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.

Really! Can you mention the archives (the second one) where our posts are being copied. I am actually amazed to hear this. 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.

(OP)

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 Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Facts, Bitcoin is kingis the best in the world.

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.

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.

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 ?
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.

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.

Of course you can delete anything you want from your post history. It's your account and your have a choice.

But remember once you posted something on the internet it stays forever... so it's possible you will delete your post from bitcointalk but else where it will stay for example loyce club... or ninjastic.space or maybe in someone's photos as a screenshot:)

Anyway answering to your question in any normal scenario yes you can delete the posts. No, does not have any bad effect on your account.

And deleting your own posts?  Unless you're doing it to hide the fact that your account was purchased and someone figures that out, I'd have to echo everyone who said here that you're not going to get in trouble for doing so.  Members might wonder why you're doing it if they even notice, but I don't think anybody should or will get negative trust for that.  There's no reason to do so that I can see.

When your posts are deleted by forum moderators, you will receive notifications in your inbox. Those Deletion notifications will be warning and red flag for  you to stop your low quality posts.

You only don't receive deletion notification if a thread is deleted including your posts in it.

   
Signature Campaign Guidelines (read this before starting or joining a campaign)

Quote
Staff do not want to hand out bans for unconstructive posts but if we feel that you as a user are continually making very poor or unsubstantial posts due to your paid signature the following bans will be issued:

First offence: 7 days
Second offence: 14 days
Third offence: 30 days
Fourth: Permanent ban

Your first ban is your first warning. If you have to be banned for a fourth time it is permanent and you will no longer be allowed to participate on the forum under any accounts.

It is your prerogative if you think that you've improved and you see that your past posts are shitposts but if you tried to hide posts where you cheat and its an evidence you just admit that you are guilty, accounts that changed hands are usually accounts that delete their posts to avoid being traced, but if you think that your only intention is to delete useless and no value posts I don't think there's harm doing that.

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.

That’s base on what you post and what the DT portrays it. Also multiple deletion of your post by DT could get you a temp ban but it is on rare occasions, below is a quote from one of the forum moderators

There is no set number and bans are taken on a case by case basis but bans are rarely given for a set amount of posts deleted. If you're caught spamming and all your posts are very low quality then you might get a temp ban. If you don't take the warning and continue making low quality content you'll usually get another ban with the duration doubled but if you have to be banned three times then the fourth is usually the last one you'll get. Thankfully most don't get that far these days but there's also less bans given out for sig spam. This is something we still should be enforcing at the root cause which is the sig campaigns themselves. If they're paying for this fluff time and time again then they should receive the punishment but that's rare. The only case I can think of recently was yobit. Thankfully most campaigns don't get that bad but yobit was like an avalanche of spam unleashed instantly so they had to be dealt with.

Some of my posts have been deleted by moderators, but I'm still fine until now. However there are some differences that I noticed, when I was a newbie, my short posts were more easily deleted by moderators but once I had a higher ranking, my short posts were fine. I don't know why that is

It’s simple when you were a newbie you didn’t have much understanding of the forum and what it entails but now you have grown in knowledge and your short posts carry semantic meaning than they were before. It is not a rank thing even now if you post a short post without meaning or value it will get deleted.

There are instances that can make people delete their own posts. There was a time I had network issues and that made me post the same thing twice... when I noticed, I have to come back the next day to delete one of the posts.

I have also seen some people who made applications to different signature campaigns at the same time and when accepted in one, they delete the other applications. I would also love to know if this is a bad practice.

There should be other reasons why people delete their posts, but I just gave the ones I have experienced.

Other reasons are most people after growing up in the forum rank and also knowledge they went back to their old posts and felt like they were certainly not of quality and probably due to shame or what they decide to delete it them selves. These posts could be those without proper English grammar, Altcoins posts of no value or bounty reports. The later is done so that the member can position himself to look more like a quality poster than a merit fisher when he starts ranking up

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.

This hold true if your account activity and posts numbers are very close to each other and if you delete your posts, it can affect your current rank, but those accounts who are very old and have greater number of posts, deleting even 100s of posts may not have any effect on the account ranking.

If you delete a few posts, it is of no harm, it is your profile, so you can decide to keep it clean and free from some unwanted details like unaccepted campaign applications, low quality post you may have made when you had lesser knowledge etc. But when tons of post are deleted from an account suddenly, that can be considered suspicious and can increase the attention an account gets.

It is just increased suspicion, if nothing is found, you will not get tagged or queried for it.

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. There are several reasons why a person may choose to delete their posts, some users may decide to delete old posts from their newbies days because they find the posts to be low value and do not want to see them in their post history.

Most persons delete their post because after posting they read through the post and noticed they were going off topic, so the feel its best deleting the post than letting the mod do it. In my opinion if a mod deleted a post then you should take it as a criteria to always to always read through your post and think before posting them on the forum. A lot of persons dont go through their post over and over before they post and this has cause them to loose one way or the other.

Also most post that are deleted by mod or the owner is as a result of the post being posted on the wrong board. This kind of mistake are mostly done by beginners and those who are still learning in the forum and most times they dont know where to share their thought so they just post it anywhere. Lastly some post are deleted because the image shared in the post is not conveying the message the user is trying to share in the opened post.

