What does it mean if your post count goes down?

[AfterBurn]

Sorta lost here and everytime I post it gets deleted on the board :S.

[soma616]

it most likely means that either some of your posts were deleted (redundant and inflammatory posts) or a thread you posted in was removed.

in this particular case it was because you attempted to hijack a thread that hadn't been posted in for 3 weeks to ask for admin rights.

in the future we ask that you start a new thread and send all admin requests to staff@spawnpoint.com.

thanks, and welcome to the community.

Mhm allright, but it had posts in it before I posted it was at the top of the board so I decided to ask oh well.

[soma616]

i know you're only 15 so i'm gonna give you some free advice. pick your battles wisely. you're not gonna earn much favor arguing with a mod.

and i'm just trying to teach you some forum etiquette. don't hijack threads, especially one that hasn't been posted in for more than two weeks.

Hi Afterburn,

It's nice to see you on the forums.

However, as i indicated on my e-mail reply to you please make "relevant" contributions to the forums in "current and up to date" threads.

People seem to reckon that if they "spam" 2 dozen posts onto any and every thread that they automatically will qualify for admin.

Wrong!

And by the way *whispers* Don't upset Soma as he's the guy you need to add you to the zombiemod admin brigade *whispers*

Have fun, read the forums (there's a LOT of good information on here) and i'll see you on server soon.

I just wanted to add a quick note about old threads...generally it's best to leave old threads alone and either post to more current ones or start a new one, but there are some that are perfectly ok to bring back up, particularly in certain sections of the forums. For example, if you were looking through the Ask A Tech section and came accross a thread that talked about a computer issue you were having, but the solutions people gave in that thread didn't seem to help with the problem you were having (or caused a new problem to pop up) then feel free to add on to that thread. There are also a couple of threads by myself and Saphire asking what kinds of things people would like us to write articles about, and either of those is fine to post to at any time no matter how old the last post was. Oh, and there are 2 threads in different sections for people to post pics of their computers, so if you want to show off your rig you can feel free to post to either of those threads even if they are old.

I don't want to speak for any of the other moderators or staff about which types of threads (if any) they wouldn't mind people bringing back even if they are old, but the examples I gave are specific ones I know were intended to be running topics that people could post to at any time.

Allright I completly understand. soma im 16 btw thanks . I appriciate the advice.

All admin requests need to go through the "apply for admin" link on the servers page. Here is the link to that page:

No more requests through email or in the forums, please.
