Negative Comments?

[Fifty]

How is it possible to have negative comments? Especially when the person in question is such a friendly guy?

Spoiler Semi-big image :

Seriously though whats the deal???

 

[Ginger_Ale]

I was wondering when someone would notice that...

I think it came about after I made a comment but then deleted it. Or perhaps I deleted it twice, due to some glitch.

We could always try negative postcount as an experiment.

You could make it be special, even though people can post as many comments as they want, they will never post negative coments!

I believe TF said it was impossible to get negative postcount, even with a glitch.

You could with a cosmetic change.

(Apparently.)

Great thread title, Fifty! I bet you just posted for the humor factor rather any true curiosity.

Possibly there are many more such oddities that go unnnoticed because of larger post counts? 0 to -1 is noticeable, 585 to 583 after deleting one post is probably not going to be verifiable. Oh, well, just a curiousity, I suppose...

But while 585 to 583 is possible, 0 to -1 is impossible because you can't delete no posts?

Exactly. TF actually explained this right here in Site Feedback not long ago.

If there was a glitch, it would involve fourm games. There, you can post, but PC remains the same.

Forum games is in a separate category, it shouldn't effect postcount one way or the other.

But, when the mock parliament was deleted, everyone who had posts in the PC- free zone lost PC.
I know it's a special case, but....

Knowing about the parliament proves my lurking skills.

 

[CCRunner]

There were quite a few threads there deleted a while ago mad but nobody lost any PC that I'm aware of. I guess it is theoretically possible but I highly doubt it.

Knowing about the parlment proves my lurking skills.

Knowing how to spell parliament would prove them even more
