Here on this forum, we have at least two archives keeping copies of posts even if you delete them from your profile. So once you hit publish, you cannot really hide it after that.

Really! Can you mention the archives (the second one) where our posts are being copied.

I think for safety if you want to delete your old post to avoid ranking down you can report/request to mods to delete it for you.

I think if they will delete the posts for you, then it might be tag as spammy, I actually thinking to delete all the reports I have made for so many bounties I have joined back in time, I even found a way to delete it automatically (using a bot) so after finding a bot, I thought I should see, if it is fine to delete 600 posts or not Grin

I mean, if the moderators will delete them then it will look like I made those posts and they are spammy posts and of no use to the forum or anyone.

Well in case (they are just useful for the managers) just like the POA of joining any signature or bounty.

Well, I read many replies in this thread, and came to conclude that, we can delete our posts and it should not be a problem for us.

I thought, our posts are only saved in our draft which are deleted after 7 days I think. Wait, are you talking about the draft as the second archive? or is it any other place where our posts are saved?

It was a mistake in my life and I just brought my mistake and I will never make this mistake again.

And yet, you're still shitposting. Your mistake was joining Bitcointalk to spam hoping to earn money, while clearly you're too stupid to understand what you're doing.
You've created 88 posts and have 43 posts left. At least 40 of your posts were deleted by Mods. You should have been banned by now.

Of course I also want to know about this this is happening to me when I post my post gets deleted because my post doesn't seem to be up to par because someone reports my post also I don't understand anything now what should we do and what If we do, we will be saved from it

I'm even surprised that you noticed this. Honestly, your nonsense about the dangers of gambling in any topic is very annoying, and as you understand, your second account is also already known for the same actions.
I hope that this post of yours will really be a good starting point for writing normal posts. I have a lot of your reports of empty posts.

Edit: Unfortunately, nothing changes. This is your next post. Shocked

I know that if our posts get deleted by the mods and there are many of them, it means that we are making low value posts, they are being reported and eventually getting deleted. In some cases, we may get tagged by the DT members for being a shit poster.

Anyhow I want to know that if we delete our posts ourselves, does it have a bad effect on our account and can we still get tagged or something or it is completely normal ?

I think this actually depends on the post you want to delete, because sometimes I feel we do often have some old posts of ours that are not necessarily important and or maybe you accidentally type a mistake and don't feel comfortable the deleting it wouldn't be a problem but in case whereby you start deleting post that are showing some doings with your account and you feel you want to delete for privacy reason or others then that's a different case although they would be problem if it doesn't catch the attention of any DT or member but in situation when you did something and people starts digging into your account then I think you would probably get sanctioned or tag for being suspicious.

Not deleting posts will be better, as BitcoinTalk is allowing you to edit, why not edit? It would be better to edit than delete a post, and also mostly newbies don't know how to post, so they post wrongly when someone reports to mode, and then the post is deleted, it is also an alert for the newbie or poster to post something constructive and ask something that is according to the topic, and he should make sure that is not out of the topic.

But the only thing you have to be very alert about is copying some other's post, this will affect your account badly and after that, you can't post anything through your account. So, make sure to keep yourself away from plagiarism and not copying others, otherwise, you can get a strong penalty for it.

In these cases, you could find yourself in trouble even on a deleted post.

I tend to agree with you and that's why sometimes we think to let it be if you know your posts aren't spamming, trolling, posting malware links, or in short, not against the forum rules then you are fine especially, plagiarism which has a worse penalty. Remember those staff before hitting the post button.

So there's no harm in your account aside from dropping activity if you delete too much in your post.

You can get tagged for deleting your own post, it’s not against the forum rules. Deleting your own posts will only reduce your activity. It cannot be used as a reason to damage the reputation of your account.

I suppose the word here is can't as the rest of your write up connotes.

Hence, there is no law anywhere that restricts you from deleting your own post. Like it's been said over and over, it affects your activities in rear occasions but, that's more observed on beginners accounts. If you feel a post isn't in its place (off-topic) or just doesn't fit anymore, you can always save moderators the stress and just delete.

Then again, there are occasions when deleted posts could actually draw attention to your account and get people wondering what might have been wrong and even get into digging on you. This plays out in cases of;

1. Massive deleting of old posts:Here the idea is always about an account changing hands and as such, a user might want to establish a new niche and possibly, erase any ties to a local board or frequent board.

2. Obvious cases wherever being looked up: Here is often about plagiarism cases and attempts to erase the evidence. U fortunately, Ninjanistic space have got them backups, sorry.

In these cases, you could find yourself in trouble even on a deleted post.

This is not accurate.
Your activity is minimum of 14*number of two-week periods in which you have been active and number of your posts. So, if you delete some of your posts and your post count decreases to 100, your activity wouldn't be necessarily 100. Your activity will be a number between 0 and 100.

