A thread with 20 of your posts doesn't have to be deleted to see this. The number of posts may be displayed incorrectly, recounts are made from time to time. There are plenty of threads about this issue.
People shouldn't be obsessive about post counts...
I did a global recount of user posts starting yesterday. Your post count had been inaccurate.
I think I have seen my post count shrink with 6 posts, which isn't a big deal for me at all, but I was wondering, how does one end up with an inaccurate post count?
- There are a few rare mod/admin actions which change your real number of posts but neglect to update your post count.
- Errors can occur which can cause it to drift from the real value.
- If your account is fairly old, then previous post-count recounts will have counted your MOVED: redirection topics, even though these are
not counted when you make them. I fixed it this time so that these topics are not counted, undoing the previous erroneous recounts.
