Not sure how the post count got to be recorded that high in the first place for that user (investigating) -- had no posts at all when I checked moments ago -- so I've corrected it.

6% of 0 is 0. OK then.

I highly doubt it -- the account was only created today as Gramps alluded to.

That is a bug due to overflow, which happens when two moderators delete the same thread at once. Then post count is reduced twice for the thread. And if post counts go below 0 they jump to 65536. That user should have been banned, and not be displayed in the user list.

I am just wondering what happens if you make your 65537th post. Does post count drop then to 0?

Good eye. Fortunately, it can be ignored (internal testing by a fellow administrator).
