my solution from post whoring was to just remove post counts being displayed. People care less about post counts and more about join dates at that point.
What always amazes me is the people who have been members longer than I have that don't have the 25 posts required to post a classified ad when they decide to clear out their old stuff.
Lots of people make accounts just to lurk. I suppose it does make it easier to follow threads and such that you're interested in. Personally, I never bother making an account anywhere until I want to participate, but I can see the logic in other approaches.
Has anyone noticed if their total post count overall is the same?
I can't remember what mine was a week or two ago - maybe a large section of posts was archived or moved into an area that does not count towards post count?
I think overall is the same.
I don't think we lost posts, but I also don't know of any threads being moved or subfora having their settings altered. Still waiting to hear back from the admins.
If anyone does know of some thread or grouping of posts that's missing, or doesn't appear to be being counted, that would be valuable information for us to have.
