Suggestion - Dump

Posts in Dump do NOT count toward total post count.

Personally this would make sense to me as posts move to the dump are usually regarded as crap, hense it does not edeserve a + to post count.

If the topic is worthy of post counts yet still crap, that would be spam right?

Would it be possible to stop the post counter in the dump?

Why don't you try explaining why post count in dump hurts so much? I consider dump pretty much along the same lines as temple..... it's all jibberish.

That is what you think... autopruning has not been enabled on these forums for several months, if not close to a year...

the public dump is cleaned occasionally, but not automatically...
the hidden dump is not cleaned at all...

also, we checked, but could not right now find anything that could disable posts moved there from counting...
