How does one have -32 posts on a2k?

Just curious. Stumbled onto this profile along the way of trying to find an appropriate (already open thread) thread about racism when I came upon this odd a2k profile quirk.

Even if admins deleted ALL of his posts (clearly not in this person's case as he still has several existing posts in his posting history)? Wouldn't that bring his posting total to zero?

@tsarstepan,
I'll bump this up. Maybe somebody important will find it.

@roger,
Right you are! As a self proclaimed impertinent - I mean important person, I will give my idea.

I have seen this sort of thing a few times and I think what happens is a person registers, makes posts which are against the TOS here and so they are removed. However, the number of posts register doesn't have a way to go in reverse so the count remains.


A way to test out this theory would be to take a Spammer (there are several in the late hours). Their posts get axed. Bookmark their profile and look at it in a day or so. If the count remains and the posts do not, then you have the answer.

You could be right. As for the rest, I doubt I'll remember all that.

But that doesn't account for the negative number (when his profile still as a positive amount of posts). Just curious about what seems to be a posting count glitch.

@tsarstepan,
I'm curious, too. Makes me wonder about how accurate the rest of the post counts are.

@tsarstepan,
It could be a net total of sorts. Say the user has 10 posts, but the total shows -32, so the net posts made would be 42
