Title: Something is wrong with post counts (again)
Post by: deisik on September 04, 2017, 09:12:35 PM
It looks like 170 posts of mine have disappeared today, but if I check my post history I see some glaring discrepancies. My profile page shows the following picture:

But if I go to the last page of my post history, I see the following (this was my first post here):

http://s16.radikal.ru/i190/1709/6b/a57c81063a37.jpg

Obviously 832 pages should give between 16620 to 16640 posts, so it seems that the profile post count is not quite correct. I don't know what's wrong, but something is definitely wrong with that

Yeah but deisik isn't a shitposter, so he probably shouldn't have had any of his posts deleted.

Mine are alright.  I haven't noticed them going down or anything.  It does look like mods are getting more active.  I just saw one lock a noob question thread after OP got his answer.  That's encouraging.

Not if the entire threads get deleted.
He often posts in threads where 90% of people write the same stuff to fill their sig post count.

This is not so much about posts deleted

As about the wrong post count in the profile page which mismatches the real post count as seen in the post history. I suspect it is sort of a forum engine bug or something to that tune (unless someone does something nasty, which I hope is not the case here). It happened before but I didn't check my post history back then, so it might in fact be a recurring issue, and thus no posts got actually deleted. I hope theymos will look into this matter one day

Just stop reading these threads

I think that it has been wrong for some time now or I am not keeping track of my post count. Mine is: 21351 vs. the profile showing 20718.

I think that it may even be related to the last time that the post count of a lot of people (including myself) has dropped. Theymos should run the recounting function of SMF; that would fix it if it isn't something grave. Then again, this is pretty unimportant. ::)

It is quite important for someone who gets paid per post.How else would they keep track of 40 shit-posts per day ?  :P
