I have a forum set up so whenever there is a thread that gets too troublesome for the public forums, it gets sent there to die out. My question is, how can I make it so that posts in that forum do not count towards a person's postcount?

I can figure out how to do that when someone makes a new post in there, but I'd like to make it so that whenever a thread gets moved there, the posts no longer count towards a person's postcount.

That's a bit complicated. What you want to do requires updating the counters.

You could make a cron script that updateds the post counts every day or every week.
Be aware that this could be a bit resource intensive, depending on the amount of members and posts you have.

um....you can turn off if a forum will count toward a user's post count so just turn it off in that garbage forum. then just run the update post count in the "update counters" section in admincp

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
