My posts dropped a WHOLE lot, I was in the thousands now I'm in the 300s. Most of it came from Party House, oh well I don't care about the amount of posts.

They were not erased. they simply just do not count

The posts have not been "erased" from the forum, they simply no longer add to your post count.
EDIT: Aww,

Again, I ask: What's the big deal? The rankings never meant anything anyway, and if it did for some people...well, then, they should just re-evaluate what their purpose for coming to the forums is.

OMG I was kicked out of the military... Nooo!!!!!!!!!
I think I had 300-400 sth before.
I hope no one gets mad at me for saying this not that I care if someone does .... yet I must say...
It used to make me feel kinda bad when I see people with higher ranks than me just because they post in the spam central more than I do.
Must get back in the military!!!

The posts aren't gone! They're just not counted towards the amount of posts displayed in your user info.

I "lost" a little over 1000 posts myself.

And the date you signed up for the forum is displayed right by the ranks and everything, so there's nothing to worry about.

I actually lost around 3500 posts, believe it or not.

Then again, that's probably mainly from closing/merging/etc. threads.

WHAT IS THE POINT OF DOING THAT WHEN POST COUNT DOES NOT MATTER? STOP MAKING ME REPEAT MYSELF.
WHY IS IT SO SADDENING THAT SOME OF YOU HAVE "LOST A LOT OF POSTS"? IN MY OPINION, I THINK WHAT IS SAD IS THAT YOU ARE SADDENED BY THIS BAGATELLE.

Does that mean it's bad to post on spam central?
mei_tenshi
Sep 16 2005, 04:41 PM
It's not bad if you post responsibly (and that goes for any other section of the forum, too--not just Spam Central). Spam Central is for threads that don't fall under any of the main categories, but that doesn't mean that you can or should make pointless threads/posts or attempt to chat via posting. By making it so that posts in Spam Central don't count towards the ranking is meant to discourage such behavior.

In cause someone else also has the same problem.
Zarpia
Sep 19 2005, 07:52 PM
uh...did you read the first page? or the [second]? the post that you had in spam central have been [erased] from your total post count, and posting there will not increase your post counts anymore.
I hope i said it right, if now feel free to edit this post.

It isn't a problem, merely a new forum setting.

@
