How are posts calculated?

Postby destawaits » Tue Mar 08, 2016 2:44 am

I don't get it. How are posts calculated on this forum, i.e. I think that if I have multiple posts in one thread, I gain a total of one post from that thread.

Off topic posts do not count towards post count. This includes the lounge, forum games, and I believe off topic discussion. Although I am not sure.

So posting in any other forum adds to your posts.

?
I got one post for this thread... Before I posted, it read 23. Now it's 24, and with this post it's 25.
Plus, I counted my posts, having 39 posts total, and having 30 posts excluding Off-Topic posts.
I don't think I got any posts for posting in the FM Game Threads.

Can't speak for FM game thread. As many will tell you I am so good that no one wants me to play there /s

But I think you get posts for off topic then. There are certain sub-forums that give you posts. Others don't. Its just how it works. The 25 posts you have are from those on topic forums count to your posts. The others don't. Its rather simple.

The FM Game Threads USED to give you post counts back in the day, but nowadays they don't anymore.
Probably was changed as a measure to prevent pointless posts in game threads that clutter up pages and make games longer and more boring to sift through.
The above applies to the Introduction forum as well. (One introduction thread literally turned into a post-farming chatroom)

All discussion forums should give you posts, although taking my word for it is probably not the best.

I know the following don't increase your post count unless it's the first post:
Forum Games + Subpages
Lounge
Game Threads

Questionable:
Certain TG threads
Signups
PTR Threads

Increases post count:
Town of Salem forum
Feedback forum (EXCEPT Testing Grounds, which is a sub-forum of Role Ideas)
Public Test Realm forum
Discussions forum
Introductions sub-forum
FM Signups sub-forum
FM Discussion sub-forum

Does not increase post count:
Lounge sub-forum
Forum Games sub-forum (and all it's sub-forums)
FM Game Threads sub-forum
FM Mafia Night Chats (but don't worry about this one)
