Post count should match actual post count #229

Closed Critter closed 11 years ago

Critter commented 12 years ago

If you look at my profile /critter, it just looks like bad math. Deleted posts, should be deleted from the total post count.

I'm not saying we won't change this behavior (and I'm not saying that we will) but I'm going to link to a recent exchange about this exact topic for context: https://alpha.app.net/mthurman/post/1400917

Since it's still public that you made a (now deleted) post, it makes sense to make the full total available. But the total excluding deleted posts is also useful. I suggest providing both counts after issue #96 is fixed (FYI, I suggest opt in for fields you want).

Since we don't plan on changing this behavior any time soon, if at all, I'm closing this thread.

mthurman commented 11 years ago

We've made this behavior change: user.counts.num_posts now only refers to the number of undeleted posts for a user.
