Post count in threads

Hi MN Admins - I have a question for you.

The maximum post count in threads is 1000 posts, that I am aware of.

My question is in relation to duplicate posts and if the duplicates are brought to your attention and subsequently get deleted does that affect the post count in a thread?

Should it affect the post count?

Hi @LookItsMeAgain,

Ooh, that's a tough one. I think the post count would remain the same, because when we withdraw a post it's technically still part of the thread - with the username and time of posting listed, but with a deletion message saying 'Message withdrawn by MNHQ'.

Is there a particular thread you're concerned about? And is it because you want to squeeze one more post onto the thread?

Thanks for clarifying, LookItsMeAgain,

If an OP needs to post one more time on a thread (to link to a new thread, for example) - we'd be able to edit the final post on the thread with a message from MNHQ to steer people in the direction of the new thread, even if the final post isn't an OP one.

We're sure whoever puts the last post on such a thread wouldn't mind us intruding
