Posts made in the link exchange forum are no longer counted in post count.

This is to prevent spammers building up reputation by just spamming the forums.

This was decided because people were spamming the link exchange forum and it was filling up the "new posts" feature and annoying people like me and others who weren't interested at all in link exchange, but were forced to scroll through lots and lots of posts on the subject.

I despise the link exchange forum personally and I think its good that posts are no longer being counted or added to the new posts area from there.

Whym has explained that the moderator team has come to a decision not to include posts in the RLE forum against a user's post count. The reasoning is twofold. We don't see much value to the community from posts in that forum, mostly we just run it as a service to help like minded individuals find each other and do their business. Also many people have complained about the overwhelming number of posts in the RLE forum. Because of these two things, the group has decided to leave free access to the link exchange forum, but not to count the posts.

Out of interest, do you mind if I ask why it's a sad confused emoticon that best describes your feelings? In other words, why is it you're hoping to increase your post count?

Thanks Moderators, Great Information,
Learning Newbie, I was confused on that time, I don't think this is a good idea, need to stop "spamming".
Well okay, no more questions.

Thanks for your reply.

I didnt realise that feature was installed, but i think its a very good one indeed! the more we can do to eradicate spam, the better in my opinion
