Displaying post counts, disabling post logging for the Random forum ONLY.

Cheers!

Hopefully this doesn’t cause spammers to spam in other sections.

Oh, if they spam the other sections, they will be deleted - no questions asked.

</div>

I guess this solution doesn’t remove all past posts that were in random as well?

Hehe, its still fun watching everyone post in random but their post count doesn’t go up 😛

Is there any way to get the actual post count number though?

Nope ☹ At least I am not aware of such a method…there is an option to “reindex” all posts in vB control panel. Maybe that might update the post counts - not sure though.

hahah wow, I’m glad you guys are working on solutions to the problem. I was very weary of the situation last night and thought that there was no end to it. I like the idea of disabling post counts in Random.

So far I can see that it has taken effect, Aislin got mad when his post count didn’t go up!! hahahaha gosh that felt good. =)

yeah - we are all like viruses who control the overworld (non Top Secret forums) and the members are clueless as to what is happening and where all of these symptoms and antibiotics are coming from.

We really should offer visitation to the Top Secret forum - charge them a small entry fee, stamp their hands, and give them a tour of this area…quite interesting as to what all actually goes on here =)

Cheers!  
Kirupa 😛

I find it even more hilarious that Aislin noticed his post count wasn’t going up ASAP. As if he watches after every post to see it go up or something.

For how much longer do you all feel we should keep post counts frozen for the Random forum? =)

Raf is annoying me with this Site Check thing.

“Lets pick only one site to critique, that is more fair than having all sites get an equal chance of actually getting a critique”
