    Replies do count towards post count. I'm not really sure what you're driving at.

    I think you can link at like ten post. Not an unreasonable measure for prevent spam at all.

    I don't think I've started a thread, not sure what my post count is. Replying to this seems the easiest way to find out If it is zero then you are correct, if it is considerably larger then you are wrong.

    You need 10 posts to post a link, it's just to make filtering bots and spammers easier since you get usually get them banned before they reach 10 posts.

    I'm sure if you ask nicely a Mod/Admin will link whatever it is you want.

    From what i read it seems like you're saying replying doesn't count towards your post count? It does, You get a post count everytime you comment except from in Fun Stuff in Offtopic
    Edit: Wrong section

    Stop replying in the off-topic section? Those replies don't count.

    The Off Topic posts count as well, or I'd be at more like 500 posts

    Off Topic does increase your post count. I think Fun Stuff doesn't, because it can be a bit spammy. I've gotten 99% of all my post count right here in Off Topic.

    I'm catching up to you, Spec!
    'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes
    All lookouts clapped on Paradise
    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    Based on his post count and his post history, it also isn't counting replies in Guild Recruitment.

    Fun Stuff doesn't count towards your post count, unless you're a Super Moderator or an Admin, in case people were just wondering.

    I know there's a few more forums, that if you post there, won't count towards you post count, but that I really don't know now.
