First of all, I'd like to thank Xenon and g-force2k2. I tried and failed at this hack, but they really helped me out. All the credit for this hack goes to them, only the idea came from me.
----------------------------------------------

We all know that sometimes there is a need to post a couple times in a row, whether it be multiple attachments, posting updates, etc. This hack will make it so that the multiple post* is not added to the user's post count, but still shown and updated in the forum and thread count. I know at some boards there is a lot of competition in post counts, and although doubleposting is not looked highly upon in most forums, this would ensure that the user isn't getting any benefit out of it. Plus people could use it for bumping topics, etc, etc, etc. This hack will also make it so if that multiplepost is deleted, it will not subtract from the user's postcount. Since it was never added in the first place, it shouldn't be a problem ;).

*This simply means a couple posts in a row by the same user.

NOTE: As with pruning posts, if you update your post counters, it will count the multiple posts. So if you do not want them counted, do not update the post counters :).

Please click the install button if you do in fact install this hack. You will recieve updates and such if there needs to be (although there shouldn't ;))
