Title: Post count issue
Post by: Rob Pomeroy on April 03, 2007, 03:15:35 PM

Nathan, I wonder if you can stop posts in this forum from counting towards an overall post count?  Word games are very quick ways to rack up large post counts (thereby gaining access to D's B&G) without necessarily contributing anything of significance to CH.

I'd thought about this too, but you beat me to mentioning it.
Most off topic forums don't count towards overall posts, maybe this one shouldn't either.

I agree. I think the posts in the 'Off Topic' shouldn't count because they more or less have nothing to do with helping anyone.

Same here.

Well, at least now we are requesting something that can be simply changed

I agree, (though its fun to get your post up by fun), things that are off topic to this forum probably should not count.

Sounds fine with me and looks like everyone agrees. Done.

Testing 1148 post count.

Looks like it's working. So no posts in the off topic will be counted towards overall post count.

Cool, thanks.
Edit: it works.
Yes, I know it's already been tested, but I always have to test it for myself.
I'm just like that.