Thanks for fixing me there was a calculation error only which I fixed otherwise whatever I said was accurate. In order to earn 1 activity point a user has to make at least 1 post on the forum but the number of activity a user can gain is limited to 14 each two week period. And if we keep that thing in mind and suppose that a user who has been active on forum for at least 20 weeks and has made at least 14 or more posts per week during those 20 weeks then we can say that the user has most probably got at least 120 activity points or more to get eligible for full-member rank.

Now suppose that the user has made at least 200 posts during those 20 weeks and now he/she somehow decides to delete some of the old posts. If the same member deletes at least 100 posts from the 200 posts and now he/she has 100 posts on the forum. That's an indicator that the user has only 100 posts and in such case the user will have 100 activity points and he/she is no more eligible for full-member rank even if he/she has more than 100 merit points.

I have heard this before that deleting too much posts can have you loss your current rank. But I'm unsure if it's totally true.

That's true.
If your posts are deleted, you may lose your activity and if you lose actvity, you may lose your rank.

Technically, what can happen is that deleting posts could lead the account to drop down a Rank (or a few), like the cases I’ve got inventoried here, but anyone is entitled to ament their posting history if they wish to. I recall people who started off as bounty hunters, and then went off it, consider whether they should delete their bounty reports. Some likely did, most probably let it be. Either way, it shouldn’t really matter that much unless someone is trying to cover something and the deletion leads to bringing something to the spotlight.

Yes of course I will try to do that now and I will try to write a thoughtful post and thoughtfully reply to any post.

It shouldn't have any bad effect on your account but deleting your old posts might affect your forum ranks. I heard someone with full member rank deleted his few old posts and it ranked down.

That will happen if the user who deletes his posts old posts deletes so many of those that less than 120 posts remain. 1 post = 1 activity point and if someone who has 120 activity points and 200 posts and suddenly that person decides to delete 120 posts then he/she will have only 100 activity points which will de-rank that member. A full-member rank requires one to have at least 120 activity points.

I have heard this before that deleting too much posts can have you loss your current rank. But I'm unsure if it's totally true. I have never seen any person saying, I was a senior member but I'm now full member. Is it really possible? Is anywhere in the forum mentioned about this? Like an official post from admin or mod? Can you provide a link? I want to see. I thought activity was just like merits. You cannot loss them.

First off forum users delete messages for different reasons, for example :

it could be that the reply itself was off topic and you realised this and took it down
someone might ask you to pull it down as it might contain sentive personal information about a forum user
fyi others have gone has far as posting private keys in public and deleting a post is all done to correct these mistakes.

But does deleting a message leave a dent to our name, it's definitely yes and no..just because you deleted without the mods doing it doesn't mean someone else didn't see what was happening and if this tends to be a habit, you would
be surprised that people do notice these things and keeping tabs. Besides why write stuff that won't stick Huh

just shows some thought never went into the writing .

losing your activity count or being demoted to a lower rank if you delete enough of your posts is the only thing I can think of that would negatively affect your account, though some members find what you did suspicious, or might ask some questions. just so you know, there are already members who have deleted enough of their posts themselves that their activity decreased, and nope they weren't tagged for doing it.

DT members really shouldn't be tagging members for being shitposters, because that's what the merit system is for, i.e., to keep them at a low rank in order to disincentivize them from posting for money.

The best course of action from any member is when they see a shitposter they can report it to moderator. The feedback system is in no way to use for it even a neutral.

Quote from: stadus on October 08, 2023, 11:32:34 PM

but it's usually just a neutral feedback.

I find it funny when members justify a feedback of their color. I can show you dozens of feedback written in italic and regular font but when you will read you will have a negative idea about the person who has the feedback on his feedback page. The feedback leaving for shitporters was first started by actmyname I think and these days many members inspired from it and abusing the system.

Simply it's because you're a shitposter, click the quoted message to read entire rules in this forum. If you don't want your post get deleted, you must increase your quality post and avoiding to post in self moderated post will decrease the possibility your post would be deleted by the original poster.

It's completely normal. There are no reason to tag someone for that however we have some over enthusiastic forum members who will write a note something like "Be aware..." but I think most of us already learned how to ignore this group and their leader.

Totally get what you're saying. There's this forum member who's tagging users suspected of posting low-quality stuff. I've seen quite a few accounts get tagged, but it's usually just a neutral feedback. I'm not sure if there have been updates to this tagging system, but let's be real, nobody's a spammer all the time, right? Some people might try to step up their game and improve their posts. Tagging does kind of work as a warning, but personally, I'm not convinced it's all that necessary.

Now, in response to the OP's question, I can see how you value your account, but I'd say no, it won't mess with your account because it's not reported.
