Hello..
I've been noticing that The moderators of the forum are very active nowadays, and they constantly removing the old and dead threads..
I am part of SafeDice signature campaign. which is being Managed by SFR10..
so when I've noticed that my posts count getting lowered because of those moderators actions on old topics/threads.. I've sent a request to him to Adjust the Starting Post count again accordingly because some old threads removed...
Before I go further, I want to add some reference here to clear things little more:
1: Safedice Campaign's Participant Sheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1o8ZmoGRx7xZl6x8tyJ68RC0PhSgep82Ix11PW3XWKes/edit?usp=sharing&pref=2&pli=1 (Archived:
https://archive.is/8ENRN)
in the spreadsheet my post count is 937..
2: My profile Link:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=121917 (Archiveed:
https://archive.is/aYCVD)
where it showing my last post count 944..
3: Link of My posts Page:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=121917;sa=showPosts (archived:
https://archive.is/nbPZB)
So, If we see the spreadsheet and see my normal profile: 37+7=44. it show that I've only 7 new posts in the current week.
but if we see my posts in posts link.. you'll know I've 10 New posts.
(last pay day was 18 August. please count posts from 19 Aug)
But when I discussed that with my(campaign's) manager and try to explain the situation and request to fix this:

Snip...
Thank You bro..
Now I want to bring your attention on a small thing. due to removing the old posts constantly the post count is getting lowered everyday.
my post count in the sheet is 937. but because of removing some old thread now it is 935..
(it will drop more,)
so, I request to please count my posts from 19 Aug(from next day of last payday)
I'm sorry but unfortunately I can't help you on that matter since others have asked for the same thing (in past) but the starting post count at the start of the round will always be the accountable one (regardless of threads or posts being deleted from that moment on wards). Best solution would be to not respond to duplicated threads / old threads with many pages / threads that require less quality (since these are the kind of threads that get deleted most of the time).

You are not understanding what I want to say.. my old posts are getting removed. because they are in dead threads.
I am not posting in dead threads now. but some old posts are surely in the dead threads. that's causing the post count down.
post count will constantly get lowered, no matter if I don't post in duplicate threads anymore.

SFR10:Actually I perfectly understood. Like I said: starting post count at the start of the round will always be the accountable one (regardless of threads or posts being deleted from that moment on wards). Meaning, the post count you ended up in your previous weekly period, will always be the starting post count for current weekly period (no matter old or recent threads get deleted, the basis will always be the starting count on that particular weekly period).
The second part of my previous reply was, just to give some pointers so you wouldn't end up having your post being a collateral damage on the process. Threads get deleted all the time (old and recent ones). It's not a new thing since if you check mod log, you'll see there's 106 deleted thread recently, that's why I said before, always post few more in case such things happen (deleted posts/threads or moved threads).

Me: It means you won't actually count posts. you just using the starting numbers on spreadsheet and then see the final number of posts in user's profile an subtract..
for example:
if you check my profile you'll see that
I've wrote 10 posts so far after the last pay time. but according to your spreadsheet(where my post count is 937) I've only have 7 posts.. so You will ignore my 2 posts. right?
it means so far 2 old threads get removed.
and if by chance 20 posts removed at the end of the day. you'll deny my payment no matter if I wrote and have 20 posts. but just because my final posts count still show 935?
is it fair then?

(that 20 thread removing sentence I've just used for example.. but I meant it. so far 3 thread removed BTW)
SFR10:If 20 post suddenly gets deleted then that's your own fault for making those kinds of posts on those kinds of threads (your past action will always hunt you back so you have to pay for previous actions). When you make those posts, you also got paid (in which you shouldn't in the first place) so it would be fair for you to pay (be punished) for the consequences of your previous posts until you make up for the loss posts. If you don't like the way I manage, your free to join another campaign by tomorrow but, FYI all other campaigns handle this matter exactly the same.
Last tip:
Before you join any campaign, take some time to re-evaluate your past posts and delete low quality and unnecessary ones (also those posted on threads that would go against forum rules). It shouldn't take more than half a day (I did this myself and deleted around 600 of my own posts that I thought might get deleted due to those reasons - from my early days on this forum), so I encourage you to do so.

sorry for my rude words.
This Logic and Policy completely Blown Up my Mind., how could a campaign manager punish me for those old posts which I've wrote around 3 year's of my forum period and which completely doesn't belong current campaign(or may be they are)..?
I believe my those posts didn't removed because those posts are off-topic or spammy posts. but the whole threads got removed because the threads got out of dated, and the question on those thread have been answered.
Finally I want to ask all campaign managers that how do you handle this? how do you count posts? (the the bold sentence in SFR's final messag)do you also ignore posts of current week just because some old posts got removed and post count got lowered?
