Sorry, but our software does not allow transferring posts from one account to another.

To reset his post count to zero, we would have to delete his account and all of his posts. That would delete any thread he started and all of his replies. That would leave replies that referred to his posts without the reference and make a shambles of our archived posts.

No harm in asking, but no can do.

Mod

I am considering doing this.

I think the official price for what you wish to accomplish is $1k, but I'll give you a 90% discount, so if you give me one Benjamin, your post count will become zero. It's an ultra hot deal, better get in on it before it's too late!

Because Ross likes to start stuff with you guys. He is imminently aware that his post count matters more to you guys than to himself. :D

Why not? I could start a trend!
And exactly why would ANYONE follow your trend?

If I slit my throat and started a trend, would people follow? The obvious answer is NO because it's stupid!

How can you compare an action which could end your life, to slitting your throat? You're sick. ;)
