In this link (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=25657&highlight=user+post+count) Kier explains how the users post count is affected by the prune threads system:

Yes, this is a design feature - when you delete an individual post it will decrement the poster's post count by one, whereas if you mass-prune threads, the posters' counters will remain constant :)
This is because we assume that a single post being deleted will be an act of moderation, while a whole load of threads being pruned is an act of maintenance (albeit not an entirely necessary one... many vB boards never prune old threads, as there isn't a massive performance benefit in doing so :))
I have a question on this though that i've been unable to find a solution to by searching.
I have used the mass-prune feature to remove a large number of posts, but how can I have this reflect in the individual's post count ? ie if a user previously had 1000 posts and I have removed 100 of them, how do I have the member's profile show that they have 900 posts on the forum ?
Cheers!
