Syncing my Forum?

Is there a way to sync my forums? There are many deletions of posts but post counts of members have not changed. Any help is appreciated.

Posts counts are not reduced when posts are deleted since technically the user still made that number of posts. So I guess a truer definition of post count is the number of posts a user has made, not the number of posts they made that are still remaining on the forum.

Here's an example of why posts counts are not reduced for deleted posts:

Let's say a forum uses the member ranks feature to allow a member access to a board, or other achievement on an rp site once a certain number of posts have been made. Should a deleted post(s) demote the user and reverse their accomplishment or again restrict their access to a board?

Ahh, I now understand, thank for your help.😉
