The post count issue appears to only affect those who make worthless posts. 
Bah! It affects everyone. Now we're free to act like noobs again, with the benefit of what the dumbest questions are to ask!
You had no idea there could be LESS than worthless posts, but we're here to show you it can happen, Tiny Tim.
Also, you're wrong. It appears to only
affect post whores like Mission and GG. Myself....I could give 2 shites about my post count. I happen to think this is the funniest prank Saint's pulled on us in quite some time, and enjoy his sense of humor.
It also makes me happy that it's eating mission up inside to lose all those posts
