Taking a positive spin: the original poster (no pun intended) might be
trying to separate concerns, putting the authentication,
authorization, and accounting stuff in User, and the stuff having to
do with posting, in Poster, thus preventing a common antipattern of
User becoming a God Object.

I started doing something similar with one of my side projects, until
I found out that Heroku now limits the databases of free apps to a
number of *rows*, rather than *bytes* like they used to. :-)
