Title: Lost a Post and Lost my Status! Post by: RustyBits on May 16, 2019, 05:06:13 PM I have not been here in a few weeks or more - busy with other things. I had exactly 60 posts and enough merit that I was a bona-fide Member! I came over today to look for something specific and was going to scroll back through some of my prior posts to try to find it. On my profile summary I saw that I was only credited with 59 posts! One of them disappeared and I don't know when, how, or why! So that's also when I saw :::GASP::: that I was demoted to a Jr. Member! (Oh the horror!)
No big deal. I'm just wondering out of curiosity - under what circumstances does a user's post count decrease? I didn't delete anything myself that I am aware of. Was there maybe something removed by a moderator, or maybe an entire thread that I had posted in was deleted and I was docked as a result? As I said, it's not a big deal. This post should bump me back up in status either way. Title: Re: Lost a Post and Lost my Status! Post by: bitmover on May 16, 2019, 05:12:25 PM No big deal.

Everyone has his own posts deleted sometime. Title: Re: Lost a Post and Lost my Status! Post by: harizen on May 16, 2019, 05:14:15 PM ... under what circumstances does a user's post count decrease?

Those you have mentioned are the reason. Anyways, you should rank up by now. You can lock this thread now. Title: Re: Lost a Post and Lost my Status! Post by: bones261 on May 16, 2019, 05:25:29 PM To add to Bitmover's explanation, if you didn't get notified about it with a personal message, then the most likely explanation is that a whole thread that you posted in was thrown in the trashcan by a mod.
