i was just checking this new post and all of sudden i saw so much posts ?? :O then i also saw that that guy is banned :S
but how is that possible ??



 
Its a bug.

The maximum number of posts possible are 2^32 = 4,294,967,296 .

Sometimes when members posts are deleted and the thread is also moved to Trash it accidentally deducts 2 post counts for the same post, and the member's post count goes into the negative. So here, when it drops below zero.. it starts counting down from 4,294,967,296 ;)
