    It's possible if you go back and delete old posts apparently. The post count goes down but the thanks count remains. A bit sad, frankly!

    on the topic
    I have been a member here for quite a while, but not posted much.
    I thought I might get involved more though...
    I posted on a thread today about benefits and 2 or 3 people [one especially] have made the most judgemental and rude posts I've seen on forums of this kind [i.e. which are set up to help]

    I wanted to discuss debt elsewhere on here, but now I feel that these members who are all superior in attitude, will just pounce and criticise me for having debt in the first place. It really feels like an unfriendly place to post on now, although I'm sure it's not and I saw really sensible knowledgeable posts on that thread as well.

    This sounds wimpy, and I'm not really - but I am really stressed over the debt and illness and stuff - and I'm sure there must be many in the same boat as me, if not worse.

    How are these people continuing to post?
    The first rude judgemental post I saw from one was made weeks ago.

    If you want rude, go to Discussion Time, though the word 'discussion' should be taken very loosely.
