The English word "amount" is used incorrectly in the 2.1 schema. The proper word to use would be either "number" or "count of."

In English, if an attribute is a countable quantity, then one should use "number" to refer to that count. So:

  • On line 153, "The total amount of on this server registered users," should be: "The total number of registered users on this server."
  • On line 158, "The amount of users that signed in at least once in the last 180 days," should be: "The number of users who signed in at least once during the last 180 days."
  • On line 163, "The amount of users that signed in at least once in the last 30 days," should be: "The number of users who signed in at least once during the last 30 days."
  • On line 170, "The amount of posts that were made by users that are registered on this server," should be: "The number of posts made by users registered on this server."
  • On line 176, "The amount of comments that were made by users that are registered on this server," should be: "The number of comments made by users registered on this server."
