Basically when a thread gets deleted and you had post(s) in that thread, your post count will go down accordingly. I'm going to give you an example:
Lets say Member XYZ makes a thread. You reply 10 posts in that thread. For some reason, if the member XYZ deletes that thread (Assuming XYZ is Premium), your post count will drop by 10. I have a HUGE "thread dump area" where I dump threads instead of deleting them. My moderators know to put the threads there too. It's usually member's deleting old threads for whatever reason makes your post count drop. Two main causes of post count drop are:

a. When a premium member deletes a thread you had post(s) in.

b. You're violated forum rules in post where Moderators deleted your post.

Hope this clears up any confusion you're having
