Why do my posts not appear under my total?

[Battle Angel]

Because the Void is for spam and test posting?
Why should people get a post count for spam?

It's the same on many message boards. What would happen if a member wanted a post count only to get into a privlaged area and spammed the Void with two word posts like

Testing 1
Testing 2
Testing 3

only to get up to 100 or so posts to gain access to a feature or special area then act like they're a few brain cells short of a pair while in the special area or have that special feature.

And post counts don't really mean anything unless they're used to permit automatic access to features, groups, or areas in a forum. All that counts is that we all have fun.
