I've noticed that my number of posts counter appears to be wrong (I've posted twice previously, this being my third). I suspect that everyone is one short (a dodgy algorithm?), but once you're above five you're not likely to notice  Having read what everyone had to say on the subject of "me too" posts I've sat on my hands several times, rather than contribute nothing relevant, so I find it slightly galling to see one of my few efforts go unrecognised 
I thought I ought to mention it as it seems innocuous to have a count if it's wrong (although in a "fair" way).

| Fibura, post counts do not increase in the Inn or in the Welcome sections of the forum. |

Oh OK, that seems fairly sensible now you mention it. Thanks Rad

Actually, it isn't in the FAQ page. It's a recent development; I'm sure that Alaundo and Tethtoril have been quite busy and forgotten to add to it. It was changed in the Welcome section (of which the Inn is a part) because a lot of people were only greeting newcomers because it gave them another point on their post counts. Alaundo changed it, and then sat back and waited to see how long it was until someone noticed it.
By the way, Alaundo -- how long did it take us? I never thought to ask at the time. |

Have I also noticed that the second post of a "double post" doesn't count, or am I dreaming?
I was dreaming. I wonder how hard it is to configure the forum software to ignore "double posts". |

| You know, replying to your own post. Some forums disallow it entirely. Mostly sites where people get all jacked up about "rank" and "level" I imagine. |

Yes, I agree. The entrance hall is much more calm now, with all the scribes back in the rest of the library.
(Plus, it allows for an "incidental" area to post things that are felt not as worthy of raising the post count. I use it as such, anyway.) |

| That is a something i will agree with as well. I personally believe we are a forum with a wonderful reputation. It should not be spoiled with pointless topics in the wroing area. |
Some believe there is something more after death, if you really want to find out... go kill yourself and stop pestering me. |

| Actually, that's one of the reasons my brother, the Dragon of Justice, left the forum . . . he didn't like the idea of so many rules in what he thought should just be a fun place to hang out and talk about the Realms. |

But on the other side of the coin, having rules has great benefits....remember certain rogue scribes that caused havoc here before!? |

I wasn't objecting.
(Actually, I think it has to do with him being a cop. I think he gets sick of all the rules at work, so he wants to have a nice, chaotic outlet. Or that's part of it, anyway.) |
