    I have total of 41 post according to my statistics (manual count), but only 26 counted, why is that? I assume almost half of my posts been deleted fo some reason?

    They don't get deleted.....they are still there. Your posts count recognizes only the longer posts you make. That way some posts say for example "good job" and that's all a poster wrote, don't tally up the official posts count and give a person ten thousand posts when all they say are short messages.

    Off topic posts don't count either (The Bucket).

    This is indeed correct. Not all post count in every forum. :)

    I see, thanks guys. The reason I asked is I got some stuff for sale and seems like I'm better off just to ebay it :)

    This is not accurate, however, short posts such as you mentioned are considered to be post padding and will be deleted if the mods feel that they were made solely for the purpose of accessing the Marketplace.

    The rules we have for selling are not unreasonable. If you only want 3Reef to sell things, then I would agree. You should sell on Ebay.
