I have been deceived!!!
If I ever get my way, I'll have Zovall tweak the post-counting code to ignore consective posts by the same person. This will cut down on the post-inflation.
I can dream...

On a technical note the ROI on such an enhancement would be negative. There are 2 ways of doing it that I can think of, and one would cause the performance of the forums to tank, and the other would take a longer-than-wanted development time to get right and would probably be really buggy for a while. When you look at the ratio of the number of consecutive posts by a person to total posts I'm fairly certain it would be more effort than it's worth.
Indeed...you can dream.
But keep dreaming and posting ideas. It's still a decent suggestion even if it's difficult to implement.
Hmm...I wonder if a moderator's deleting of a post subtracts it from the person's count? (Or is it like the Ferris BuellerCorvette Ferrari on cinderblocks?) That could be some incentive for manual consolidation if I were so motivated. :coolsmirk:

I guess I am mouthy. Verbose.
What's thread spamming?
I'd like to see a category between starter and McMansion.
Living with parents is a bit
much. How about fixer-upper? Zero lot line?
Townhouse?
And something at the very top.
White house, as someone posted a while ago. Buckingham Palace?
Chateau? Chateau with moat? Gated community?

Yeah, but your subdivisions wouldn't mean anything to me.
And actually, I had a lot of work last week. Thought I had a case
settled where we were quieting title on a tax deed. The tax deed
foreclosee had put some concrete blocks on the property and then
some fill, and then the genius put the fill around the blocks. These
things are really heavy. They aren't very expensive, but my client sez
he's afraid that in removing them the defendant will damage the
neighbor's wall. And leave a hole, which may cause the masonry
wall to tilt.
Anyway, this is South Florida, right? Home of the weird. The tax
deed foreclosee made a deal with a realtor(tard) that the realtor
would pay the taxes in exchange for a 20% interest in the property.
Oral. Which is verboten in real estate.
Anyway, the realtor paid '03, but not '01 or '02, or for that matter
'04 (or 5,6, and 7). So a tax deed was applied for and after vigourous
bidding, the previous owner wouild get roughly 5 times the 69,000
he paid for the vacant lot. But no, he thought it was worth 700
grand.
My client hires me to quiet title, and I honestly thought he was dead.
Who buys a big--2/3rds of an acre--lot, with no mtg, and then just
lets it go? So I do my due diligence, and I call the Seller. Who knows
the broker, not sure if it was the same guy who didn't pay the
taxes, who calls the prior owner.
By the way, the prior owner didn't get notice because his address wasn't
put on the deed.
Also, his name was mis-spelled on the deed, his last name is Gonzalez, first name
on the deed starts with an E, instead of an He. He never checked that
either. The atty who prepared the deed is now a magistrate, and all
his files are destroyed. (Actually, what seems to have happened is
he put them in storage and didn't pay the bill.) The only address was this
atty's, and he claimed he never got a tax bill. Somewhere in the middle
the address was changed to the atty's new office address, and nobody
knows who did that.
Turns out this is a hot topic, and the courts are becoming extremely
reluctant to let the tax sale buyer keep the property, no matter what.
Anyway, the judge, who is smart but flakey, feels sorry for the defendant,
and we are off to the litigation races. I work like the devil and produce
a pre-trial catalogue, which is a couple of inches thick, not including
all the case law. The atty for the broker and the former(?)owner are
not sending me theirs. Then the atty for the broker calls and sez
that the owner's atty has retired and gone to Panama, without
withdrawing or anything, abandoning his client,
and that's why we haven't got the paperwork!!
We settle, except for the verschugganer blocks and then (expletive of
your choice) around arguing about the blocks, for weeks. Finally,
the other sides lets go and we have a deal. Oh, well, I get to charge more
money than what the *())^$@$#$% blocks could possibly be worth.
But a lot of testosterone got to be spewed.
This has nothing to do with anything, but this is my litigation weird ante.
Anybody got weirder? Not divorce or criminal, but plain ole real estate.

Sorry for the highjacking.
I didn't abandon my client.
Alas, I am on a medication for which I am not supposed to drink.
And I like to drink.
Sigh.
How about Villa? New York Mansion. (Has 5500 sqare feet at minimum, and is at least 25
feet wide.)
