    I think it has something to do with the content of what you post??
    like mine is only 1st yr apprentice, but hay i don't know much about the tech side, but i am learning.

    Maybe someone could explain why not all posts count. ie, if i go into my "show all posts by" i have close to 65 posts but the post count only says 5?
    And before everyone says Read the FAQ... I have read it and couldn't find anything to explain that!

    Only posts made in the Tech and General Car Talk sections count.

    I suppose this deserves a new FAQ too...

    I'll confirm all the sections and then stick it up.

    This is a bad idea! How different is this to the old post counter?

    I can see your concern. It's not quite as obvious as the post counter though so hopefully won't tempt people into spamming.
    Plus if a user spams the forums, they should receive negative rep for it...

    On that note, where is the "ignore all posts by this user" function?

    EDIT: Found it in the FAQ.

    What are the buddy and ignore lists?
    The buddy list is used to keep track of the friends you have made on this forum. By going to your "My vB Home", you'll be able to see which of your friends are currently online, and be able to send them a private message. Adding people to your buddy list also allow you to send private messages to multiple forum members at the same time. You may add any member of the forums to your buddy list by clicking this button in a member's posts.

    Ignore lists are used for those people who's messages you wish not to read. By adding someone to your ignore list, those messages posted by these individuals will be hidden when you read a thread.

    While I share your hesitation with the post counter Shane, i'm with Nark. Hopefully by limiting it to useful posts in the important sections, and drilling those who abuse the forums with negative feedback, all should be good.
