    Just wondering is there any way for a user to request resetting their post count? I think mine is too high.

    It'd be nice to have an option to set it to private.. I think someone asked before though and was told that it wouldn't happen

    I just checked: when you delete a post, the count is adjusted. So why not delete a few thousand?

    It's possible.
    I can't remember the circumstances surrounding it, but an Admin once reset mine to 0.
    Any change in status will automatically reset it to what it should be, so you woulod have to continually pester the Admins to keep changing it.

    Cos users only have a short window to edit/delete posts for the obvious reasons, you should understand that spending so much time on political themed threads :)

    Jayze, lads, I was only having a bit of fun. Could you picture WindSock deciding to reduce his/her postcount by 5,000, and selecting which posts to delete?

    I can't understand why anybody would be worried about the postcount being disclosed. Of course, I can understand somebody looking at it and concluding that he spends too much time here. But changing the record does not change the facts.

    I suppose its like clocking an old car, it's still old but at least it's not in your face

    should be possible to request a change of username and then create a new account with your old username, you would need to be a subscriber but would not carry over your sub to the new account or your mod statuses

    I'm not particularly worried about my postcount, and less do I care that I spend some time posting here. I just want to reset the count for no real reason in particular, I don't like seeing it rising so much I guess, but no, I won't post less crap to stint that :pac:. I just thought it'd be nice to start all over.
    Don't know about getting new username, Ghost Train, as I would have to log out & in again for mod stuff. Ah maybe it's an idea to get a similar name.

    As post count is directly connected to penis size is do not wish to have mine reset.

    That's why mine should be going the other direction, the negative side of 0

    /goes back to renew the campaign to have post count turned off for PI as that would easily drop 200k of posts from her post count.

    Quality over quantity.
    However, look to the left. :)

    Lads - It is not the quantity of posts you have, but the quality of what is in them.









    (Says the guy who obviously has a much smaller post count.) :o

    No. That postcount will always be a mark on you.

    It is your scarlet letter

    I think this thread has run its course....if it ever had one.

    quick synopsis: post count = number of posts you have made so no, we wont reset it.

    making it private? a possibility. I'll pass it along but its not currently possible nor is it likely in the near future. i think developer time is already pretty much accounted for.

    as for the rest... its quality, not quantity that counts :p
