Post Counts - OzChess

Hi Alex,

Love the site.

But I think I have found a problem.

It currently says I have made 12 posts.

I'm pretty sure it's really 3 or 4.

Just putting it out there for your attention.

Thanks chessnpokerchick

That is done on purpose actually. Posters with a post count of less than 10 sometimes have their posts picked up by the spam filter if their posts contain certain keywords. Because spambots usually only make a few posts, the filter is primarily designed to target them - and has saved this site from large volumes of spam since it was installed.

However, real people who become new members also tend to have a post count below 10 initially, so the inflated post count simply exempts these members' posts from the spam filter.

Once your real post count exceeds 11, it should start counting properly mate

Ah, I was wondering about that myself!

I can't quite remember but I thought I started on 0? Maybe it was 10...

If you are real person and a new member, I tend to increase your post count to 11. When you've actually made 12 posts, the post counter returns to normal. The increase from 0 to 11 exempts people from the spam filter, which scrutinizes posters with a post count below 10.

Oh, so you didn't think I was actually real? Or you still don't? I mean Ax would claim that I am actually you!
