Title: Incorrect post count
Post by: Little Mouse on July 01, 2019, 12:24:58 PM
Rizzrack (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=241548) has 10 posts but I can see the post count is only 1, check his posts, it's 10 but on profile page it says 1 only. What's wrong with him?
Besides, he is a newbie but wearing an avatar.

Maybe he deleted a load of his posts and the forum hasn't recalculated them properly yet. He has ten merit so I'm guessing at one point he had at least ten posts as well. The account is probably hacked. It's registered on February 06, 2014 but hasn't made his first post until April 01, 2019 so maybe he deleted all the existing posts to try cover his tracks. Email was also reset recently: This user's email address was changed recently.

The account is not hacked, I can tell you for sure (he's part of Cryptios) :) This also happened to me in the past as you can see here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5058163.msg47706701#msg47706701) but not to this extent...must be an error of some sort because, even though the post count decreased overnight, we did not delete any post.

Rizzrack  is one of the Members from Cyrus " Cryptios " and working on Account recovers  !

I noticed as well after leaving the reply in the other thread. That is weird but assumed it is a bug of some sorts. Probably will drop theymos a PM to ask for more details (no pressure)

No posts deleted. No hacker here ! Just the original owner :) Just was on read-only mode until Cryptios (https://cryptios.com/)  ;D

It shows now 12 post for Rizzrack (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=241548;sa=showPosts) yet his summary of posts still counts for 3, 40 now for alanst (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2243418;sa=showPosts) yet summary still at 35 posts and 56 for 3dOOm (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2288758;sa=showPosts) but summary of posts still at 55 at the time this reply been posted.

It might be some bug as Rizzrack mention too, hoping it will be clear to us how it happen. This users are valuable to the forum as theymos mentioned on one of his threads that handles the account recovery system.

FYI: The humans handling the new account recoveries system which was implemented late last year are a company that Cyrus created called Cryptios (https://cryptios.com/). alanst, 3dOOm, and Rizzrack -- the "mysterious newbies" who some people noticed -- are three of their employees. They've been doing a great job.

Although Cyrus created the company with bitcointalk.org in mind as their first customer, they are accepting additional customers. Their main specialization right now is high-security, social-engineering-proof customer support & community moderation.
