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.

If this occurs then a notification should be sent to the user to avoid unnecessary worries. As mods/admins recounts posts and it happens the real number of posts doesn't tally with the present post count the user should at least get notified of new changes and why the ended up with new values in their post count because some times i wake up to see my post count reduced but yet no notification and i wonder what post was actually deleted or moved.
