Hey everyone,

How come I only have one post credited to me?! Am I doomed to be a perpetual "Newbie" on this forum?

Well, yes.

You must post outside in the real reason for TechIMO, The tech stuff.

Welcome to TechIMO.

posts to community don't count. It was mentioned in another thread you were posting in I believe. Maybe take a peek at the FAQ.

Gomer didn't tell you the whole story I'm afraid.

The post count may not go up if the respondent is deemed unworthy of credit for his contribution. Fret not, I lost over 3,125 points in my first year..

Also there are more detailed explanations for post's credit and status graduations.

The parameters and requirements for the status changes are reviewed and approved or disapproved by the TechIMO elders, "OWO" otherwise known as "the Old Wise Ones"

Depending on the flame count, the post veracity and the general credibility of the postee, reduction or credit is established prior to the advancement from one level to the next.

the Old Wise Ones will reduce the post count as needed to prevent the unwarranted advancement of postees to preserve the quality and overall usefulness of the forum pages.

Postees who repeat the same infractions of the unnamed rules are subject to secret and unknown punishments in addition to the reduction of credit numbers.

These terms are of course including parameters and behind the scenes blackballing but these are not limited to the heretofore mentioned accounts.

Limitations are subject to change at any time without prior or subsequent notice.

The staff of the old Wise Ones is mostly secret and the majority of them have checked off as wishing to remain nameless.

This presents a difficulty in knowing whose rectal area with which to provide the necessary negative pressure forces to continue onward and not be cast into the unknown abyss of darkness .

Overall the post count is not the main contributing factor in reaming in good standing. The rejection value diagram that the Old Wise Ones have contrived is a self graduating, side parallel, quantum obricle which is "e ez da-lir" to the point of moot.

Several studies have been contrived and the OWO in charge of the phanzte study is Outpatient.

Unfortunately he is at present unavailable due to his re incarceration in Bellevue in upper NY.

Granted the upmost that any one member can contribute is the best way to remain in good standards with the OWO therefore remaing at the previous post count without any demerits being credited to his/her account causing a falling of the count to a point of negativity.

If the count goes into negativity then the members pen name and password are hereby revoked, permantly.

Several charts are used in the reduction methodology the worst being an "Aawsheet" .

One of these removes 100 posts, so it pays to read and re-read to make sure that none of the OWO cabinet members takes offense to the threads inclination one must make sure his verbiage is articulate, crisp, concise and to the point of complete and utter veracity, scope, completeness, accuracy, timeliness, and how it fits into the other postees responses.

In closing make sure the post is placed in the proper forum, this horrid and unexplainable error is sure to get a "Aaawsheet"

Have fun
