I think this is a very good idea, though only if the reward system you mention is enabled.
In my opinion postcount indeed shows a little your experience and stuff, but only in comparison to your join date.
If I see users with 1,130 posts since Aug 2010 I know they are spammers.
But if I see someone like you, with 851 posts since June 2007, that is to me a sign that you are have some experience and know what you are talking about.
A replacement for this could indeed be a karma system.
One more comment though, if a karma system would be added, make it so that it cannot be a negative number. Some users can find it quite depressing to have -56 karma.
