[Q] Posts made in Q&A not contributing to 10 posts? topic

Hey guys, I've been a member for a few years now but have never posted because I didn't have much to contribute at the time. Now that I've decided to post, I'm restricted to the Q&A threads rather than development threads. However, the posts I make there don't count towards my 10 posts? Kind of strange, I was hoping to hit that amount so I can post relevant information to ROMs rather quickly.
