I notice that I have users who’ve only posted via email replies, and they show “Replies Posted” as 0.
They have a last_posted_at date, but their post_count is 0.
(What exactly does last_posted_at represent?) [1]
I’d imagine this affects progress towards badges and cheers, etc., and I’d like to see these users get their “credit” for posting. I also don’t want them caught in any cleanup operations focused on stale users.
A note in this topic from July 2021 suggests that emailed posts should be, or could be, counted among other posts:
Is the exclusion I’m seeing a bug, or intended functionality?
Not all active users have a
last_posted_atdate; not all occasional email posters havelast_posted_atdate; somelast_posted_atdates correspond with thelast_seen_atdate. So, no idea what this field means. ↩︎
