Is it a mistake, or down right cheat!!

Postby flabbyrabbit on Fri Mar 28, 2008 7:06 pm

I got a little bit bored and decided to have a quick look at how "webmaster" has managed to post 3503 topics. Looking at his profile http://www.devppl.com/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2 it says he has 3503 but with the search http://www.devppl.com/forum/search.php?search_author=webmaster it can only find 3495 of his posts. Fair enough i hear you say, but what are they all?? Click one of the last pages say 233, see any posts? I don't!! He has in fact only got posts up to page 156 thats 2324. I don't know if this is just a accident or whether he is "cheating"!!

Which ever way i think this should be changed immediately!!

This forum probably has a part that is reserved only for administrators and moderators and isn't visible to other members. It's nothing strange, all forums have that. Webmaster probably has few posts in that part of the forum, they are counted, but you cannot see them.

To be honest, 3000 posts in 4 years is pretty average or even below average. I don't see anything strange here.
Why are You pointing this out in the first place?
Post count gives You no gain, it's just a number.

But it is strange how he has so many posts under his name and doesn't have that many to show.

Maybe the forum has an auto prune system that deletes posts after a set amount of time, say 3 years? These posts would still be on webmasters post count but would actually no longer be viewable.

But if that were the case then surely all those pages would be removed aswell?

I really can't see what all the buzz is about? He's the webmaster, he can do as he pleases here.
If he wants his post count to be higher, it's his call.
If he posts in hidden subsections, it's his call.
