Why does my post count remain at zero

AI Thread Summary
Post counts on the forum do not include contributions made in the General Discussion and Politics & World Affairs sections, which explains why some users see their count at zero despite posting. Only posts in specific forums like Forum Feedback contribute to the total count. The forum prioritizes quality over quantity, meaning members are recognized for their valuable contributions rather than the number of posts they make. Members with consistent quality posts can earn special designations like "science advisor" or "homework helper." Overall, the community values meaningful engagement over sheer post volume.

Why does my post count remain at zero...

...when I've clearly made several posts under this account already?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Posts in General Discussion don't contribute to your post count
 
Posts in GD and Politics & World Affairs Forums do not count - since they are not Math and Science - but posting in Forum Feedback does - so you now have 1 post.
 
Thanks, that clears up all of my confusion haha. By the way, nice blog entries Astronuc.
 
Post count isn't as important here as it is in some other forums. We don't rate members based on post count. It's quality over quantity here. :smile:

We *do* reward members with a track record of consistant quality posts. These members will have ribbons such as "science advisor" and "homework helper".

Haha well I'm nowhere near close to getting one of those ribbons, but science is of my interest which is why I'm glad I found this community. :smile: I thank you for welcoming me in.
 
If it is quality over quantity, I must be in trouble...
