Do not count posts in the Scam Reports section

[Jimmy]

I don't think that you should count the posts in the Scam Reports or Scam Reports archive section. It artificially boosts post count for those who have reports created.

same for suggestions section too

The amount of posts you have isn't some sort of status symbol. It is a count of the amount of posts you have made. If we stop counting posts in specific sections then that number becomes inaccurate.

Does the message count matter that much. Just shows how many times people have posted. If this happens that number will be incorect.

In scam reports, there's the fact that M6 needs to approve your post. So post-farming is NOT an option.

well in that case all reactions should count towards your total.

The amount of users who are so insecure about their post to count ratio is ridiculous. Your reactions (and posts) are just numbers! I don't look at you differently because your numbers are greater or lower. Coco is a great example of this, even before she was a staff member, she had under 100 posts and I'd trust her while doing a deal. Hell, Ajdin even told me he'd revive an old thread that was declined about removing reactions count. Your posts, like many others said, should be accurate.

I'll have to disagree here, people COULD just create hundreds of fake scam reports however the community would just look at him as the "fake scam reports guy" and so his post count would be meaningless.

I don't think this is a good idea - a post count should be a post count!

I agree, but I don't run the forums so all I can do is disagree with suggestions like this.
