    Default Grammar change?

    The description for the board 'Spam' is "Post counts do not increase". To me, I think grammar wise this sentence is incorrect. I think it should be changed to: "Post count does not increase in this section".

    Thanks.

    I think this is somewhat nit picking and the message as it stands is perfectly fine.

    I noticed that the other day. After thinking about it it does make sense. So any would work in my opinion - no need to change.

    Well what about "Post count does not increase"? I don't think "Post counts" doesn't sound right.

    To be perfectly honest, this is just nitpicking. Yes it could be fixed but it's just wasting time which could be spent on real issues.

    It really wouldn't take much time up at all. I don't think it's nitpicking. I'm just a bit OCD about grammar and spelling.

    The grammar is perfectly fine here. I'm not seeing a problem.

    I don't think it looks right.

    The grammar is fine. It's using the plural post counts to inform users that post counts do not increase. It's a grammatically correct sentence.

    But "Post counts" is known as "Post count".
