small chunks of my post count seem to be disappearing

I thought older threads didn't get deleted since they don't necessarily slow down the hype so much.

I haven't posted here in a while but i keep noticing my post count depletes, which would only make sense with the deleting of older threads (since i don't post in newer ones), so I don't seem to understand why there have been drops in my post count still occuring...

any insight would be appreciated, thanks.
 
After age 50, you start to shrink as well. Maybe the guys who figured that out can fill you in.

:csad:
 
I was born 4 years late.

:huh:
 
really on a large scale of things when it comes to its value across the whole universe?????


yes

Inflation keeps shrinking the relative value of the post counts.
 
Threads are occassionally unapproved while in the trash can which means any post in them is taken off your account. It is only done to spam or flame threads, so think more carefully about where you are posting
 
Thanks for the reply, although I don't know what you mean by 'unapproved'

I mean if these must be threads at least 8 months old and they are well buried in the hype (possibly closed already).

you do have a point but this is like the 5th time and i don't think i participate that regularly in threads of that sort, especially with only a few posts being contributed each time (i'd either post quite a few or not any at all).

also unnapproval of a thread happens such a long time after the thread is no longer active, wouldn't dealing with such a thread on the spot be more convinient than going through them when they potentially are no longer 'harmful' etc...

ps, i'm just asking, please don't take my tone as being rude, i'd rather just know, especially since i've seen people keep inactive accounts and their post counts for much longer periods of time than myself.
 
The unapproving happens shortly after the thread is moved to the trash, and everyone in the thread suffers, Mods, Admins included. There have been no cases I know of of the threads being unapproved 8 months or so after the thread was trashed. If you are losing post count, it is from current threads and not old ones. Like I said before, be careful of where you post and you won't have this issue.
 
But that's the thing, Odin's Lapdog has been properly inactive for a long period of time, the only posts i've had in the last 6/8 months on it are purely to keep topping up my count that drops ever so slightly.

it was fine for about two months and then it dropped again.

That's why i decided to make a thread about it. It's not like those threads are large 'game threads' or anything along that matter.

the delayed response just seems a lil odd.
 
There are times when an old thread with objectionable material (that the mod's may have missed before) gets bumped by someone...and we now see the objectionable material....so it is removed.

Aren't you guys supposed to get that material all the time?

Do we need new mods?

Gee...why didn't we think of that...actually go out and look for objectionable material...what a revolutionary idea...I'd never have thought of doing that.:wow:
Now let's take a short break from this fun sarcasm.

Surely you have been here long enough (with all of your names) to have heard this speech a thousand times....we can not read every single post made, as they are written, it sometimes is a while before they are seen.

You must be short on time to repeat yourself in the same thread.

I only have one name.

(1) Yep...I'm busy searching for evildoers in the SHH Universe.
(2) It was a representation of the answer that we have to repeatedly tell people on here.

If you say so jonty30.

I no longer use that name. It is dead to me. It's not as though I'm Kypade/Spawn or Odin's dog/November rain.

I must have really caused a rift in the Hype when I changed my name because everybody keeps bringing it up.

It doesn't matter if you still use it or not....I said that in the amount of time you have been here "under all of your names" you should have heard this before.

Our entire faith in the order of the universe was shattered.

I did hear you, but I misinterpreted your comments. I thought you were accusing me of using multiple names at the same time as some posters do.

It seems that way at times, because everybody keeps bringing it up.
 
If you post in a thread and then 3 months later the thread is bumped and subsequently deleted and unapproved, you lose those posts from 3 months ago.
