front page news comments not counted as real posts


Recommended Posts

Why are front page news comments not counted as real posts? (They don't show up in "My last 10 posts" or "All posts by a member", which makes them difficult to track)

I think they gave a reason a few months ago. Something about spamming or something, I'll hit the search engine.

The comments are pretty much always spam and are hardly ever moderated.

We have recently taken steps to correct that problem.

They do count towards your post count.
That is correct.

Because they are not in the forum, and while the news system and forums share a userbase, that is about all they share. The posts are stored in a different table.

it's more of a technical reason why (board integration) rather than on purpose. But as Chode said, who really gives a ****?

I don't because I never post in the front page. I just read the news and then I read the useless comments they post there.
