Remove post count for specific user

[innersanctum]

Is there a way to do this so I can eliminate only a specific user post count? Here is the scenario:

I have a forum where a bot posts rss news feeds. I don't want the bot to accumulate posts for these messages. However, I do leave the ability for others to respond to these posts and post their own messages as well in this particular forum. I would like all users except for my two bots to be able to increase their post counts.

Make sense? Can anyone can provide a hack for me on this? Greatly appreciated.

sorry, didn't see this thread during my holidays

actually it's very easy.

open includes/function_newpost.php

find this:

PHP Code:

        // get usergroup info
        $getusergroupid = iif($bbuserinfo['displaygroupid'], $bbuserinfo['displaygroupid'], $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']);
        $usergroup = $usergroupcache["$getusergroupid"];

        if ($foruminfo['countposts']) 


and change into

PHP Code:

        // get usergroup info
        $getusergroupid = iif($bbuserinfo['displaygroupid'], $bbuserinfo['displaygroupid'], $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']);
        $usergroup = $usergroupcache["$getusergroupid"];

        if ($foruminfo['countposts'] AND !in_array($bbuserinfo['userid'], array(xx, yy))) 


and replace xx and yy with the userid's of your bots
