Setting posting Goals to encourage posting??

[Mike30]

I also added some posting goals to the user's drop-down box.
I added for now 5 posts in a day
and 30 posts in a month.

Do this really encourage users to post to meet those goals?

I always get paranoid that I’m posting too much and sometimes delete posts, depending on the forum. Having a counter like that is a great idea.
