If I remember right, 2 members on WP has negative posts according to the members list. How is that possible?

I have no clue. I ran a few ideas past Lau, a year or so but I am not sure if I recall what he told me. Or perhaps he didn't tell me. Anyway, I went researching old posts back from 2004 and 2005. It looks like they were asking 'how do you have -2 posts' even back then.

WrongPlanet Rules

Quote:

* Do not post just to post. Your post count can be reset if administrators feel you're doing this.

The "Post count" is not recalculated every time it is displayed - it is held in a user's data, and updated when they post - or when their posts are deleted.

I guess the negative post counts were suspected spammers, where Alex warned them, and reset their post count - but then subsequently decided to delete the spam messages.
