What the heck is going on?
Okay. This is no joke. My post count is about 300 higher than it's supposed to be.
There are more... Pytt, TD, JD, Valandil, Mercutio, the list is endless... Nurvs is up by about 2000! What is going on! Does anyone know? Does anyone else have a problem?

Mines up by about 50-100. Not much compared to others, but it has still been tampered with.

we have been h4x33d! I bet Sauruman has some dirty tricks to do with it, trying to destroy the ents for ruining Isengard
 I should maybe feel sad, but it is actualy quite nice to have more posts than I should does someone know who/when/why this have happened?

It doesn't make you look like a spammer, Pytt.
Is this someone's idea of a joke?   Four months till April Fools' Day, everyone... Why right now?

Funny. I checked people's post count this morning and found they had been altered. Now that I checked them again, it seems like they've been altered even more. My count for instance had risen to 2200+ this morning and now it's risen a bit more.

I just jumped from 967 to 1010 in one post. I'm keeping an eye on this now, I know that was real.
[edited] Thanks, Merry!

At the time I am posting this, I have a post count of 69 (will be 70.) It should only be 59 (now 60.) I would like to know the reason this is occuring.
Thank you to anyone with an answer. |

If none of the admins can figure out how to get these spiraling counts under control, you may get there yet!
Wonder if it's some kind of virus or something...

It seems it'd be no use for me to defend myself I've already said I don't think it's a problem related to admin powers. The admin log of the CP doesn't register any entry about inflating postcounts (well, except mine own and a few more )Right now what I'm thinking about is if may have to do with the effect of large threads in the database... If we do not control spam it may have bad consequences. The existence of threads like the Teacup Cafe, the Venting Thread and the Welcome Thread should be reconsidered.

 So this is just some clever scheme to close down the Teacup Cafe, is it...?

 You may not believe me but we, the mod team, are discussing this sudden bunny-like post reproduction and looking into ways to solve this.
