Also, mods CAN see the exact post count. The below is what users look like to mods:

If the person in the image below had more than 100 posts, then it would show the exact count in the yellow box.

I don't know… very strange.
You can see your posts here though: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/search/?action=show_user&show_as=posts

It's so that newer Scratchers aren't alienated when they see experienced users with enormous amounts of posts.

$(".box-head")[0].textContent = "committing AT crimes since $whenever"

To educate people over-addicted to big numbers. Though I still see people who posts a lot of … posts just to get a 1000+
