Hello guys, in my community there is a “presentation” category, and a lot of people say “hello”, and other messages.

So I have an idea:  
Is there any chance to config the category section to no count posts by user?  
I mean, count topic created, but no for replays.

I remember that phpbb, or others forums platforms had this option.  
Why discourse not? 😉
