The sub-forum 'general' is where non-linux non-tech etc questions go, and posts to that subforum don't increment your post count.
Anything else is should be related to linux (or code) and is ok.
Besides, the LQ culture is that post count (and post titles) are a fun thing, not a serious thing. If you like, ignore them. Don't take them too seriously, don't trust high posting members unnecessarily.
