View Full Version : Post Count Policy for Newbies?

I'm a newbie. I have a question regarding post count.

I have made a few posts on this forum here:

Various web hosting and tech related domain names available for sale

But I notice that none of my posts are reflected towards my post count. My post count still counts to zero even after I've made these few posts.

My question: Is there a policy regarding post counts here? Are there certain forums that do/don't reflect towards post count?

I've tried the FAQ and searching a bit, but I couldn't find any relevant topics about this. Or maybe I don't know what keywords I should use to do a search, so if this has been covered somewhere else and I just can't find it, I apologize if I'm asking about an often asked item.

All you need to do is look at the top of the section you posted this in. :)

Ahhh, so that's the section entitled [Why Are My Posts Being Removed?], isn't it. Thanks for that, sirius.

And oh, look, I noticed that my post count became 1 after that post. So with this post, it should be 2 now.

So that's how it works. Okay, I understand it now.

Thanks for the welcome, Dude! Greets to you too as well. :)

That's a pretty fat post count you got there, stretching all the way back to 02. Nice.

So what're you hawking? Or hacking, as the case may be? :)

I was searching for the same. As far as I think this will discourage instead of encouraging. Anyways.. Save the webspace and minute DB space.

It discourages me too. :( Oh, look, my post count is at 4 now. Yippee?

Erm...you're not supposed to "fluff" to gain counted posts. I'd suggest the above was just that. ;)
