Hi, I was just wondering why F7 posts don't appear in your post count. Could someone clarify this for me?

The topics in F7 are usually a little spammy in nature. The posts in F7 aren't counted to prevent people from spamming there so they can increase their post count.

Does posting in your own threads also not count?

I noticed if ever I posted in a thread I made then it doesn't seem to add to the overall post count.
I am a 30 year old gay male from Catalonia. I am a realist but philosophically that makes me a pessimist.
I am a Catalan nationalist, pro-environment, pro-equality. I believe in reason, not dogma. Earth is a beautiful place and I believe it should be kept that way. Was pro-EU until it decided that the democracy it supposedly champions does not apply to Catalonia.

Because TET is in NSG which is counted. We cannot turn off counting for a specific thread.

And moving TET out of NSG would defeat the purpose of TET.

But...than why don'y you allow F7 to be counted? Both seem rather spammy~

Just makes very little sense to me to say one type of spam is okay but another isn't...Chat about complete crap to your hearts content; but a randomtopic that you reply to is a big no-no? aha

Both F7 and TET often (obviously not always - TET has the upperhand in that) have the same amount of words in each reply.

Because TET is the exception. Nothing would be gained by turning on F7 post count.

But what is gained from having TET count to the post count? I'm not disputing it but i legitimately can't see the difference between TET and F7..

The difference is that TET is moderation-sanctioned spam, where the other is not.
I'm some 17 year old psuedo-libertarian who leans to the left in social terms, is fiercly right economically, and centrist in foriegn policy. Unapologetically Pro-American, Pro-NATO, even if we do fuck up (a lot). If you can find real sources that disagree with me I will change my opinion. Call me IHOP cause I'm always flipping.

TET has to be in General --> posts in General count --> TET posts count.

Like Blaat said, they can't turn off post count for a single thread.

No, this does not mean everyone can run out and create their own chat threads. There is one for F7, NSG, and Gameplay, and for now, that's all that will be running. Please do not go out and make your own. We still have to moderate things, and that's one of the reasons that chat threads are difficult - they move fast. Too many, and we'll drown. I hate drowning.

F7 posts are still counted, even if they aren't added to your visible post count. Go to a person's profile and you'll see.
Total posts: x | Search user's posts / y (y > x) | Including all posts

They're counted as a numerical value without value, meaning they have no real count at all, but just to say that you have posts that don't count to your amount of posts, and y would be the numerical value with value, the ones that do count to your posts.
Please do not contact this nation. Furry Alairia and Algeria is who you want.
