Post Count

[GoldenMerc]

My reply asking you what you want me to do? I was asking you what you want me to do, how is that giving zero shits????? You didn't respond to me so I didn't do anything!! I can't go physically count every post of yours so if you had a suggestion of what forum would contribute to it I would happily go check!!!

Or logically think, okay so if I turn spam posts back on and recount, does it bring everyone back to their value - meaning Ross is incorrect.

No, instead you reply with that.

So instead of blaming spam being turned off, turn it back on, do a recount, look at all the top spam posters, see it's totally inaccurate and recount your steps to see what else was edited.

But we all know what will happen, it'll get brushed under the rug and forgotten about.

Okay, you didn’t say that though, you could have suggested it!!

I wouldn’t even THINK about doing what you suggested as the spam post count is supposed to be off and this post count should be right!

I think you’re confusing me with previous admins/gms Ross and letting your anger over some posts cloud your judgement. Sensibly here, you’ve known me long enough now to know that I ALWAYS try and do whatever is in my power to help people and find whats true, fair and right. I am looking into it now having just seen this thread, I wasn’t around enough yesterday and today to see it before now.

Also, just FYI I can see from this thread that you "reached" 26k posts last year. I know @Neversoft; was the one who brought up about post counts not being right when the whole user ranks update happened but I didn't realise it had affected more people.

I'm looking into your post areas now to see if another forum has accidentally been turned off.

In reference to a post made earlier in the thread (I think by @buttons when event forums are moved none of their settings are changed (so post count shouold still be on?), they are just moved into an archive thread. As far as I'm aware this doesn't change post counts.

I'm suspecting it wasn't done on the test forum before?

We don't have a test forum.

That I'm aware of.

You have 554 other posts which are a mix of on and off subforums but I'm not going to check each one! That's a total of 30482 posts by the way.

The only explanation for you losing 6k IS spam unfortunately. I don't know why it seemingly has affected you for so long though... I know that a few weeks ago I just hit 13k posts, then when I noticed spam was on it was because my user rank was Master and I had 16k posts. I lost around 3k, which is the number I have in spam. But that's just a few days, I don't know why yours was wrong for months, I can't explain it.

Do forums get deleted? or mass move of threads from a forum?

No we don't delete anything.

There were a few mass merges when we did the forum restructure last year but they were all public forums. I *thought* I did a post recount after that but possibly not.

Old/disused forums have been moved into an archive but they've kept their post count settings.

It HAS HAS HAS to be spam though. If you add up ALL of your posts in forums with post counts turned off excluding spam that's 3k, plus if ALL the 554 other posts were in accidentally off forums, that's still only 3.5k and you're saying you've lost circa 6k, the numbers only make sense with spam.

[lawrawrrr]

What I'm assuming (trying to see if I can confirm this now) is that we haven't done a post recount in years and years (basically since you started posting in spam) so since like... 2010 or something spam post counts have been accidentlaly counted?

I honestly can't explain WHY it's happened and it's unfortunate that you feel like you've 'lost' those posts but spam was never meant to have them on so my hands are tied!!

Still weird it'd update everyones bar mine though? It makes sense, specially if you don't delete posts, only other thing would be a mass move of threads from a forum, I guess, but clinging onto hope I'd say
