The rule is in place to twart spammers and bots that are able to infiltrate the forum.

As spammers and bots have gotten more sophisticated they tricks needed to twart them have increased as well.

Most spammers or bots will several posts, but rarely reach the "X" number of posts needed to grant them additional priviledges.

Any other questions?

Yes, there are certain places in the forum that posts do not count, specifically the Lounge and other non-contributory areas.

Additionally, post whoring to increase your post count is something not looked upon favorably, that's why some of your posts might have disappeared in general.
