hi there!

hope y'll having a good today. i was in confusion like if we delete any previous post from Account on which we have got some merits....Deleting that particular post will have any impact on our total of merits like will its reduce or still remain as same as before? I thought i should ask it to the community so that it will add up to my knowledge and Information. If Anyone of you know about this please do lemme know Many Thanks

Deleting posts cannot affect your merit score. Even if you delete a post that was merited, it still wouldn’t reduce the current amount of merits you have. However, deleting posts can reduce your activity and that can also affect your rank in terms of activity level.

Smart question, I just thought about it now as I read this. I was also wondering the replies that will be given. Good that the merits will not be lost with the deleted post.
But another question is why you will want to delete a post that has earned merit? because a post that has earned merit must have made sense to be merited especially when it was merited more than once, and also a moderator will not delete such a post?

Your merit receiving is permanent and not reduce yet although with your post as source merit receiving have been deleted, I saw many user not only one post but also they have many post as source merit income deleted but their merit still existing and impossible reduce. Its not matter with post automatically delete by moderator or you try deleting post as merit source by your self because all your merit points are permanently. But looks not really good when some post as source merit income have been deleted, when checking merit distribution history see there with your post delete.

Don't worry with your 5 merit receiving keep existing if your post merit source will delete one day later,

Activity count is the one that can be affected once you delete a post that attached to your activity post. So be cautious on deleting post if you don’t want to rank down/decrease activity count.

Yes but if the user has got enough posts that can help him increase in activities after two weeks then it will not matter, so it depends on how many posts are deleted and the posts number of the user. However, op has asked a good question that will help other newbies who probably are thinking about that and have not made attempt to ask. So to Op, I don't think anything reduces the amount of merit you already have, even if the particular posts bearing that merit was deleted .

Just like most of the above said, Your merit count won’t be affected but take note that the description on your merit history will be (Deleted Post/Topic) which is not good to see in history since you usually get merit due to good post while deleting it will make the essence of merit waste.

Activity count is the one that can be affected once you delete a post that attached to your activity post. So be cautious on deleting post if you don’t want to rank down/decrease activity count.

If you delete the post, then your merits will not reduce, but I prefer you not to delete any posts, as I can see you have made not that many posts and the ones on which you got merits are also very low, so it's better not to delete posts. Deleting the post can cause trouble in finding the real source when someone tries to find that on which post you received the merits.

Other than that, I don't think there will be any problem for you, but it's totally up to you to either delete it or not. The merits that you have received will remain forever in your account, which means they will show the same forever, but of course the number of merits will be gone once you send them to anyone.

No. Merit on you account wont be deleted.

Can I be demerited or lose merit?
No, not currently. Even if your post is removed the merit will still stay.

Try reading those pinned topics that you see from the Meta Board if you want to learn anything about the forum.

Keep it up, and best of luck!

You typically cannot lose your merits. It's also written in the forum. It's irreversible. It will be there until the end of time until bitcointalk closes down.

Very good question for all newbies.
Anyway If your post gets deleted no problem, the merit of that deleted post will be credited to your account. Moreover, this merit will last as long as your account remains alive.

No impact on your merit, your merit will remain the same. I don't know why one will delete the post which recieved Merit. when someone gives merit on any post that's mean this post is some how useful for specific member or entire forum and after that any body wants to delete the it makes no sense.

If your post has been given merit and it is deleted, the merit that you were given will not be deleted. If your post has been deleted and it was given merit, go to your profile merit page and you will see the merit but the post as deleted.

No it won’t.

Deleting the post that gave you merit will have no effect on your total merit count, the only thing that might be affected is your activity count and that depends on some other factors too.

I have had some post that I received merits from removed after the main thread got nuked, and yet the merit remained, but if you check my merit history it will show you “deleted post”.
