Kurgan Posted May 8, 2003 Posted May 8, 2003 I pruned one users's posts (via their own request) and thought "updating post counts" would be a good idea. Seconds later I realized it wasn't, and cancelled... But I think about 2000 users had their post counts 'updated.' What this means is that any of them that had "combined accounts" (when the move was made from individual site forums to "lucasforums" the giant mega forum... some accounts we deleted and "combined" by editing the post counts in the admin forum) will now have post counts that are their TRUE post counts and not what we'd made them to be (the bad side effect being any combined accounts will now be lower than before). Credits won't change though. So anyway, any admin can go into the panel and modify the post counts manually to fix them. I'm really sorry about this, I feel like an idiot. So if anybody has a problem with their post count, talk to me or another admin. Again, sorry... won't happen again.
Metallus Posted May 8, 2003 Posted May 8, 2003 Kurgan, you're just going to have to field the complaints then, I think every admin will make this mistake at some point. Just pay attention to help/feedback and watch for threads about post counts. Or, you could post a thread yourself explaining the situation.
Kurgan Posted May 8, 2003 Author Posted May 8, 2003 I think I will post this thread a few places.. So I'm not the only one huh? Kinda takes the sting away. I'll gladly fix anybody that asks.... ; p
Zygomaticus Posted May 9, 2003 Posted May 9, 2003 Darn!! I used to have 6000 odd posts, now it's down to only 4000 odd!! Just kidding...almost fooled you into giving me an extra 2K posts, didn't I Anyway, like Metallus said, mistakes are made - 'tis all good with me, atleast
swphreak Posted May 9, 2003 Posted May 9, 2003 you're only human.... or are you? You deleted some user accounts? I'm down with that (as long as it isn't mine)
Surfnshannon Posted May 9, 2003 Posted May 9, 2003 don't worry we won't get mad....heck why is post count so important to everyone anyway?

WolfmanNCSU Posted May 10, 2003 Posted May 10, 2003 I will always have a whopping low number of post.
Silenthunter Posted May 10, 2003 Posted May 10, 2003 Originally posted by WolfmanNCSU I will always have a whopping low number of post. Yeah, same here. But you know what's funny? I have more posts than you but you have more points than I do. Interesting.

Interesting. It's probably because a larger portion of his posts came after the implementation of the points rule. Same with me. I've got gallons of posts, but still, fewer points than most people with smaller post counts than me...
WolfmanNCSU Posted May 10, 2003 Posted May 10, 2003 And I have not bought much with them. Only a glow name I think. Just hording away for a rainy day I guess.
Rogue Nine Posted May 11, 2003 Posted May 11, 2003 Points? Blah. Post count? Blah. Registration date? Oh yeeeaaah.
