Tim Smith Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I've been demoted about as low as anyone can go here on the Cakewalk forum. Tried to log on. Was directed to logon through Bandlab. After I logged on I realized someone stole all of my post count. 20 years on the forum as a nobody and now I don't even have posts to show for it. Who stole my beans? Bapu? That there post count sure did jump a lot in just a few hours. Now we know the REST of the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane_B. Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I lost over 7K. Almost 7.5K iirc. Oh well. It's not important. Nobody loved me there anyway. Sniffle sniffle. Here either. In fact I don't even know why I come here. Lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rather like the fresh start. My record has been wiped clean. It's a good day brother. I might as well follow it up by erasing any evidence I ever existed online. Easier said than done. I was not a hit on the CH because I was both too serious and too honest. I'm lower than whale poo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitflipper Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 The post count algorithm has been updated with the forum software's new AI plugin. Now, the number is incremented not by one, but rather by a value commensurate with the post's informational content. It can even go negative if, for example, reading a post causes the reader's overall mental performance to be reduced. In particular, each grade school-level grammar or punctuation mistake drops the value by 0.1. Phrases such as "ta very muchly" are tolerated, under a special exemption for regional dialects, along with "ya great 'airy yob" and spelling "fries" as c-h-i-p-s. Unless you speak Brummie (see Ozzy Osbourne) or Mississippi quasi-English, neither of which can be understood by anyone anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
