Negative posts?
« on: August 29, 2014, 04:05:06 PM »
How do some member have less than zero posts? It makes sense that a post would be deleted, but you can't delete past zero...
I did search, but couldn't find anything. All I found was "mole snacks" and related.

So who has negative posts?  You're correct, that's impossible.  Mole snacks is a rating system applied to the quality of anyone's posts.  This is applied to any member of this board, by any member of this board.

Well, that's strange... A few weeks ago I could have sworn I saw a few people with less than one post, while browsing the members list. I cant find them now.
Perhaps I'm asking on the wrong forum...

Oh, that's a funny one.  Yeah, maybe other forum software stores posts in a funny way i.e. deleted posts as reducing your post count.  Heh.
