Topic: Can activity back to 0? - page 2. (Read 356 times)
Why not you share the full profile maybe we can run a thorough test to know if such person deleted all their post. However account rank are subjected to merits and activities, if you had the required merits and you have no post and activities you would still remains in Newbie or Jr member account ranking only work when you have the required post and activity collectively dependent of each others. I think the second poster already explained it to you.
Is it necessary to reset all activities to be accepted in a signature campaign?
No, it is not necessary. I've never seen anyone "reset" their activity to be accepted in a signature campaign.I think what he did made the other members suspicious, when he deleted all the old posts, maybe there is another goal or there is history that he wants to erase
both assumptions could be true. you should ask him directly if you are curious about the reason why he deleted the majority of his posts. 
Activity works by taking the number of posts you have made within a 2-week period (capping at 14) and adding it to your current activity, which starts at 0. These values are stored in a database and updated with a script that runs periodically every other Wednesday.
This is not accurate. Activity is updated every hour. Activity is updated every hour.
If your post count is smaller than 14 * number of two-week activity periods in which you have been active, you will see that your actvity will increase after every post you make.
If your actvity doesn't increase after every post you make, that's because your post count is equal or bigger than 14 * number of two-week activity periods in which you have been active and you have to wait until a new two-week actvity period starts and you make a new post in the new period.
post history and easy to accept on signature campaign manager since some of campaign manager consider post or activity to merit ratio.
Would this really be effective and useful for the user in question?
I imagine that managers will check messages on Ninjastic anyway, and there they won't be deleted. So I wonder what the point is of doing this in order to be accepted into campaigns if you really have something to hide?
BobLawlaw did the same years ago when he had some serious disagreements with other members and wanted to abandon his account but he does love the forum so he did not leave us after all dramas.
His account
If you have your topics, you can not delete them and with very old members, they likely created some own topics so they will not be able to delete all posts including opening posts. Hence their activity will not drop to zero.
If you see any member with 0 post, 0 activity, with or without merit, it is like a nuked account. Forum moderators have nuke buttons.

Why do members do that? I think everyone likes it when have a high rank
Feel free to ask the user for yourself.Why do members do that? I think everyone likes it when have a high rank
Usually people do that — to delete their old posts that are somewhat low quality when they are just starting posting here OR they are trying to hide something, who knows.
He will need a lot of time again to get a high rank since he literally reset his forum rank the moment he deleted his post that is attached to his activity count. Maybe he is trying to start fresh on his account to have a good post history and easy to accept on signature campaign manager since some of campaign manager consider post or activity to merit ratio.
Is it necessary to reset all activities to be accepted in a signature campaign? even now he doesn't have enough rank to sign up for a campaign. I think what he did made the other members suspicious, when he deleted all the old posts, maybe there is another goal or there is history that he wants to erase
He deleted most of his old post that result to lose of his activity. The post above of NotATether explained already how activity works. I deleted too some of my old post that result to decrease of my activity from 1000+ to the current count. You will notice that his post count=activity on his profile which means he delete all his previous post which is very painful to do because there’s no delete all post feature on our profile.

If you delete all your posts, yes your activity will go back to zero.
Activity works by taking the number of posts you have made within a 2-week period (capping at 14) and adding it to your current activity, which starts at 0. These values are stored in a database and updated with a script that runs periodically every other Wednesday.
So mass-deleting tons of your posts will lower your activity and consequentially your rank on the next Activity update cycle.

Today is not beautiful enough for me. I was surprised by a few things on the forums that I thought I understood. I found something strange again. I think so
My question is:
1] How could this happen?
2] Does he delete all posts and activity will go back to the beginning?
3] If I'm not mistaken, he should at least be a hero member
4] Is this normal? or am I the one who doesn't know about phenomena like this?
