^ Because they are irrelevant to the forum's main topic (RX7's) and post count is there to show your contributions to the forum.

Mods correct me if I'm wrong.

That is correct.

Also there are some sections (such as the lounge) that may get a single member posting 50 posts a day, and none of them have anything to do with anything.

Since many people (wrongly) associate a large post count with either a large E ***** or someone that actually has contributed to the forum, it makes no sense to reward them for just making a bunch of useless posts in a non technical section.

Sometimes people delete threads so your posts go with that.

We actually need to review this and change the regional sections to NOT count towards it. We have members with 6K+ posts and all they do is spam in the regional sections. Mainly the damned SoCal tards.

I think not all posts will count because they have to be approved. That would be my best guess. Hope everything works out for ya!
