<…> This is the beauty of our merit system, It can’t be remove no matter what happened to the original post.

It can, though only in rare circumstances. On a few occasions some sMerit TXs have been deleted by the Admin; in others a TX with a negative amount was generated to counter a positive sMerit TX. Most of such cases are probably listed or pointed to in this post.

Regarding the OPs question, the idea is to show the number of aggregate merits for the deleted posts in the self-moderated thread as depicted here.

In addition to what PX-Z.

All the deleted post with merits will record on your merit history as “Deleted/Off-limits/Ignored” instead of the original of the thread when you made the post.

Nope, the merit stays.

Probably the forum show the "amount merit deleted" is to let people know if the @OP might misuse his moderation power because "merit is for high quality post", so if @OP deleted a merited post, it could be a something wrong i.e. he didn't accept a criticism, but someone might send the merit by accident or they just want it because merit is subjective.

No, merits will remain the same thoughts as there's no "demerit" feature here, it's been discussed so many times. That "merit deleted" is confusing and probably admin @theymos have to do something about it.

I think this thread belongs to Meta instead here in B&H board.

If this topic has been discussed sometime in the past, I will lock it and read the comments on the previous topic.

I am curios to know if merits can be deleted. From this self moderated mega thread, the notice on it simply reads, "This is a self-moderated topic. If you do not want to be moderated by the person who started this topic, create a new topic. (170 posts by 1 users with 9 merit deleted.)" Does this sentence in any way implies that merits can be deleted if the post by a user is removed?
