Anyone else notice a post count discrepancy?

For some reason, my post count has dropped by about 1500.

Not that I'm really hung up on it, but used to be threatening a starter's job...now I'm on the practice squad.

Mine dropped by about 700.

i always thought post counts were stupid

Those not on the Political Board may have missed it.

NEM had been allowed back there but about a week ago was banned permanently - again. All threads he had posted in were deleted, along with his posts were the posts of others and that's why some post counts went WAY down.

I read somewhere else that some dude was cut from the messageboad and with it any threads he had created. If you posted to any of those they are gone.

Ian posted a message about it but I think that thread was deleted. So I won't say anything else about what was said.

I think I may be down a dozen posts or so.

So anytime a poster is banned permanently, all threads they've posted in are deleted?

Or was it the nature or topic of these posts?

It sounds silly to delete them all either way and shave off posts from members. I'm a big fan of locking threads that get out of hand vs deleting them.

I don't think the threads have to be deleted. It was just a decision that was made.

testing how much posts i lost.

Best advise I could have given you would be to just stay out of an NEM thread altogether.

Me too. Whenever I look at my post count, it just reminds me I need to get more of a life.

That was not possible for those of us who've been here a while. It was on the main football forum for years while being temporarily banned half a dozen times, so any thread I posted on where it also spewed forth was deleted and posts sent to oblivion. Mostly threads on how terrible the OC du jure was although there were several other favorite rants, Hobbs sucks, etc.

Good riddance.
