Default Scammer issues... with a twist.(?)

I realize that we have had issues with scammer's;
Of late they seem to fit the pattern of sending a private messaging those of us who create "wanted" listings, and they tend to be fairly easy to spot;
But this has me scratching my head;



Here is a "member" who appears to be in good standing, can be found in the member list, but it appears as though they have zero posts - even though the attachment is a (modified) screen shot showing one of their posts.

Was this a member who was suspected as being fake, then banned, to later be unbanned??
And the posts become unlinked with the profile because of the banning??

If in doubt don’t deal.

I have no skin in the game.

I am just confused by the member posting, but with a zero post count.

Has nothing been done on an administrator/moderator level that might explain what I am seeing?

Post counts don't register in some of the forum sections. I used to think it was just in the Lobby and Clubhouse, but it appears they don't go up in the for sale / wanted sections either.

As I understand it, the general idea is so people don't try to inflate their post count by making frivolous or useless posts - they only count if you're actively participating in conversations that contribute.

/\ OH!!?

I had understood that they were not counted in the CH - not any other areas.

Thank you very much for your response

As Stuart has stated, the classified forums among other non-technical forums do not count your posts.

That strange no post count on certain boards. When you set the board up, you just click in the box.
