For some reason, I was docked 33 posts this morning. Was there some system problem?
TIA for any assistance.

Lost Posts
- Thread starter BSAGuy
- Start date
I've lost posts before when they've moved threads to different forums. Some of the non shaving related brotherhood type forums don't give you post count credits for posting. A total guess on my part, but I'd suspect they moved a thread or two that you've been posing in to one of the brotherhood forums that doesn't give post credits, causing your post count to drop.
I don't pay much attention to my post count once it got above the point where the titles stopped changing as frequently. I do look at other's sometimes (in addition to their last activity date) but only to only make sure they're active enough here to risk sending them a passaround box.
A while back when they moved a bunch of stuff all at once there were some threads created because everyone was wondering why their post counts dropped so much all of a sudden. Mine dropped several hundred at the time.
I don't understand why every post on the forum doesn't count but it's not my call so I can only assume that they have a good reason.

David above is right.
Some sections of the forum do not count in the post count. If some of your posts (that count) are merged in an area of the forum where it doesn't count, then your post counter will drop. The other way around is also possible where you posted in an area where posts are not counted, moved to an area where it counts will up your post count.
The first scenario would explain your current situation.

Cool. Thanks for the scoop, guys. Much appreciated.
It's probably because you swear too much in your posts and had to be edited. 
1. Collect BSAGuy postcount
2. ??
3. Profit.
You have 25,380 posts (as of this post)..... does 33 really matter?
And seriously how did you even notice? Is your post count the first thing you look at when you log on?
I believe it was intended to discourage people from spending all of their time in certain areas and not contributing to other areas of the site.

I went down triple digits when they made the "lunch with Ouch" section not count
Worse is the lunch with Ouch lunch...it costs you years off your life.
???
Why would anyone (mod, B&B in general, or...anyone) want/need to do that? This is a forum...one should be able to poke around and linger anywhere one pleases. And how would this "feature" prevent such behavior?...especially if nobody knows about it.
Surely this can't be the reason. I'm compelled to throw the BS flag on this...

People would actually have to care about their post count for that to have any effect.

There was a thread about it last year - http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/401994
I took that to mean there was too much time was being spent in the C&B threads instead of other threads. What else could it mean?
Post count???
who needs a stinking post count???

I agree. Looking at the count is just another outlet for one of my many mental frailties.

Well played, fordfather. Well played.
I found your lost posts, and a few extras!
This is proof to me that the grass being greener on the other side is just a myth.
This thread has gone polestal.
