Something weird has been going on with my post count. I've probably done about 25-30 posts, and ever since I did 19 posts or so, my post count hasn't moved. I'm not posting in any of the spam forums, so I don't understand why it hasn't gone up. I really want to sign up for plan 2, but I won't be able to if my post count never moves.

long as your post is above a certain lenght i think.....

well the thing is...
you can only make 19 posts in a period of time,
(i have to check how long that is)
because else people will do spam.

aw... that bites. I can do at least 10-15 good posts in a day if I'm in a good mood. and they aren't spammish, either. Oh well. I really want this hosting, so I'll do what I must.

I posted 11posts only, but my post count stopped at 10. Is there anyway, that you could make the limit higher? Because in a day, sometimes i can post 20times.. feel free to check my posts, you'll find them all spam-free

actually, i dont think that may be totally accurate.

i had the post count freeze on me after my 3rd post.
then it started moving again after my 6th post. and
it stopped again on my 9th post. this is my 13th post
but it is only showing as 9 in my profile. i hope it
starts moving again. i dont believe any of my posts
have been spam post and almost all of them
exceed 3 or 4 lines.

i agree it is a good idea to limit the post to some
reasonable number to prevent spamming.

but still, as the starter of this topic stated, i really
think there is something wrong with the incrementing.
perhaps, some forums were not included in the
post count increment.

posts in *some* sections actually are not counted. these sections (i don't know
which ones for sure) are areas where some friendly banter between members
go on, and does not really contribute much to qualify as a "good" post. the admins/
mods made it that way so members can contribute good posts in other sections
which really need attention.

but hey, don't worry too much about this post count increment since it's really
easy to acquire hosting here at trap17. most other forums-for-hosting require
much higher numbers of posts... some with 50 minimum even. a little history:
in the beginning, our minimum posts must be 38. but we still made good posts
then, and got our hosting.

sooner or later, you will forget monitoring those post counts any longer, as you're
enjoying yourself with topics discussed here at trap17 forums

I don't know if this is correct, the posts you made by creating new topics aren't counted.

yes i think you are right. no i am not so worried about
it that way. i was only afraid it would get stuck and not
increment at all, in which case i will never reach the
required count for hosting. but as it turns out this is
not the case and what you said about quality posts
in the appropriate sections is very true. however, this
present section does not qualify for such so called
quality posts. LOL. its all good.

[joecool]

well most of the other forums i am registered at theyre more strict.
like you can only post 3 post a day cause they had a lot of members and A LOT of spammers. so this is kind of an extented privledge if you will.
i just hope i dont over do it
