User
has_many :threads
has_many :posts, :through => :threads
....

Thread
belongs_to :user
has_many :posts
....    

Post
belongs_to :thread

Then you should be able to do: 

user = User.first
user.posts

class User
  has_many :threads
  has_many :posts, :through => :threads
end

User.find(params[:id]).posts

should do the trick unless I'm dain-bramaged this morning.
