Stop post count decreasing when post deleted

[midash]

Hi do you know if there is a hack/mod that stops users losing post counts when a thread/post is deleted?

If so, could you please tell me where it is and what it is caled.
thanks

If you prune, rather than delete, the user's count remains the same. For us, we move all deletable posts/threads to a separate forum, and then prune when needed.

Uhm, I'd rather keep one of my poster's (namely Crothian) post counts within the range of a 32-bit unsigned intergrer thank you.

(We prune the boards every 6 months and he still has 30,000+ posts.)
