rev,

i was wondering if someone completely delete one of their posts, does it come off their post count? i don't know why this just popped into my head

You really don't have a life, do you???

no just too much thinking in my "second" office

I don't really know. Test it out! (can you delete your own post?)

The bigger question is "Do you get another post if you delete your own post?"

I've noticed that when moderators delete undesirable posts from users, that that user's post count does not actually tick down, but the posts no longer appear in that user's 'show all users posts' list.

I've had to delete a couple of posts over the last few months, and I noticed that your post count does not decrease after you delete the post.
