  • @WillMelling made a snide remark skillfully directed toward me.
    I was impressed enough to wonder if he had posted anything else similarly iridite

    If you click his profile it shows 4 conversations.. which I assume means he has started four discussions.

    But if you then search for them
    type:conversation authorId:82436

    Only one is returned..
    Not sure if its a bug or maybe he deleted three of his authored discussions.
    Even if he has.. still not sure if its a bug

    The sum of items created and comments made is a total of all such things that have not been deleted or moderated regardless of whether or not you have permission to see them.

    The search results are the result of the things that you have permission to see.

    Thus, if you made a sum of all comments for all forums, you may notice that it does not match the number of comments on the home page. Why? Because you don't have permission to see them all.

    Every forum has permissions, and some are private (or semi-private... just not full public).

    No answer is given as to which items are not public.

    And it is not considered a bug, as the metrics are merely to show a level of contribution to the community at large, rather than the individual contributions themselves.