It should be normal practice as long as you have a reason to delete it.
I think many people have deleted their own posts for some reason - but if the posts are deleted in large numbers then perhaps some monitors will question the purpose of your actions. I know that's not why you deserve the tag - but something like that is always suspicious.

If you delete posts at intervals with reasons such as duplicate posting or it being a wrong information, it's not an issue. Pretty much everyone does that as well.

Deleting at a much higher rate regularly, or deleting all of the posts you have made will raise a few eye brows. Not enough to get a tag (negative), but enough for users to avoid replying to your comments cause you commonly delete replies you've made and break the flow of discussions. You will get on some ignore lists and get some neutral feedbacks too.

Yes, it can harm your rank in the Bitcointalk platform because your Post will determine your activities of your account in the forum, but if you discover that there is errors or mistakes in your post, I guess you can edit your post to correct the errors in your account to make your activities in your account remain balance. If you find yourself in such situations ,don't delete the post than to read the posts very well to know the right words to use to flam your write up to attract more progress in your account.

Deleting your own posts doesn't harm your account at all and the only thing will surely change is your post count and some cases your activity points too but if the reason is different which you deleted so many post then it will make you suspicious and people will hesitate to get involved with you and will most likely mind their own business and don't care about you at all for being suspicious or you might get ignored (possibly).

The first thing is to ask yourself why you want to delete the post ? I hope it is not because you said something to anyone bad and/or you want to back away from your point of view or any such controversial thing. Apart from that, deleting your own post will do no harm to you.

Also remember that deleting a post yourself and getting a post deleted by mods are two separate things. If you get your post being deleted by mods, this means someone reported your posts and the mods found that they are not up to the standards. Getting a lot of post getting deleted by the mods could also temporary ban your account.

Deleting some old posts likely won't get you tagged. But if you erase a ton of stuff you posted, people might wonder why and the internet never forgets. Things you put out there are hard to take back completely.  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.

Deleting a post doesn't affect your account , however if your deleted post contain some suspicious activity then it's possible that you may recieve neutrel tag. This tag serve as a   reminder  and doesn't harm your account. anyway deleting post is not good practice unless you have made any mistake.

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.

No need to delete our post because we can used them as reference purpose in the future and whenever we look at our post we can know when we are progressing gradually. If your post got deleted by mod it's assumed is a low quality post hence their is no bad effects towards it rather you are encouraged to make quality post, alternatively I can say that the post you made is either doesn't reflect to what the thread is saying and if mod or any admin finds them they could get those post deleted.

If you keep deleting your post sometimes you are attracting eyes to your account because people can either sees it as account try to change hands or being controlled by other user. That is why you don't need to delete any of your post although this could be a kind of something that will be there for you in time to come to know how gradually you are making progress. But if you delete your post it shows that there's an evil activity going on within your account.

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 80 activity points which will de-rank that member. A full-member rank requires one to have at least 120 activity points.

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 ?
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.

Can I guess it? But this doesn't seem like a guessing thread, so let's forget it.


Oh no, this seems off topic, I'm ready for it to be deleted or reported  Grin

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.
This can also lead to temporary ban of the account if moderator keeps on seeing posts to delete.

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 have deleted many of my posts before myself and nothing happened to my account. But do not delete post in a way it will affect other people. There are some times that you may decide to delete your post.

Some of my posts have been deleted by moderators, but I'm still fine until now. However there are some differences that I noticed, when I was a newbie, my short posts were more easily deleted by moderators but once I had a higher ranking, my short posts were fine. I don't know why that is
Unless I'm wrong, if not, I don't see post length as what's being used to determine whether a post should be deleted or not.
You can write a 1-line post that stays on topic with the thread and has a valid message that it's passing to the people, and it won't be deleted, but if the comment appears to be just some form of exclamation and nothing too serious to be located in it, then it can be wiped out by moderators as it appears to be a scam.

Even lengthy posts get deleted; if they're not organic and look like shit to a thread, I think they will also still get nuked down unless there are some exceptions to how posts are considered based on rank, which I have not read about yet.

No, it doesn't. In rare case, you may lose few of your activities. Otherwise, there's nothing wrong deleting your own post. Why though? I don't think there are a lot of reasons for deleting your own post.
There are instances that can make people delete their own posts. There was a time I had network issues and that made me post the same thing twice... when I noticed, I have to come back the next day to delete one of the posts.

I have also seen some people who made applications to different signature campaigns at the same time and when accepted in one, they delete the other applications. I would also love to know if this is a bad practice.

There should be other reasons why people delete their posts, but I just gave the ones I have experienced.

If your posts are deleted because you comment on a thread that appears to be spam, and when they delete the mother thread, your own post is also going down with it, but it was as a result of continuously posting something that's below forum standard, and it happens that people who observe it reported it to the moderators and it got deleted. If such actions continue, I think there will be a higher chance of your account getting a Temban just to warn you of your activities.
 
What's the point of making low-quality posts and later coming back to delete them? Well, if you realise that you have done some post that is not worth posting and you decided to delete it yourself, I don't think any DT will want to punish you by tagging you for that. Unless you have continuously been doing it over and over again where the action turns out offensive in the eyes of anyone who ever notices it, then I believe you might get a neutral to warn you and anyone who wants to deal with you of what your activities have been off.

Do you have any reason why do you want to delete your posts?

Since your current rank is member it might rank down to newbie if you deleted old posts.

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.
