example:
if someone posts in my games board thread their posts dont count
how do i do that?

Hi Shaibani.

There is no way to change the post count. But if you explain what you want to achieve, then there may be another solution to it.

On a side note: Would you be so kind to delete the image in your signature. It looks great, but it is more than a little distracting on a support forum.

Thanks in advance.

shaibani, please read this forum's rules regarding avatars and signatures. Both your avatar and signature need to be changed or deleted.

You cannot do that.
All post count, no matter in which thread or section they are.

Shaibani, I believe my reply and question became unclear.

What I mean is that if you, for example, want this for certain Ranks, then you can create Special Ranks, that are not connected to the post count. After which you create some rules for how to achieve the Special Ranks. Then you will have to upgrade the members manually, of course.

Thanks for removing your Avatar and signature image.

Shaibani, that's a phpBB forum with several Mods (modifications) that ForumUp doesn't provide. Nor do we install them on request.

So, if you don't want it for a reason, like Ranks, that can be solved by other means, then we are back to the first answer, unfortunately.

There is no way to change, or adjust, the settings for the post count. All posts will always count.

Some of the main reasons:

ForumUp rarely approves requests for Mod's. Reasons for this policy include, but are not limited to: Susceptibility to our security; Conflict with our normal regime of incremental phpBB updates; Conflict with our own 'in-house' modifications; and fore-knowledge of announced features in forthcoming phpBB releases.

To which should be added that we don't approve of any requests now, as we are waiting to upgrade to phpBB3. And phpBB3 includes many of the better mods for earlier versions.

Shaibani, you can have two forums.
One will be your regular forum and one will be for the games.
Post an easy to view link on your forum which will redirect members to the game sections.
The post from the games will affect only the number of posting in the game forum. Nobody will probably be interested in how many posts a user has there and your members won't benefit of posts that consist of no more than three words.
It is indeed more difficult and complicated, but there is no other way.
