Hi all,



This may be an off-beat question:



Is there any way to set up a forum, or group of forums to NOT add to post counts when users post there?



I'm asking because I have a "Forum Games" section where people can play games such as "The person above me...", etc.



However, since I have various ranks and privileges based on those ranks, I don't want users to be able to go to the Games forums and just spam games to gain a higher post count, and therefore a higher rank.



Is there a way to have forums NOT count towards post counts and/or ranks?



Thanks! :)

There's a radio option for this in the forum editor. Just to to the admincp, then click forums&moderators>forum manager>edit forum and set 'Count Posts Made in this Forum Towards User Post Counts' to 'No'.

Thanks so much, MoMan!

I feel stupid for not finding that sooner.

I appreciate your help! :)
