Disable post count per forum

[robertw795]

Disabeling this feature without editing the core files is indeed not possible, but you might be able to achieve this using a (not so pretty) workaround. You can implement a front-end hook in the createcontent.php that triggers as soon as anyone posts a post and pass along the post data as a parameter. Using the ancestorId's array in the post data you can determine from what channel the posts originated. Using an if conditional you can then catch if the posts was posted in an unrelevant subforum, and if so subtract 1 from the users post count, this way when the post will be added to the postcount, the postcount will remain as it was before.

EDIT: The postcount is found in the user table in the column posts
