When a thread gets deleted, do we lose all posts made in that thread from our post count or do we get to keep them?

Er no - I'm more or less certain that deleting a thread doesn't delete the post count. Good thing too, otherwise I would never have got the custom avatar...(+1)Comment

As far as I'm aware, your post count is decreased whenever a thread or your post has been deleted. I think that I've observed it...

NO... when a thread or post is deleted, it DOES NOT change your post count. Once you have posted, it counts. Unless you are given a PCR (post count reduction) by a mod, or the Data Base screws up, your post count never goes down.Keep on Civin'

I've occasionally noticed my "ranking" in the members list jump up or down a place, with no obvious reason. The people directly above and below me do not change, and I see no uberspammers that could account for the displacement.
Do you often augment post counts, in addition to giving PCRs? If not, any ideas what could be the cause?One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

IIRC, the fact that post count doesn't go down when a thread/post is deleted was a large part of the reason that posters aren't allowed to delete their own posts; if they could, then they could go to a rarely used forum (like Civ-Mac) and spam to their heart's content, delete their posts before a Mod notices, and make Deity overnight.<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures

When Ming deletes one of your posts, he take a small part of your soul. When hes has deleted 1024 of your posts you become a cyber rodwraith, totaly subject to the will of the holder of the one master banning rod.

Heh. If our PC would go down when a thread is lost, then what about the myriad of old threads not archived? I doubt we'd have Deitys here at all.

When you move a thread from the OT to the On topic, does that add to people's post counts?

Nahhh... It's a matter of where the thread is when you originally post to it. If it's on topic, you get a post, even if the thead is moved to the Off Topic forum later. And you don't get a post if you post in an Off Topic thread, and then it is moved to an On Topic forum later (rare event...VERY RAREOriginally posted by DarkCloud
