popularity amongst the community.
Each rated post must count towards the average user rating else a rating system will fail. Example:
Only the rated posts would count in the post rating. All other posts not rated would not count.

The asterisks would become graphical stars though.
