Good answer, thank you. In short, posts that are system-generated from a Classified ad into the "items for sale" subforum do not add to the member's post count.

To the OP's other point, if you do see a suspicious ad, please click the red triangle to report it. We have had scammers and spammers post ads and we respond quickly to remove them.
