Well maybe if you didnt have over 1200 posts you wouldnt see many of your threads being bumped up. It only seems logical you will see a lot of your threads being bumped when you have as many posts as you do. Use your brain , shouldnt that make sense to you?
Some are probably legit, but I think mostly he's talking about new members making replies to inflate their post count. New members are encouraged to participate and you can't even use some features of the forum until you have a high enough post count, but that doesn't mean pointless posts are ok. If you want to get your post count up, it's still important to make replies that add something to a thread. Pointless posts that don't actually say anything and 'Thank you' posts don't add anything. They just add more junk to scroll through when you're searching for real information. When those posts bump an older thread, it pushes newer more pertinent threads down the page. If the bump is because worthwhile info was added then it isn't a big deal, but if it didn't add anything to the thread then it becomes annoying.
It actually can and sometimes does lead to a ban.
Well, there's nothing wrong with having a lot of posts as long as they aren't pointless posts. macdonjo3 has been a member for close to a year now, so if you figure it out from Nov 2009 till now gives an average post count of 4 per day. You're averaging close to 2 posts per day yourself over the last 2 months. I don't thats excessive for either of you.
