I disagree heavily with this, and if you think that welcoming people into the forum is "spamming" then you're wrong. Besides, who gives a fuck if somebody chooses to welcome everyone and they by-accident or purposely do it to increase post count. Does post count matter to you? Is it a bad thing to want to welcome everyone?
It's not necessarily spamming, unless people are literally spamming like yugurt showed above. There's no limit daily per how many people you can welcome, and it's an easy planned post people can make to get some extra posts each day. Also, some people don't care about their post count, but WE ALL consider it an achievement when we get to certain amounts. (100, 500, 1000, etc.)
It's an iffy subject, obviously it should be okay.. but people constantly abuse it.
