post count is a simple one; playing a game of chess or similar requires in the order of 35 posts per player they may be made fairly rapidly over say half an hour, for any board that holds any value to the post count (eg usergroup promotions) will have things skewed by members playing lots of games.

bbcode, smilies and images aren't parsed by the comments display and may confuse the parsers in some of the games. The comments aren't supposed to be huge essays, a sentance or two perhaps but no more, bbcode and smilies aren't really required for them.
